The Bracelet Project

I'm putting on my bracelet again. Not so much to inform others "in the know" but to remind me of the truth. You can't fight a battle if you don't have your eyes open to it.

Who me? Yeah, you!




Flying the "healthy" flag the last several years was such a lie and it really hurt me. Delusion.



For the few ED hobbits still snuggled in under a rock, this is the bracelet project:


Each disorder has a color that corresponds to it.

  • Schizophrenia is gold 
  • Bipolar/mood disorders is silver 
  • Anorexia is red. 
  • Bulimia is purple. 
  • EDNOS is pink. 
  • PMDD is brown.
  • Depression is blue. 
  • Self harm is orange or black. 
  • Fasting at the time is dark green. 
  • Suicidal is yellow. 
  • Overweight/obese is turquoise. 
  • Anxiety/panic disorders/OCD is teal. 
  • Bullying is lime green/light green 

Adding 1 white bead means you’re trying to recover.

If your bracelet is half of the color that your disorder is and half white it means you’re in recovery.

You can also make the strand the main disorder you have then add beads to your lesser disorders, or if you have EDNOS, if you have more anorexic or bulimic tendencies then you can add a red or purple bead.

If you see a person in public wearing one, you are supposed to make eye contact and point to your bracelet. If s/he nods then you know s/he is part of the bracelet project.
