Self-injury awareness day! =)
 

So SIAD is on March 1st. So what is everyone going to do to help spread awareness? I personally am going to wear orange and try and be strong enough to show my scars all day without be ashamed. Any other suggestions?

I made a shirt that says "Self Injury Awareness Day" on the front and "Break the Silence" on the back with an orange ribbon..

It's my birthday. I'm also working all day.

So i'm just opting for the orange bracelet at work.

I put some posters up around the SU. I'm doing tours of the uni tomorrow, and will be wearing my orange bracelet then, as well as Sunday.

I've postered all the bus stops in the main 2 streets of aberdeen last night..
doing he uni today...
doing torry and cove on Saturday (and rosemount and the supermarkets if can)
and holding an information stall where selling orange ribbons (profit goign to charity) on sunday at the uni halls

I was thinking of doing something at uni, but it's too late now. =(

I haven't got anything orange to wear, except my self injury awareness bracelet. (Y)

you could still ask...

i dont have anything orange.. i might buy some ribbon and stuff tomorrow, im going out with my mum and then i can wear it =]

I'm going on t.v !!

^ WOW, thats amazing.

I'm going to wear my orange wrist band and place the SI posters up around my town.

im going wear orange and im going to try and get orange ribbons that i can wear

rustedchains and I are doing some stuff at our school today! (Since obviously, there's no school on Sunday).

She's pretty much been the brains behind it all =) She designed some excellent posters to put up around campus, flyers that we will have on a table near the cafeteria for people to pick up, and the best part -- t-shirts for us! They all have the same slogan: "Step up. Reach out. There's hope." I like it =)

I contributed my talents in putting together ribbons (which we're also going to have on the table by the cafeteria for people to take) and putting the iron-on transfers on the t-shirts =P

I am currently wearing bright orange pants, my t-shirt, an orange ribbon, an orange bandanna, and orange ribbons in my hair. Hehe...it's quite fun.

We're going to wear our t-shirts to church on Sunday too, and see if we can hand out some ribbons and flyers there. Yay SIAD =D

when are you going on TV? what show? when? xD i wanna watch =]

I'll be at work so imma wear my bracelet,
might write S.I.A.D on my hands though.
That way, everyone i'm serving will be like "Ooo whats that"

xx

iiiii
 

Don't really know much about that day. Do we just like... talk to people about SI or something? I'm all for telling people about it, but I just wanted to make sure that was the point.

I'm doing absolutely nothing for it =]

its just raising awareness, so whatever you feel comfortable with, some will just wear orange without an explanation and some people have gone and put up posters all over town are selling ribbons and such. its just however you feel comfortable promoting awareness for SI =] x

I gona wear my orange top , ribbons round my wrist ! a pin ribbon ,

=( I've walked past our table near the cafeteria a couple of times since this morning...hardly any of the flyers or ribbons are gone. =(

...and I'm starting to feel really quite self-conscious in all of my bright orange. *sigh* Maybe things will start going better once class is over?

1st of march wa date is that one :S....
I dunno what to do i might go out sunday and wear a shor sleeved top
