And no, I do not mean self harm. I saw this idea on a self harm support website: you simply draw a butterfly (or any other symbol that floats your boat. I hate that saying, btw.) anywhere on your body where you would normally SI. You do this when you feel the need to self harm, instead of actually hurting your self. It's called the butterfly project, google it.
Anyway, the theory is if you don't self harm until the drawing fades, it is a sign of achievement and hope because the butterfly has flown away. if you do SI when the drawing is till visible, you have to wash it off. This symbolizes that you have killed the butterfly, but you can always try again with a new drawing.
I am not going to draw butterflies, but a heart with a tear drop because me and my friend want to get a tattoo of this design.
Who knows if it will work, but I'm gunna try...
