- Data is a part of the Niamh Louise Foundation Youth Forum. We are the youth of many communities wishing to raise awareness of suicide & self-harm. The group is centered around Northern Ireland initially, but this is to reach other parts of the world.
If you feel sad, lonely, depressed, even suicidal it does not mean you are a bad person, or crazy, or weak, or flawed, it only means that you have more pain than you can cope with right now. We're here to try and help people cope with that pain. To give them someone to talk to, to provide a light in the darkness. If you don't know who to talk to and dont know where turn for help; just ask. Everyone can get lost sometimes but we can give you the right directions.
Please join our mailing list for information on upcoming events and further information!
if you would like to talk, please pm one of the moderators and we'll write back.
The blogs will be updated with upcoming events & plans for the group.
Stay safe!

the butterfly project

The Butterfly Project has been created for self-harmers who feel they are ready to stop and need the motivation or support to do so. I found it on another support website and it was recommended to them by a members hypnotherapist who found this idea on an online blog and felt that it was a good idea that should be promoted as a distraction.
The idea is simple. The self-harmer simply draws a butterfly on their place(s) of self-harm and if the butterfly fades without them self-harming, it means it has lived and flown away, giving them a sense of achievement. Whereas if they do self-harm with the butterfly there; they will have to wash it off. If that does happen, they can start again by drawing a new one on or any design to be honest
A couple of people tried this and found out that pen washes off pretty quickly, so to make it last longer try starting with a caterpillar, when that washes off a cocoon, and then a butterfly!
Or for those of us who are just lazy and want to stick it on, try rub on tattoos, not just butterflies, but hearts, stars, tribal designs for the boys and more. There have also been a couple of people who write the names of their friends and family, so that when they feel the need to injure, they see the reminder that they are trying to stop not just for their loved ones, but for themselves. People also tried using song lyrics or quotes.
Anyway I just thought it was a simple and genius idea to help people in recovery

actually my psychologist taught me it, it really does help! i'm using it for my anxiety attacks and its brilliant
Suicide is very serious, but there is help at hand, there is a technique called EFT (emotional freedom techniques) that can help you, they basically work by "tapping" on certain points, simple to use and work immdeiatley.
Can help with feeling of suicide, confidence, depression, self esteem and many other problems..

nice page people keep it up
Beautiful page, I hope lots more people join and seek help. :]
I've attempted suicide and had a load of crap in life, but like the comment below, I'm a much stronger person now.
I had a tough life:
Fractured Skull aged 5.
Sexually Abused aged 6.
Appendix Operation aged 8.
Father Killed in Troubles aged 10.
Unable to get a Job after Graduation.
Mother developing Parkinson's 6 Years Ago; She died last January.
But I've come out stronger. I eventually Passed the Driving Test, am Financially Stable and an attending Several Networking Groups.
Just a link to some relaxion tips and a few mp3s to help too
