The Butterfly Project:
The Rules are:
1. When you feel like you want to cut, take a marker, pen, or sharpies and draw a butterfly on your arm or hand.
2. Name the butterfly after a loved one, or someone that really wants you to get better.
3. You must let the butterfly fade naturally. NO scrubbing it off.
4. If you cut before the butterfly is gone, you’ve killed it. If you dont cut, it lives.
5. If you have more than one butterfly, cutting kills all of them.
6. Another person may draw them on you. These butterflies are extra special. Take good care of them.
7. Even if you don’t cut, feel free to draw a butterfly anyways, to show your support. If you do this, name it after someone you know that cuts or is suffering right now, and tell them. It could help.

About me
Fourteen percent of the adult population (age 18-54) suffer from an anxiety disorder. I am included in that percentage. Maybe you are too. Whether it is general anxiety, OCD, or a specific phobia we all suffer from the same feeling of anxiety with ourselves. Even though millions of others share this disorder it is easy to feel alone. I feel like I have learned to cope with my disorder and I want to be here for those who feel alone or scared. I know how your feeling and I want to help. This blog will document my experiences with anxiety and I want you to ask questions and share your stories I will listen. Whether you have anxiety or are just curious feel free to talk with me or anything!
