i have had a hard life when i was younger up until a few years back, i honestly do not see cutting as a solution for anything. Seriously it is common sense. I've had depression and all, you just have to fight through it cutting is not worth it
@SexBobOmb10 It has nothing to do with common sense. My god, that sounds ignorant. I have a lot of common sense & so do others who self injure. just because YOU do not self injure does not mean people who do it just lack sense. No, it's not a good solution and no one is saying it is. But it is a real problem people suffer with, it becomes an addiction in itself and it's people like you who further the stigma about people who SI. Think before you speak especially if you've been depressed too.
you are so inspiring :) i have been self injuring for 3 years now. and i hear all the time that people cut themselves for attention. my "best friend" actually said that to me the other day. i go through the days faking my happiness and go home everynight and cut myself. people dont realize how much they are hurting others with their words.
You're amazing, and your videos are inspiring. thank you :)
i cant stop my SI. how could i take away what has been my coping mechanism for over 6 years? i just wish so much that i had someone to talk to. only a couple of my friends know, but they dont understand - as much as they try to. i'm sick of feeling so insignificant and stupid and low. I wish i had a friend like you to talk to! i saw your videos on that person you defended at the party you were at and i think that was really great of you
I dont really know what to do Ifeel selfish because i cut.. My boyfriend tries to help me, But i wont take it. Because i feel like nothing can help me, And i feel as if i'll suffer forever. It makes me feel selfish because my life isnt even all that bad, i dont have family issues, (Dont have a family enough to have conflicts) I just feel like theres no reason to live, I feel like noone has a reason to live, Life is pointless. Being happy is pointless, There wil alwys be sorrow to overcome it..):
so i am 14 and i cut myself. it really doesnt matter where, but yeah. i have shoplifted razors before. i was soo scared the first time i did it i got home nd cried. i have never done it again. the feeling u get after isnt worth it. i felt extremly guilty nd afraid they were gonna come get me.if anyone who reads this wants to shoplift razors just dont. its stupid nd not worth it.
The reason people call it "emo" is the reason I didn't tell anyone for years. Some people would see band-aids on my arms and ask, "What are you, emo?" as a joke. But it's not a joke, and it just hurt too much...so I just hide it and hide it until I know I can tell someone who won't judge. =/ Calling it emo and telling people they're not allowed to have problems is just silencing those who go through it.
(sorry, loooooong comment) Anyways, I was CRUSHED, especially since this was coming from my favorite teacher. How the hell do people think saying that stuff will help. They know we tend to be sensitive and emotional as is. It just seems like common sense to me. Anyhoo, love your videos. They've helped me a lot. It's nice to see other people that have gone through what I have and who know how it feels. Thank you sooooooooo much <3
I agree 100% with every single statement in this. I've been self injuring since I was 11 (I'm 19 now) and even though I've gotten used to hearing crap from people, that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt like hell to hear that from them. And I'm EXTREMELY sensitive, so I'd always take everything super hard. Once I tried to confide in my favorite teacher and she said "I don't know why teenagers gripe about everything these days. Their lives aren't that horrible; they need to suck it up."
The comment I get most often is, "There's people starving in Africa and THEY don't cut themselves." I don't tell people anymore. And I'm brunette, gold eyes, in the band and theater, straight A's. Nobody would ever suspect me. But as soon as you tell somebody...it doesn't matter who you are anymore because your self injury defines you -- even though it shouldn't.
I used to shop lift um, but now ... Its like, if I'm going to get them, I might as well just buy them. I usually have on a long sleeve shirt if thats just all I'm going to buy, or if I have fresh cuts anyways ...
You know little did you know in this video that years later your page will hit 1 million views have 5000+ sunbscribers and be on healthy place and have a website comng up. Your vioce has been heard and you have changed self iinjury veiws in thoudsands of minds. I for one am so greatful for you. You have not olny changer my life but you have changed thoufsands. Your a GREAT person. <3
you are an amazing woman for putting yourself out there and trying to help break the stigma of mental health issues. i can much relate even though i don't "self injure" i have be in the process of trying to recover from an eating disorder and this type of self destructive bulimic type symptoms are very similar. it makes it harder to recover when noone else understands and there is such a ugly, awful stigma.
keep doing what your doing ...you are helping so many people by doing so.
It can be so helpful just knowing that someone has a voice because talking about self injury and admitting you have or do self injure are two different things. Thanx
i got to say thank you for standing up for the ones of us that can not speak my own soon to be husband dose not understand he found out i am still doing it cause i hide it and is pissed and treating me like crap he is not understanding what i am going throw
ya i shoplift knives a lot. my boyfriend who struggled with self injury will urge me to throw out my razors and knives and i will....but then i will just go get more
I dont judge you. I think you are a very brave person. Thank you for your videos.... I have self injured for 3 years now.... No one ever suspects the quiet girl in the back of the room right?
I cried! That was amazing. Thank you so much for all that you do for the people who don't have the courage, or the strength or whatever to say all of this. It needs to be said. Thank you soooooooooooo much.
I absolutely love this video. I have never heard anyone put into words exactly how I feel when I self injure and exactly what I feel when people make those comments about me not being the "type of person" who self-injures. Thank you so much for all of your videos and for being a voice for people like me who are way too scared to come out and talk about it like you are. Thank you so much... I am so glad that I found your channel!
i think its wired how some people SI for attention like there are so many other ways to get attentention, this is just me, but i would die if people found out i dont know what i would do :S
I did it so see if I could stand the pain, because my family always had teased me about having a low pain threshold... boy how I showed them... now I can't stop, because it was definitely a release.
Hey,I started watching your videos because I liked your how-to bleach your hair right video.
But then I saw alot of your others about self injury.First I gotta say thanks for not posting the typical gory,emo music cut-a-thon type video.Nice to see someone just discussing it.
I've been cutting for twelve years and going.I've found you have to either get used to the huge social stigma against cutting or completely hide it at all times.
good luck with that - you won't be able to surf youtube while you're sitting in a jail cell or paying your state restitution instead of being able to pay your internet bill.
But think about it this way; Emo's have..."popularized" self-injury. You can't say that "A lot of self-injurers are Emo", but you CAN say that "A lot of Emo's are self-injurers". There's a very small amount of Emo's compared to everyone else, so it doesn't really make that big a dent.
You are absolutly right. People have a very bad perception of SI. I know alot of people who think badly about it. They look at someone who suffers from self-injury and think its bad and its for attention and all of these negative things and then they look at someone with the heroine addiction and think wtv, its just a drug problem.
Im going thru so much of what you said rite now. Everday people make stupid comments and as much I try to let them go they get to me and they hurt. This seriously is like mi new favorite video everr.
you can e-mail me: selfinjurysupport at hot mail (sorry, youtube is weird about any kind of link) and i'll give you my messenger name from there - i am not on a whole lot though. talk to you soon :D
I came across this video looking for answers but still havnt found them. I'm glad there are people out there like you who are willing to speak up about it, your alot braver than i am. I wanna wish u good look really, i hope you achieve your goal and there will be people on your side including me. I think you've took alot on if your going to try and get people to accept SI and i hope some day people wont ignore the fact people are capable of hurting them seleves. Xx Sam xX plzz reply :)
What answers are you looking for? Maybe I could help you. Thank you for the comment and for wishing me luck. I appreciate it. :) I'm on your side too.
No probs:D erm...I'd rather not discuss it over the internet as there are people in my life that are unaware nd i want it to stay that way. Is there any other way i can talk to you? its fine if you dont want to, you probs have loads of people asking you for help. xXSAMXx :)
Do you mean you don't even want to talk through email or messenger, etc? or just not through youtube? let me know. If you do need to talk we can figure something else out :)
i didnt know that there are other ppl that shoplift razors. ive been cutting for about a year now, but id been self harming for ages before that,before this emo thing was popular,i find your videos very helpful,im glad to see someone that wants to help other people :) message me please?
I shoplifted razors for a long time. I even had my friend do it for me. I was shocked to hear that, too. I guess we all think we are alone, but in ways are so similar and have no idea. Thank you for watching my videos, I appreciate it. I will definitely message you when I get a second, if you don't hear from me, message me and say hi, okay? I get a lot of messages and tend to get overwhelmed sometimes :) Take care and thanks again xo
wow, razors, thats unexpected. there are always razors in my house, so ive never had the need to shoplift, but saying that, i would rather use somthing else than get caught for shoplifting. thanks for the amazing video, and good luck with your self injury.
wow, razors - i would not have expected that would be the number 1 item teens get caught shoplifting, i mean when i self injured i just asked my mom to buy razors cuz i needed to shave, or i took my parents razors.
I was VERY shocked too. I shoplifted them occasionally, but never thought many other people did. But a lot of people who SI also have poor impulse control, and that's what shoplifting is about as well. Still shocking though.
i totally agree with you. could you message me? i have been cutting since i was four and i really need someone to talk to and u sseem to have a very clear understanding of how painful it can be to go through this alone, and i am...surrounded by friends yet so very much alone.
it's hard to have many people around you and still feel completely alone. i can relate. i would love to talk to you... you can send me a message any time you'd like to talk, i'll try to get back to you asap. Take care.
Just want to let you know that I came across your videos by accident, watched a few and... I dunno, they pretty much made my day. I feel a great deal of respect towards you now, I just wanted to say, keep up the good work, its nice that there are people out there who understand =]
Thank you very much for your compliments :) I am glad you like my videos and that they make you feel less alone. i'm always around if you ever feel like sending me a message. take care and thanks again for watching & subscribing :)
i have been watching a few of your videos lately and i think u have a lot of important things to say and i completely agree with you here in this video.
Emo kids are just pain wrapped inside a trend or style, it has happend many times in the 19th and 20th century (grundge/seatle heroin scene anyone?) The difference with today and then is the internet, all these kids in the 90's would be problay woven to their friends and groups. Now with connection, you can interact your mental sickness, stick a child in a catholic family, pretty sure he will become catholic. Emo is catchy and cool looking, i love to get my culture threw a computer screen
Oh and I also wanted to thank you, xsullengirlx, for discussing the whole shoplifting thing. I'm still recovering from self-injury, and I shamefully admit that I, too, stole razorblades. I felt, and still do, feel terrible about it...but at the time, it was such an impulsive act. I was more or less concerned with having that safety-net. An over-abundance of razors made me feel safe and secure. I couldn't necessarily be forthright and actually buy them; I was much too ashamed.
Making videos on the internet about cutting yourself doesn't help the argument that faggots aren't cutting themselves for attention. Also goth chicks were way hotter than emo/hipster cunts.
Homophobia is lame. Yes, people DO cut themselves for attention. I never said anything to counter that statement, but it's not fair to generalize everyone as attention-seeing when they aren't. Making videos about it ISN'T attention seeking, either. And what do goth chicks have to do with anything, and fuck you if you're implying i'm an emo/hipster cunt. but irregardless, thanks for the comment.
There are clinics in some major cities that have nurses who will teach you how to self harm safely btw. They provide the materials, a sharps box, gloves, swabs, first aid instruction, etc. It called the Harm Reduction Model.
I am 29 female, and I have been *punishing* myself via Si & EDNOs since I was 7 or there abouts. I have subscribed and will soon post videos in response.I am having some better days w/o cutting but that is because I tend to just *dose up* on benzos and barbs instead... providing I have managed to stay away from food. Otherwise I feel guilty and must cut... You know how it works.
i definitely DO know how it works... completely. It's a vicious cycle, and I am so sorry you are going through it. Please do post some videos of your own, I would love to hear your story. xox.
omg lyke u dont even kno, ive been stuffing my face with twinkies lyke u wouldn't even believe!!! im such a fat cow i sware i barfed like 10 times this week, what a failure i am.. well i g2g listen to sum fall out boi now BYEE! :D ps-WRITE BACK SOON K?
I'm not sure if that reply is supposed to imply that you think I may be young or immature or what have you, but I was simply expressing my sympathy because it really looks like you have let yourself go.
oh don't play the "I am just expressing my heartfelt sympathy toward your fat ass" card, because i'm not buying it. Even your username suggests a complete lack of maturity, and coupled with the fact that you go around trolling OTHER videos while you do not post your own so people can critisize YOU makes everything you have to say completely invalid and pointless. So yes, I was implying that you are young (albeit the same age I am), and most definitely immature.
I am also honored that you have been such a loyal follower of my videos to notice when I "let myself go", although please enlighten me: How does one "let themselves go" in the matter of months? Considering I look exactly the same as I did six months ago, please EXPAND on that, because inquiring minds want to know!
It's such a good job there is someone on here who is willing to challange peoples opinions on Self inury and is willing to talk about it and mental health in such a mature way, instead of giving it the lables of emo, goth etc. Your video's are the first sort of real truth about self injury that I've come across on the internet, and I think your amazing. Keep it up hun. xxx
thank you so much for your support, that is exactly my goal with these videos, and i hope to provide a constant source for people with questions about self injury, or a resource for people who struggle with it. Take care. xox
aww..... I lvoe you! this video was the best ever! I could relate so well! I'm going to be honest and say that for like week or so going to the drug store and steal razors has been on my mind! so when you started talking about htat it was like instead CONVICTION! and i was like crap I guess I'm not going to try that anymore cuz if I do I think I'll see your face saying "don't even think about doing that!" so yeah I just love your videos! keep on posting them!
I am glad you liked this video. I can relate to wanting to steal razors... I am not going to tell you not to self injure and not to go buy them, but stealing either way is not good. I mean, think about if you got caught with them, what would you say? It's not worth it. Stay strong and I will keep posting. :) xox
Your a very strong girl. Its soooooooooooooo true about the peoples comment and mad remarks that just make you wanna freaking cut! when you think ppl understand THEY REALL DONT HAVE A CLUE!! keep up the good work. U GO GURL high five!!
Yeah, exactly. Those people think that they understand, and that their comments might talk some sense into self-injurers... Well, they just make it worse. It's sick and sad the way they act, and I wish they would just listen and wake up. *high fives back* ;)
You have done it again...A very mature and thought provoking video...It is sure to draw negative responses, but I applaud your efforts to bring this subject out in the open for only then can in the light people understand and accept mental illness and self injury...You Go Girl!!!
Thank you very much for the support, Mac. It means a LOT. I hope that my videos are thought-provoking. That is my ultimate goal. I hope that someday people will listen. I am glad that you already are :) Take care.
You know, I love ya girl, ya say everything I think. You're a crusader for mental disorders and I'm standing there with you in this crusade. There HAS to be a better way. When will the world comprehend? xxoo Matt
I love you too ;) Great minds think alike. I am glad you are standing beside me, because I cannot do it alone. There IS a better way, and we are going to find it. I hope they will comprehend soon... We just have to keep fighting for it. xox
In Norway the razorblades are behound the counter in grocery stores, with the sigarettes and painkillers. I guess the problem is increasing here too.
I stopped and listened. I understand, but then again I don't really. I guess I would like it to be ONE reason so we could eliminate it. Wishful thinking... But I hear you and I work towards an understanding.
I wish razors were behind counters here, although I am sure people could find anything to self injure with if they were determined. I thank you for your time, and for trying to understand. It's a hard thing to listen to and understand, but it can be done. Take care :)
That's a sweet thing to say, thank you so much for listening. I know some of my videos are a little too long, but I have a lot to say... It makes it worth it when people let me know that they are watching, though. Take care XOX.
i have self injured once or twice but i stopped before i got addicted to it

But then I saw alot of your others about self injury.First I gotta say thanks for not posting the typical gory,emo music cut-a-thon type video.Nice to see someone just discussing it.
I've been cutting for twelve years and going.I've found you have to either get used to the huge social stigma against cutting or completely hide it at all times.
But yah anyways,thx for the vids,keep it up!

good luck with that - you won't be able to surf youtube while you're sitting in a jail cell or paying your state restitution instead of being able to pay your internet bill.

The only reason it's on the rise, is because no one will talk about it! I hate when people make fun of emo's for SI. Not all of them do.
Radchicka95 3 years ago 4
I SI and I'm not emo.
Jeff92187 2 years ago 6
Most of them aren't. I obviously was not thinking when i wrote that i would have worded it differently if i had.
Radchicka95 2 years ago
Dude, I'm like a metal-head/gamer/nerd and I SI.
But think about it this way; Emo's have..."popularized" self-injury. You can't say that "A lot of self-injurers are Emo", but you CAN say that "A lot of Emo's are self-injurers". There's a very small amount of Emo's compared to everyone else, so it doesn't really make that big a dent.

You are absolutly right. People have a very bad perception of SI. I know alot of people who think badly about it. They look at someone who suffers from self-injury and think its bad and its for attention and all of these negative things and then they look at someone with the heroine addiction and think wtv, its just a drug problem.

I came across this video looking for answers but still havnt found them. I'm glad there are people out there like you who are willing to speak up about it, your alot braver than i am. I wanna wish u good look really, i hope you achieve your goal and there will be people on your side including me. I think you've took alot on if your going to try and get people to accept SI and i hope some day people wont ignore the fact people are capable of hurting them seleves. Xx Sam xX plzz reply :)

No probs:D erm...I'd rather not discuss it over the internet as there are people in my life that are unaware nd i want it to stay that way. Is there any other way i can talk to you? its fine if you dont want to, you probs have loads of people asking you for help. xXSAMXx :)

Do you mean you don't even want to talk through email or messenger, etc? or just not through youtube? let me know. If you do need to talk we can figure something else out :)

i didnt know that there are other ppl that shoplift razors. ive been cutting for about a year now, but id been self harming for ages before that,before this emo thing was popular,i find your videos very helpful,im glad to see someone that wants to help other people :) message me please?
iHATEburberry 3 years ago
I shoplifted razors for a long time. I even had my friend do it for me. I was shocked to hear that, too. I guess we all think we are alone, but in ways are so similar and have no idea. Thank you for watching my videos, I appreciate it. I will definitely message you when I get a second, if you don't hear from me, message me and say hi, okay? I get a lot of messages and tend to get overwhelmed sometimes :) Take care and thanks again xo
xsullengirlxdaily 3 years ago
wow, razors, thats unexpected. there are always razors in my house, so ive never had the need to shoplift, but saying that, i would rather use somthing else than get caught for shoplifting. thanks for the amazing video, and good luck with your self injury.
Aidenroxsox 4 years ago
wow, razors - i would not have expected that would be the number 1 item teens get caught shoplifting, i mean when i self injured i just asked my mom to buy razors cuz i needed to shave, or i took my parents razors.
electricxbeauty 4 years ago
I was VERY shocked too. I shoplifted them occasionally, but never thought many other people did. But a lot of people who SI also have poor impulse control, and that's what shoplifting is about as well. Still shocking though.
xsullengirlx 4 years ago
i totally agree with you. could you message me? i have been cutting since i was four and i really need someone to talk to and u sseem to have a very clear understanding of how painful it can be to go through this alone, and i am...surrounded by friends yet so very much alone.

Just want to let you know that I came across your videos by accident, watched a few and... I dunno, they pretty much made my day. I feel a great deal of respect towards you now, I just wanted to say, keep up the good work, its nice that there are people out there who understand =]

Emo kids are just pain wrapped inside a trend or style, it has happend many times in the 19th and 20th century (grundge/seatle heroin scene anyone?) The difference with today and then is the internet, all these kids in the 90's would be problay woven to their friends and groups. Now with connection, you can interact your mental sickness, stick a child in a catholic family, pretty sure he will become catholic. Emo is catchy and cool looking, i love to get my culture threw a computer screen
Lordagathiscariot 4 years ago
Oh and I also wanted to thank you, xsullengirlx, for discussing the whole shoplifting thing. I'm still recovering from self-injury, and I shamefully admit that I, too, stole razorblades. I felt, and still do, feel terrible about it...but at the time, it was such an impulsive act. I was more or less concerned with having that safety-net. An over-abundance of razors made me feel safe and secure. I couldn't necessarily be forthright and actually buy them; I was much too ashamed.

Wow, TOPallDAY, you're quite an unintelligent moron. Quit making assumptions based on something you know absolutely nothing about.
brittanyxxx 4 years ago
Making videos on the internet about cutting yourself doesn't help the argument that faggots aren't cutting themselves for attention. Also goth chicks were way hotter than emo/hipster cunts.
TOPallDAY 4 years ago
Homophobia is lame. Yes, people DO cut themselves for attention. I never said anything to counter that statement, but it's not fair to generalize everyone as attention-seeing when they aren't. Making videos about it ISN'T attention seeking, either. And what do goth chicks have to do with anything, and fuck you if you're implying i'm an emo/hipster cunt. but irregardless, thanks for the comment.

There are clinics in some major cities that have nurses who will teach you how to self harm safely btw. They provide the materials, a sharps box, gloves, swabs, first aid instruction, etc. It called the Harm Reduction Model.

I am 29 female, and I have been *punishing* myself via Si & EDNOs since I was 7 or there abouts. I have subscribed and will soon post videos in response.I am having some better days w/o cutting but that is because I tend to just *dose up* on benzos and barbs instead... providing I have managed to stay away from food. Otherwise I feel guilty and must cut... You know how it works.

xsullengirlx 4 years ago
I'm not sure if that reply is supposed to imply that you think I may be young or immature or what have you, but I was simply expressing my sympathy because it really looks like you have let yourself go.
TurdSandwich14 4 years ago
oh don't play the "I am just expressing my heartfelt sympathy toward your fat ass" card, because i'm not buying it. Even your username suggests a complete lack of maturity, and coupled with the fact that you go around trolling OTHER videos while you do not post your own so people can critisize YOU makes everything you have to say completely invalid and pointless. So yes, I was implying that you are young (albeit the same age I am), and most definitely immature.
xsullengirlx 4 years ago
I am also honored that you have been such a loyal follower of my videos to notice when I "let myself go", although please enlighten me: How does one "let themselves go" in the matter of months? Considering I look exactly the same as I did six months ago, please EXPAND on that, because inquiring minds want to know!

It's such a good job there is someone on here who is willing to challange peoples opinions on Self inury and is willing to talk about it and mental health in such a mature way, instead of giving it the lables of emo, goth etc. Your video's are the first sort of real truth about self injury that I've come across on the internet, and I think your amazing. Keep it up hun. xxx

aww..... I lvoe you! this video was the best ever! I could relate so well! I'm going to be honest and say that for like week or so going to the drug store and steal razors has been on my mind! so when you started talking about htat it was like instead CONVICTION! and i was like crap I guess I'm not going to try that anymore cuz if I do I think I'll see your face saying "don't even think about doing that!" so yeah I just love your videos! keep on posting them!
unruliness0315 4 years ago
I am glad you liked this video. I can relate to wanting to steal razors... I am not going to tell you not to self injure and not to go buy them, but stealing either way is not good. I mean, think about if you got caught with them, what would you say? It's not worth it. Stay strong and I will keep posting. :) xox

In Norway the razorblades are behound the counter in grocery stores, with the sigarettes and painkillers. I guess the problem is increasing here too.
I stopped and listened. I understand, but then again I don't really. I guess I would like it to be ONE reason so we could eliminate it. Wishful thinking... But I hear you and I work towards an understanding.
