The Butterfly Project is a way for self harmers to slowly ease their way out of the dangerous habit. Every time you want to injure yourself, you draw a butterfly on the area and name it after someone you know. That way in the future when you want to self harm again, you see the butterflies and remember why you shouldn't.

The butterfly project is a great thing! You simply draw a butterfly where you feel like cutting and give it a name and use pretty colors and make it so personal and beautiful that you can't stand to cut it!

The Butterfly Project was an experiment I had tried to stop cutting. It is where you, or someone else, will draw a butterfly on your wrist, or wherever you cut, and you cannot wipe it off. It must slowly disappear on it's own. If you cut, the butterfly dies. I drew them on my thighs so no one would see for fear of being judged. It really helped, I did this nearly nine months ago and I am clean today. I still have urges, so I draw a butterfly to keep me going.

The Butterfly Project is a project created to help those who want to stop self-harming. The self-harmer draws butterflies on the areas they would normally harm, and is encouraged to name them after friends and family members. When the self-harmer hurts themselves, one of the butterflies dies.

The Butterfly Project is a special skill to overcome the urge to self harm. You have to draw a butterfly of the part of the body where you want to hurt yourself. If you hurt yourself the butterfly dies. So I think it's a really nice Project to care for yourself.
