Im ready for help. Im really REALLY ready for help... I just dont know how to get it. If anyone has, would they mind sharing their expierence of telling their parents they self injure or have and ed with me? Id really appreciate it. Thanks
@peacelovepierce I just came out and told my mom about my self-injury and ed. She used to do that stuff so she was really accepting. But your parents shouldn't freak out....well, my dad did, but he's just dumb. Don't be afraid and just do it. If it helps, write a note explaining and give it to them. It's easier that way. Then talk about it when you're ready. Message me any time! I'm always here!
@peacelovepierce Its good your ready for help, when I needed help at my lowest I whent to school and they sorted it out. I'm not really comfortable posting my experiance on this video for all to see haha but if you want to know more or need some support feel free to message me(:
I did so well. I stopped hurting myself for 3 months (which is a long time for me) then I just couldn't resist anymore. But this comment isn't for attention. Its for all those who struggle but want to stop. It is possible! Even for a couple of months, those months of freedom from your struggle gives you the best feeling ever! So please try to stop. If I can try, you can to.
The beginning is quite confusing....Pointless, really. Vote down as much as you like, but I just don't like this song at all. Her voice sounds bad. My opinion.
@Shaestel That's right, it let's out endorphins and the people who do it enjoy it because it helps their stress level go down, like you said it helps them cope... but its still bad so I say anyone who does it needs to get serious help, whether its a coping method or not they should find a better 'method'.
@bananapie191 Trust me. We dont always love it. The only ones who love it are the ones who do it for attention. The rest of us are ashamed of it... hence the reason it is hidden until we are ready to ask for help. It is a very hard thing to deal with and did you ever consider that this is the only method of coping that works? Honestly I have tried getting help and nobody really cares to help at least nobody at the 3 hospitals I have been too... and no other coping skills work....
@Bearz95 HOspitals won,t ever car,e they see too many people passing through their dors with the smae problem, it becomes redundent... I was able to get out, not because of a hospital nor meds, but becasue I found soeone who I cared for enough to fight for that person, when tihngs got tough I turned to that perosn for help, together we stopped and we are at a year and 8 dyas of no self hamr, it is possible, you just need the proper reason t fight, or you will fall back
@Bearz95 I used to be ashamed, now I'm proud. I didn't do it for attention and I'm not proud of the fact I used too self harm, I'm proud of the fact I stoppped and turned my life around.

Okay everyone, look at it this way. Both top rated comments are from a year ago and both are on diffrent POVs on the subject of self-harm. Look at this! The person who is against self-harm? 49 likes. The peson who says sometimes you just can't love yourself? 207 likes. Obviously, we know where the majority of the vote goes.
I don't want to sound too harsh, but stop waiting for someone to find you and help you. Sure, there are people who care about you and are willing to help, but if you want to stop harming yourself, find happiness within yourself. Do what you enjoy doing. Life is only what you make of it, and it's too short to be sad all the time. Don't care about what other people think. They don't know you, so why should their opinion even matter? You are amazing, just the way you are, so don't put yourself down
@BloodAndRainbows13 What if your not a happy person... and self harm is the only way to save yourself from some of the pain that others cause you and your just waiting for someone to save you because you can't do it yourself. Maybe your in an abusive relationship and the pain is natural, or maybe your raped constantly and the only way to control the pain is by hurting yourself... Just think from a different point of view and maybe you'll understand
@ihumpchuXD That's what I was trying to explain. You have to achieve happiness within yourself. You don't have to be a generally happy person, but it does involve change. If you were in those types of situations, then you should probably reach out and get help. I understand where these people are coming from perfectly well, I just don't think hurting yourself is the best way to handle it.
I posted a video about how i hate myself (dont watch it it sucks) but its a testimonial to tell people....we can work through that....we can make ourselves better....but its hard and it hurts, if you dont understand,itsb etter you don't....it isn't a feeling I'd want anyone to have to feel if they don't already....people wont get along with eachother until they can get along with themselves.....
If you don't think you can love yourself then find someone you know who does. Then try to imagine them loving you and how much they do and then try to apply it to yourself.
I'm not trying to tell you to do anything but I know what it's like not to feel wanted and hating yourself for it, thinking that it's your fault and your fault alone, but it's not. (It took me awhile to figure that out.)
I still don't love myself, and maybe I never will. But I do love others enough to put self harm in my past. So other than a few bruises, cuts, and scars I'm fine :) and you can be too. I don't know why I'm writing this, and I definitely have no idea if it will help anyone. Just know that so many people have been exactly where you are right now, and you can get through it!
To all people going through something awful: You ARE an amazing person. There's nothing wrong with you. Whatever has upset you- bullies, abuse- with parents, relathionships, whatever- just know that someone will always be there for you. A friend, cousin, pen pal, even a staff member of some sort, some one will be there. And maybe, somewhere, someone you've never met YET, may just be a special someone who's waiting for you. So don't worry about the awful things, look on the bright side of life:
Suicide, self harm, and hating yourself is something that's happening everywhere. I know people all around are saying 'Just lend a helpig hand! Be nice!' but, really, not many people are actually helping with the problem. I'm no expert, I assure you, but it makes me feel dreadful. So, everyone, let's all try to help out others, make friends of everyone, and be open to whatever someone might say? Somehow, maybe, you just might save a life and become a hero.
I know right? Anyone can go up to some dealing with these issues and offer to help in any way you can and be nice to them. But its something completely different to be sincere. To sincerely want to see this person happy again...to be healthy. You can say "you can tell me anything. I'm here for you." And you could be until it gets really hard and then you back out. You can be nice to anything. dogs,cats,ect They need love and know that you sincerely belive they can become well.
i remember when i didnt love my self i just hated me i felt like not living it waz like shit i wanted 2 follow my brother n sister path n cut my self while blood dripp down my body now i just dont know if i love myself i think im nothing any more
The song makes me think she's about to commit suicide and someone rescues her...
SideNote: I've read some of the comments, and it kind of pisses me off when someone says 'all you have to do is love yourself. just love yourself!' If it was easy to love yourself there'd be no 'evil' in the world. It's not just about hating yourself or those around you. Sometimes, feeling physical pain is the only way you know how to deal with it. For those who can't understand how hopeless it feels STFU.
@WolfxHowlsx I agree with you. Loving yourself should be simple but it's actually really hard. And you're right. Physical pain seems like a good way to deal with life's issues and problems because it makes you feel in control and you it's something you can be sure of.
I think this song portrays the feeling of wantin to die, and having someone brighten your day. Like at the beggining when she says "I finally picked out my cloud", meaning she decided to do it, then when she says "MAke me sound genuis, make me sound special, and maybe i'll come down" meaning she wants someone to see her like that.
I have to agree with MusicalBarSquirrel. It's an addiction for many, and it's a coping mechanism. You may think that it's flawed because you think it's wrong to harm yourself, but it's merely your mindset. We're not glorifying self harm. It's just that we can't love/like ourselves the way you people do.
this song is so touching. it's the exact way i feel. i used to cut but don't anymore so except for a few scars, i'm fine :) and i really hope that everyone else on here who is cutting can get to the point where they can stop. i know it's addicting and really hard to stop, but with enough will-power, you CAN stop hurting yourself.
im sorry but all your comments are really scary because the things that my cousin went thorugh were alot like what your saying except he didnt grow out of it he killed himself at 17 years old
i have to say this whole argument is stupid. i know whats it's like to hurt yourself, been there, done that, got the scars. you all honestly have to find something to make your day just abit better. seriously, try watching your father die a slow death over a year, cancer shatters lives but i managed to hold myself together to not cut. put it this way, there's always someone worse off than you and you should be grateful for what you have
i'm so glad strider saved me <3 all i have left to remind me of my past is the few small bruises, cuts and scars. reach out, you may make a difference. you're not alone.
You can hurt yourself, but then think: why should I do that? It's not like it's going to be better after you hurt yourself, it doesn't help something, just don't, do that Maybe you think your ugly and nobody loves you, but that isn't true, there's always someone how loves you, and even when nobody loves you, and everyone is mean to you, you can better be mad on them (I don't say you have to hurt them how are mean but just don't hurt yourself.
It's not that it's NOT okay to hurt yourself, more, it's not socially acceptable. And what if you're UNABLE to love yourself? Unless you have self-harmed, you are unable to understand. It's a way for us to cope with many things. Some would say that they can feel the pain escape with the blood, or that it's the only way to feel. God bless, so I'm assuming you're a religious person. Well, cutting gets us through things just as your religion does. View it from our point of view.
Ehm, everyone who's arguing about cutting? Hi. @lacrosseplayer49 : You can say anything you want. People who cut themselves usually don't listen. I used to scratch myself open. I stopped: I needed medicines to the infections. @everyone cutting: Life doesn't improve by hurting yourself. Stop gradually. If you can't, get loved ones around as often as possible. Still cutting? Do things you love. Write story's or poetry or songs. Draw or paint. Make/listen music. Love your life. You only got one. X
a lot of people who cut cut to feel something as well . we don't love anything anymore , words never come out right , drawing doesn't matter , everything we used to love does not matter anymore . when you cry people don't look down on your choice to let out your feelings . and when we cut we shouldn't be looked down on for expressing our feelings in a different way .
@mandeyKayy You're not looked down by me. The message I wanted to give to you, was that you should try to do something you've always wanted to do. Just to get yor attention away from the bad things in life. It's what music and drawing did for me, and I hoped it would do the same for you.
omfg like last year i watched diz vid n fell in love wit it. then i 4got wat it was called n how it ent n cudnt find it 2 save my life.. but now i found it!!! =D
You gotta love your flaws, defects and learn see your virtues. Hold on to life even when you want to let everything go, cause in the end is worth the way, all the pain we went through in the past, makes us who we are, and makes us apreciate every moment of happiness, every little smile. After every storm, the sun will shine.
And I´m not saying this because talking is easy and cheap but because I been there and I hopefully got through it with much effort.
This song is kind of a trigger.... Thats sad.... I told my parents about cutting myself recently. They didn't care. They said it's just a phase and all the cuts were subluminal and a cry for attention. These "subliminal" cuts are almost everywhere. On my inner thighs, my wrists, my stomach, my chest, and they think its nothing. Parents are dickweeds
I don't think self harm is right.. it's horrible. But it's not the self harmers fault either.. it's very addictive.. I have been there for over a year now. feel free to contact me for support. Youre not alone <3
I am a 13 yr old girl. and i listen to this song everynight and i cry. it reminds me of Me. i have cuts and scars and i jus wish ppl wpould just leave me alone! why dnt they understand.. im fine! i dont wanna talk about it!! im fine....
See your point and I totaly agree with ya ! why can't they just back off and freaking get their nose out of wath I'M doing to MY body ! I make it look like "I" want!!
Realy Don't see what the big deal is ? I understand what it is to self-injure though I don't do it by cutting as often as I used to..
(sorry I just assumed that's what you were on about ,just tell me if i'm being stupid)
anyone message me for support ^^
oups got a bit carried away here ... sorry 'bout that XD
I'm sorry, but you're both wrong. It's NOT okay to hurt yourself. You should love who you are, because you are the only you, the most original, different, unique, beautiful person in the world, and you should LOVE yourself! If you don't respect, love and treasure yourself, who else will?
You need to see what a great person you are. We are all flawed, but that doesn't mean you have to hurt yourself.
This is exactly the way everyone who doesn't self-harm says. The only problem is, what if you CAN'T love yourself? It's hard to understand how someone can't love themself unless you've been there.
I'm not saying you're wrong, bu try to see it from a self-harmer's point of veiw....if you can.
@SkyeHyuuga .... "It IS okay to hurt yourself"...!!
what tha fuck??? Yea, it's okay, sure, 'cause THAT'S what helps!!!!
I mean fuck, if you cut yourself, it's not right... You know, I've got scars in my hand too. I've had them for a year now, but they won't fade... Is that what you want? You're making this sound like it's "no big deal" to hurt yourself!
Every single person has beauty in them... And what's sad: those who can not see it in themselves often turn out to have it the most..
@MusicalBarSquirrel i totally agree...its hard to understand unless you have been there before,i used to think diffrently,and then i grew unhappy with myself and now i can see how someone couldnt love themselves
Its so easy to say I understand. And why don't you just love yourself. But sometimes people need to know that there is someone who loves them so they can begin to love themselves. And generally I don't think this person should be family. Why? Because our family is "supposed" to love us no matter what. What we need to know is that there is someone who can walk away at anytime doesn't because they love us to much and want us to be happy.
@lacrosseplayer49 Yes, in a perfect world everyone would love themselves. Everyone would think they're beautiful, amazing, and smart. Everyone would think they're perfect. But I'm sorry to break it to you, not EVERYONE loves themselves. Not everyone looks in the mirror and sees that original, different, unique, beautiful person that you think we should see. We don't live in a perfect world.
This is a general reply to all the people that comment on the above post. I didn't even know it was liked so many times. I was not being close minded, or saying that people only cut themselves because they have low self-esteem. As you can see, the comment was a REPLY to a specific conversation, which was between 2 people who were agreeing that cutting yourself was fine because it helped them with their self-esteem issues.
I disagreed with that strongly because they treated it as a very light and blase subject. Please stop calling me small minded. I KNOW why people cut themselves, and I know theyre going thru a lot of hurt and pain. I'm not trying to make light of it. Why do you THINK I'm listening to this song? We all go through pain. It's important to try to stay strong and seek out help.
@lacrosseplayer49 Well I really think in the same way now, but a few years ago I was a self-harmer and believe me it's not that easy, the people usually think that self-injurers are crazy people but they just can't understand how it feels, is not that we like the pain, is just that we prefer a pain that we can handle. Is something really hard to get over, you're not wrong but maybe you need to be more empathic.
@lacrosseplayer49 look right i'm not trying to start an argument but i am a selfharmer and this song really speaks to me these days people go through alot i mean i have alot of problems tht i cant solve my self because i just can and until you go through wht i have been throught then you cant say tht you have to love yourself i mean i hate myself and i hate my life and if it wasnt for my big sister lauren and my boyfriend jordan then i wouldnt be here typing this right now just had to say this
@lacrosseplayer49 no actually they r not wrong. its super easy to say all of that whole "self love" stuff when you personally have not gone through it. you just have a diferent (healthier) perspective on life. some of us r not that lucky. i personally have faught with depression for a while and tried to kill myself once. its really hard for some of us to love ourselves, so we compensate by hurting ourselves...self love is a privilege that not all of us have been given.
@iam18yearsorolderish i know how you feel and reading your comment made me feel a little less alone, i fight with suicidal thoughts, cutting and anorexia every day. the only people who can really love themselves are the people who have no reason not to
I'm sorry but until you self harm, You can't say anything. Until you hate yourself with all you have, You can't say anything. Until you want to put that blade to your arm, you have no room to talk.
@lacrosseplayer49 Maybe you have a good reason to hurt yourself. Maybe your life totally sucks and the only pain you can control is the pain you cause yourself... Maybe your a meth addicted that has an abusive boyfriend and has been raped constantly... and the only way to help yourself is by hurting yourself...
@lacrosseplayer49 oh relly i hurt myself all the time i love myself i can take the pain however just depends on who you are. we all express our failure's in life differently she is my fianze i thought the same way you did till i realize some people need their own relief thats not given by others just because you hate yourself doesnt mean youll hurt yourself however vise versa you CAN love yourself and yety still hurt yourself
And just so everyone knows, this man is the one thing in the world that got me to think about stopping my self-harming. I'm still struggling, but he makes it so much easier. ^_^
sounds like me dangit... i love this song someone understands....

It's just that we can't love/like ourselves the way you people do.

this song is so touching. it's the exact way i feel. i used to cut but don't anymore so except for a few scars, i'm fine :) and i really hope that everyone else on here who is cutting can get to the point where they can stop. i know it's addicting and really hard to stop, but with enough will-power, you CAN stop hurting yourself.

i have to say this whole argument is stupid. i know whats it's like to hurt yourself, been there, done that, got the scars. you all honestly have to find something to make your day just abit better. seriously, try watching your father die a slow death over a year, cancer shatters lives but i managed to hold myself together to not cut. put it this way, there's always someone worse off than you and you should be grateful for what you have

It's not that it's NOT okay to hurt yourself, more, it's not socially acceptable. And what if you're UNABLE to love yourself? Unless you have self-harmed, you are unable to understand. It's a way for us to cope with many things. Some would say that they can feel the pain escape with the blood, or that it's the only way to feel. God bless, so I'm assuming you're a religious person. Well, cutting gets us through things just as your religion does. View it from our point of view.

Ehm, everyone who's arguing about cutting? Hi. @lacrosseplayer49 : You can say anything you want. People who cut themselves usually don't listen. I used to scratch myself open. I stopped: I needed medicines to the infections. @everyone cutting: Life doesn't improve by hurting yourself. Stop gradually. If you can't, get loved ones around as often as possible. Still cutting? Do things you love. Write story's or poetry or songs. Draw or paint. Make/listen music. Love your life. You only got one. X

@SimplyNotTheBest22
a lot of people who cut cut to feel something as well . we don't love anything anymore , words never come out right , drawing doesn't matter , everything we used to love does not matter anymore . when you cry people don't look down on your choice to let out your feelings . and when we cut we shouldn't be looked down on for expressing our feelings in a different way .
mandeyKayy 1 year ago
@mandeyKayy You're not looked down by me. The message I wanted to give to you, was that you should try to do something you've always wanted to do. Just to get yor attention away from the bad things in life. It's what music and drawing did for me, and I hoped it would do the same for you.

This is song is exactly like me.
Its hard to undestand how to not love yourself, if it has never happened to you.
When it does happen to you, you relize, its just that simple not to love your self.
And most people think people we can/and will get over hurting ourselves, but it not as easy as it sounds
This is the way we express our feelings, becasue we have been throught things that many people have not been through

You gotta love your flaws, defects and learn see your virtues. Hold on to life even when you want to let everything go, cause in the end is worth the way, all the pain we went through in the past, makes us who we are, and makes us apreciate every moment of happiness, every little smile. After every storm, the sun will shine.
And I´m not saying this because talking is easy and cheap but because I been there and I hopefully got through it with much effort.
Peace.

This song is kind of a trigger.... Thats sad.... I told my parents about cutting myself recently. They didn't care. They said it's just a phase and all the cuts were subluminal and a cry for attention. These "subliminal" cuts are almost everywhere. On my inner thighs, my wrists, my stomach, my chest, and they think its nothing. Parents are dickweeds

I'm sorry, but you're both wrong. It's NOT okay to hurt yourself. You should love who you are, because you are the only you, the most original, different, unique, beautiful person in the world, and you should LOVE yourself! If you don't respect, love and treasure yourself, who else will?
You need to see what a great person you are. We are all flawed, but that doesn't mean you have to hurt yourself.
And I'm saying this because I really believe it.
God Bless.
lacrosseplayer49 2 years ago 74
This is exactly the way everyone who doesn't self-harm says. The only problem is, what if you CAN'T love yourself? It's hard to understand how someone can't love themself unless you've been there.
I'm not saying you're wrong, bu try to see it from a self-harmer's point of veiw....if you can.

@MusicalBarSquirrel Yeah.. It's the worst curse to hate the body you're in.

@MusicalBarSquirrel
Its so easy to say I understand. And why don't you just love yourself. But sometimes people need to know that there is someone who loves them so they can begin to love themselves. And generally I don't think this person should be family. Why? Because our family is "supposed" to love us no matter what. What we need to know is that there is someone who can walk away at anytime doesn't because they love us to much and want us to be happy.

The thing is though, that not all self harmers do it because
they don't love themselves. Some do it as finding a way to
block out or try and take controll of other pain in their lives.
And of course there's the rason that people don't love
themselves. There are maney other reasons that go deeper
than low self esteem. I'm not dissagreeing with you, it's never the right
thing to do and of course you should love yourself,
I'm just saying be a bit more open minded.

This is a general reply to all the people that comment on the above post. I didn't even know it was liked so many times. I was not being close minded, or saying that people only cut themselves because they have low self-esteem. As you can see, the comment was a REPLY to a specific conversation, which was between 2 people who were agreeing that cutting yourself was fine because it helped them with their self-esteem issues.
lacrosseplayer49 1 year ago
@Hazelisafish
I disagreed with that strongly because they treated it as a very light and blase subject. Please stop calling me small minded. I KNOW why people cut themselves, and I know theyre going thru a lot of hurt and pain. I'm not trying to make light of it. Why do you THINK I'm listening to this song? We all go through pain. It's important to try to stay strong and seek out help.
I hope this stops the flow of angry mail,
peace

@lacrosseplayer49 Well I really think in the same way now, but a few years ago I was a self-harmer and believe me it's not that easy, the people usually think that self-injurers are crazy people but they just can't understand how it feels, is not that we like the pain, is just that we prefer a pain that we can handle. Is something really hard to get over, you're not wrong but maybe you need to be more empathic.

@lacrosseplayer49 no actually they r not wrong. its super easy to say all of that whole "self love" stuff when you personally have not gone through it. you just have a diferent (healthier) perspective on life. some of us r not that lucky. i personally have faught with depression for a while and tried to kill myself once. its really hard for some of us to love ourselves, so we compensate by hurting ourselves...self love is a privilege that not all of us have been given.
