Self Injury Awareness Day 2011

talaiporia · 28-02-2011, 09:14 PM

So last year this seemed to be a fairly big thing on here, but I can't find any threads this year...

As most you know, tomorrow (March 1st) is Self-Injury Awareness Day (SIAD). What are people doing for it?

I'm wearing my orange t-shirt, with my brightly coloured orange nails...

OMG I'm going to get well triggeredddddd because I am just that cool. (jokes)
Really, nothing probably. I'm just too cool to care. I may wear my orange t-shirt, not because of this, just because it's clean and stuff.

Oh well, I'll have to think orange.

Might paint my nails orange, if I can be bothered

Or, I might have an orange bracelet somewhere.

I don't tend to wear orange so I don't really have anything.
Oh well. I'll just be, thinking, of it in my head. Aha!

I completely forgot about this; I don't think I have anything orange to wear. Hey ho, I'll just have to try and remember for next year.

I hung SI awareness posters around the neighborhood yesterday... but it rained a lot today so they're all falling down :(

I don't have an orange shirt, I want to make an orange bracelet... or a ribbon to put on my backpack

Charmed · 28-02-2011, 11:05 PM

I will wear an orange bracelet and t-shirt.

shadow-light · 28-02-2011, 11:08 PM

for the last few years every year I have plastered the city in posters and given talks in local schools...

this year I have done nothing :( feel fairly bad about that... but just not really felt up to it

It's good to see that others are doing stuff though :)

weepingangel · 28-02-2011, 11:19 PM
