Today, March 1st, is SH Awareness Day.
Is anybody doing anything? Last year people had some great ideas.
Im just drawing an orange ribbon on my hand, because Im not really prepared to tell everyone I do/did SH.
So, you guys?

Pretty much what you're doing. Orange ribbon and I've got an orange bracelet I wear.

I don't know what I'm going to do. I have some orange beads somewhere... might make myself a small anklet since I plan to wear a skirt tomorrow. It's subtle enough.
Edit, I also have super orange earrings.

I want to do something to raise awareness but there is honestly nothing that won't give me away and im not going to tell.
Urgh, dont even have an orange pen, anything orange for that matter..

I wish I had an orange t-shirt, I'll probably just draw an orange ribbon though :)

I'll do the same, draw an orange ribbon, even if they don't know what it means, they're still curious & notice it.

Uhm.. I almost forgot that it's today, so when I realized I was like SHIT and got out of bed and searched the whole house for something orange xD
Basically the only thing I found was my orange 'Little Miss Naughty' t-shirt that I have never used since I bought it like five years ago. So I'm wearing that and I've also made an orange butterfly on my hand and a ribbon on my wrist.
Woopedoop,

I'm wearing 10 orange silly bands (I might put more on), a orange and black scarf, and a orange and brown bracelet. I'm all set to be questioned why I chose to wear all that orange.

I'm wearing my orange shirt, and orange pants.
I've already been called a pumpkin :/ , but on the bright side. On the announcements today, they said that if your not wearing orange, to draw an orange ribbon on your hand.

I completely forgot this morning because I woke up very late. So only had the orange ribbon on my wrist since about 5pm.
Going to do it tomorrow all day because better late than never. D:

I didn't do anything personally just because one I have absolutely no orange and two I don't want to draw attention to it..
I did however sponsor a friend doing a silence for TWLOHA and she knows why I sponsored so :)

I didn't do anything, which may seem bad. But I don't want to draw attention to myself because it's so stigmatised, I'm glad you guys did something though :)

I didn't do anything, because I was at my granddad's funeral. But on my 1 year anniversary since self harm (April 21st) I'm getting an orange tattoo being carried by a butterfly tattooed on my back

BUT
That same day I spent it in the Emergency Room with a bright orange bracelet around my wrist....faiL
