i've been diagnosed with depression since last summer and one thing i learned for sure is that if you want to get helped you need to be strong enough to help yourself and not depending on sites. yes, i stayed alive before because of a site. not TWLOHA but from tumblr. tumblr saved my life NOT cause it gave me advices or a 'get help' button in case of smth. it saved me cause i didn't feel alone. you have no idea how hard is to deal depression alone, but its the only cure. really.
I don't get why there's so much BS about this? TWLOHA is MORE than a clothing line. It brings hope and faith because of one persons story; and how we can respond to that story and maybe find hope. Just talking about TWLOHA and what it does and what it stands for, I've helped so many people.
What kind of bullshit is it bringing Hate into a support group? TWLOHA has done nothing to attack any one. Yeah they sell things to get the word out. Not to gain money. Infact why would they need it? They just won a million dollars the other day.
this organisation is everything to me, no one knew about it where i live but 2 months later, people are starting to know about it, ive been raising awareness, running benefits, education people myself, spreading the message of twloha, and im only 14, anyone can do it, just believe, peopleask me why do i do so much for this, because it has meaning, they dont dwell they act, something that needs to happen, and they've brought it <3 <3 im continuing raising awareness every day
I'm 12,I found TWLOHA in a song by Hawthorne Heights. I think that everything that TWLOHA is doing and is amazing. I read Renee's story online and fell in love with the program and what they are doing to people who suffer from things like this. Thanks TWLOHA.
@wizardsareREAL Cause it reeks emo. It's obviously a big buzz, look at all the merchandising. I don't buy it. Having cut myself for many years, i don't relate to that kind of shit at all. If you're 11-17, then this "organisaztion" brings you music and merch. Great.
@LuaBloe That's bullshit. This is nothing more than a support group. Yeah, they sell things. But you don't have to pay for a conversation. It's about being honest. And about how fucked up things can get. I've been cutting more than 5 years, battled with addiction, battled with depression, and suicidal thoughts and actions. This organization reeks HOPE. If you can't respect this maybe you should back off. Because clearly it's gotten so big because these are real issues. People need hope.
Jamie, I don't know if you'll read this but I live in Belgium and at school, we had to write a text about our hero. I wrote it about you, because I think that you're a hero. Thank you for talking about topics that people don't usually talk about. Thank you for saving peoples, thank you for giving us hope. LOVE is the movement and I'll fight for love and hope. Good luck to you and Renee, you are such 2 beautiful people inside out. Thank you.
@bekahbabe10 I'm glad you're getting help and that you have a friend that's helping you through it! I'll admit my life fell through the floor again like 6 months after I posted that comment I never attempted suicide again but the cutting was back But its been a month or five since the last time I cut I'm one of those invisible people that nobody notices so I had to lift my own butt off the floor XD but im really glad you have someone that cares about you. Its so important! It makes things easier
Twloha, I owe you. Owe you big time. Guess what? I'm going to repay my debt to you by living my life to the fullest and always be there for my friends when they need it. Just like you were for me. :)
I have never had anything bad happen in my life, and yet i strive to always help people because no one deserves to hurt, to feel worthless. You are special and if someone tells you know one cares know this, i care. i will care more than you can ever imagine, i may never get to know you but i would listen for as long as i took. because your someone someone close to my heart and i cant take the pain away but i can hold your hand as long as it hurts. i may nevr meet you but know; this i love you
@royilwulf i agree with you 100%. To all-Know that there is a God = Jesus and he does not cause evil or pain or what ever, but is Good to happen, if you are in Need come to Jesus- say in Matthew 11:28-30 says Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.-- receive Jesus in your heart- be saved form sin
@ThatsHimJunior When your sad, you probably cry to release all the sadness u feel. Some people try to hide it by punching or getting into fight. They feel like causing pain will get rid of that feeling.
The 79 people who have disliked this are the ones who can't reach out for help. They think they can handle their depression on their own. They're wrong. I don't think anyone can get through depression alone. I'm praying for all of them.
DONT EVAR GIVE UP God loves each and every one of you!!thier is still hope for you!you can talk to me ive been through a lot aswell i have had a horrible past but i still have faith and hope for me and you and every one in the world!!i love you and so does god :)never give up hope yea :)i am only 2 years olderthan you i no whats it like
This video helped me when i had givin' up on everything.For anyone that still has problems,THERE IS HOPE!!! God helped me and he can help u if u give urself to him.I've been clean for almost a year now
I met you in HB last weekend, my name is Sofia. I wanna say if you see this i wanna say that you made me a difference in my life!!!<3 The day I met you changed my life. <3 I LOVE YOU
@jwdesign336 No, not officially. There are people in TWLOHA who are Christian and there are mentions of God. But they do not force Christian ways or treatments. It's more about all of us becoming the help, making it O.K. to tell someone you're messed up. And that's what makes it so beautiful.
i dedicated this video to my ex girlfriend. i have depression my self but no where near as bad as hers. i had to watch her suffer and look at the scars depression left behind on her arms. I thank god for saving her life when she decided that she couldnt take the pain anymore and overdosed. She finally understood depression can be treated and she is doing a lot better. I love you Jen your the strongest person I know <3
@xXDreamScarexX You are welcome. I am struggling with cutting and I can`t seem to get to that place yet. But I havnt given up. Its always nice to hear of success with this addiction. Demi Lovato is truely my inspiration. She has helped me so much in the past few months
the song at the end- what is it?? twloha helped me quit cutting and drug use. and when i feel that urge, i know i can come back to their website or to their videos here on youtube.
One goodbye is another hello, one heartbreak is another love, one death is another birth, one end is another beginning, one almost is another forever. Never stop just because one thing ended. I am living a story, and I will not give up.
Seeing all these comments of people cutting themselves makes me feel sad, that I can't reach to everyone :( there are only so many TWLOHA shirts I need, but regardless if only everyone had someone to talk to things would be different. Point being..I'm here for anyone..No matter who you are
when I learned about TWLOHA I found hope I knew then I wasn't the only one battle this now it's been about 2 and 1/2 months since I cut. Thank you so much-3
I wish I would have watched this video long ago. I am cured but I battled it for so long! I could have got help sooner! I wish I wouldnt have dealt with the pain as long as I did. This video makes me want to cry because it reminds me of how I felt and how god was there for me... but I just didnt see him ;(
The only thing I asked for my birthday. TWLOHA shirt and wristband. And I got it on the back of my wristband I wrote " john • emily • devin • chloe " those are the people I support it for. “To Write "Love" on Her Arm” not only helped my friends but help me be a friend. THERE IS HOPE. THIS IS NOT THE END!!!
I owe the people who created TWLOHA. Without them, I wouldn't be here. My friend showed me TWLOHA after he noticed that my arms were all scarred up and he found sleeping pills in my room. My attempts at suicide have failed, but my cutting still hasn't stopped. I haven't quite found my reason on WHY I should stop... I feel as if there is nothing in my life anymore. Sure, I have a boyfriend, but I never see him and we fight a lot lately which causes me to cut. /: I hope he helps me find a cure. /:
I can honestly say I was depressed and wanted my life to end, if it wasn't for God who saved me, and God who was there for me when nobody else was. My broken heart was fixed, and restoration has begun. If you feel depressed, may I say there is someone who knows your pain and sorrows, and his name is Jesus Christ. He died to take your pain away, that you may have a life worth living.
Depression nearly made me end my life, i ended up in hospital for it. I have scars on my body that will never leave me. It was my only way to cope with the past i had. I wouldn't wish depression on anyone. If anyone wants to talk feel free to drop me a message.
@biggoblyds Same, I'm in the UK and I really need help, we only have a couple of vague crappy charity lines but theyre pretty shite. I wish we had this : /
@106141214 i know what you mean. theres nothing in england. theres stuff for if you are younger but once you get to about 20 theres nothing, theres samaritans but they just listen. there needs to a TWLOHA in england, it could change most of englands problems.
@biggoblyds Im 16 and even I cant find any decent ones :/ Ive tried samaritans too haha they are well bad, i told them everything and asked what to do then they go "we dont do advice", and im like Right. Lol. I could just talk to a rock and get the same results then. But yes I couldnt agree more. Hope things go okay for you :) xxx
@106141214 I know what you mean, I have phoned them a few times, its ok if you're under 18 theres childline, but once your over 18 theres nothing. its like once your an adult in england you are on you own.
This is a topic that needs to be talked about more often. Im glad twloha has become part of our generation. Its a dream. MY dream. An idea. An idea i wantt to follow. A movement i want to be part of. I need to be part of.
There is soo much that i want to say but i cant put in to 500 characters. The only reason im still alive is because of my friend. She doesnt know but she is the most important person i know. I wish i could tell her this with all my emotion.
@chadrummer727 Its not amazing. Nowhere near amzing. More like HORRIFYING that people wont consider what other people feel for a change. Im not attacking you.
I had this best friend. She'd been like my sister since 3rd grade. Then I moved away and we didn't talk as much. She thought I had ditched her. She became depressed and began cutting, choking herself, and burning. She then tried to commit suicide. I heard, and i just broke down. She didn't succeed, but it still opened my eyes. She got help, and recently is out of the help clinic. She talks to all my friends, but she ignores me. It hurts, but i still think of her as my sister. TWLOHA <3
I understand how some people can say "grow up and accept the loss" the thing is they try, but sometimes they don't have the mental stability to do those things. Newsflash people are different in a lot of ways. They aren't as strong as you mentally, just like some people have sickness that keeps them from growing physically stronger. They need help, because on the inside they are weak and like a someone diagnosed with a physical disease they need someone to help them through it.
just wanted to say, that twloha is the only reason ive mad it 20 long years on this earth.the last few years have been horribly hard, and the support offered by them , helps so incredibly much, you've all given me hope, and the strength to pull through
This is the most amazing campaign. We need this, against all the crap in our lives that make us upset/ depressed love is the thing that keeps us going and love is what saves us all. TWLOHA <3 x
This weekend a friend at my school committed suicide. He had a rough family life, but so many loving friends. He was depressed for years and couldnt take it anymore. A lot more kids at my school our thinking of suicide too, and if we could all just show one person a day love, it could save them. Nobody knows what someone is going through just by looking at them. A simple smile and a hello could save a person for one more day. The past couple days have taught me alot. RIP Dallas 3/13/2011
@theduelwield5 when i saw the date, it made me think about how much i took that day for granted. i wish i could help more people and i wish someone would have reached out to them. the reason i was shocked about the date is because that is my birthday and i was wearing a TWLOHA shirt that day.
@thestackedhouse i bet you dont have many friends. and im also willing to bet you dont even see that its your negative attitude that repels everyone around you... ill go so far as to guess that if you killed yourself, not many- if anyone, would really miss you when your gone. no need to reply, i dont care what you have to say. just wanted to share that uplifting opinion with you. seeing as youre so kind to do the same for everyone else veiwing this video.
i hope to god that anyone that watches this video will learn that there is hope and that cutting,burning, and atemps @ suicide isnt the only way out there are many way to get out with out getting hurt... phisicaly or mentaly........may god be with us guiding us and watching over us.....he loves us no matter what, who ever reads this comment i hope it helped if it didnt then thankyou for your time to read this. ~think about this please~
I started cutting alittle less than a year ago. I got really deep into depression and attempted suicide 3 times. 50 sleeping pills and ten advil later im still here. Apparently my insides are made of steal. after attempting 3 times and failing each time with enough sleeping pills in my system EASILY shut down my weak tired body i dont know why or how i woke up. The only reason i can come up with is that God must want me here and someone must need me. i havent cut in 2 weeks, im healing now.
@garretsgold379 I know how difficult this must have been to write down. You are a brave soul and I hope you continue to heal and thank you for sharing a part of your story. <3 Rob
@garretsgold379 I'm glad you're till here to tell your story!
Check out my blog i'm working on- theloyalarmy.tumblr.com
I'm trying to make a motivational kind of website where people like us, sort to speak can all kind of unite together, not be judged, and continue our journeys to recovery and healing. I have my story on there as well under a different page- the link is on there. I'm trying to get the word out about it :)
Please pray for me. I have this problem with cutting myself and masturbating. If i don't cut myself i masturbate and if i don't masturbate i cut myself.... it's a vicious cycle and i just want it to stop. I don't want to do either :(
I've been 18 days clean. I know its not much, but its certainly a beginning, and Im proud of that. Without TWLOHA, I wouldn't be alive today, right now. I cried while watching this video; it gives me hope to know I'm not alone.
@DroBONILLA1 dude that is not funny at all i find it offencive and so will many other people if u have nothing nice to say on this vid shut ur mouth and dont watch it cuz none of us want to hear ur negitive comments cuz im one of the people who hurts themselves to escape from people like you
@DroBONILLA1 my point is for u to shut ur mouth cuz ur probly someones reason for killing them selves so think befor u speek people dont kill people words and actions do so u think this is so funny u try liveing a day as one of us and see how u feel
@xxemoxxkiss12 cry me a river. how bout you grow up and accept the wins and losses in life, learn from mistakes, and face the world. do that without cutting please.
I cry every time I watch this. I recently lost a dear friend to suicide. I love what you guys are doing and think the world needs it so desperately. <3 Jazzcat
@JazzcatChristopher i know what you are going through jazzcat i lost my best friend/first love to sucide and if i were to have showen him this i probly would have saved him just stay strong and if u need anything feel free to add me and message me ill be happy to help<3xxemoxxkiss12
I LOVE TO WRITE LOVE ON HER ARMS :) IT'S ONE OF THE BEST THINGS EVER
it gave me strength and courage a f=friend of mine showed me this because i use to cut and i use to be bulimic but im better now iim a strong suppoter in this and every time i hear Renee's story this story her story i alwways break down and cry :) i plan on getting a few things tatted on me for this
If it weren't for this movement, I wouldn't be here right now. I've never self-injured myself cause I knew I wouldn't be able to hide them but I would have these suicidal thoughts whenever I would be near a sharp object. The reason why I am here, is because of the TWLOHA and my music. I have something to make me feel better but it breaks my heart to know that others don't. That's why I started my own movement, inspired my the TWLOHA. Thank You, TWLOHA. You saved my life....
I used to be very suicidal. I know I have depression still and I know I will have it for the rest of my life. It is a mental disorder but I can fight it by not letting anything put me down. I love this organization 100% it really did help me find and gain hope for myself.
I wish my ex boyfriend would realize that...
he broke up with me 3 days ago because he thinks he isn't good enough..
He wants to kill himself and I don't know what to do..
@caul56 ..um honestly twloha even admitted its not about religion..you dont need to believe in god ect ect to believe in the movement...its about help..knowing you can be saved..twloha can be the savior...but twloha isnt really a Christian organisation.. yes they mention god and jesus several times but anyone can be a part of twloha.. believing god or not its not based on christianity ..more so based on believing that your story is important that you deserve to be here..
This organization is really just truly amazing. I just discovered it, and i wish i would have years ago. I started cutting when i was 12 and didn't have the courage to tell anyone til i was 14(i'm 15 now). Everyday I used to think that the world would be better off without me, and that i wanted to be dead. Really i just needed help. I've been called a psycho bitch before just because i cut..and well it hurts to be judged like that..Thank you for this organization. ♥
So a couple days ago me and my sister were in the car.We turned around &there was this girl in the car behind us that looked really sad. We wrote "Hi" on a piece of paper.
She laughed (:
It felt good to see her smile ("
Also
I bought some TWLOHA bottons they other day, and I'm likem, super broke, I spend most of the money I get on my friends.But I totally support TWLOHA. I know the poisomous sting of depression.
This was put on Youtube the day I decided to first cut myself.August 14th,2006..That day was my birthday<l3 ...I wish I heard of this then..Now the evidence on my wrist will never let me forget the pain..
@Blueberriess I don't think it's meaning to say that like...no other races suffer from this but I think it's more of like a saying since most people when they explain something say that.
i dont think i've ever faced a more difficult thing than asking for help. while this gives me courage, even typing out that i need help makes my eyes misty. thanks, twloha, for giving me courage, what little courage i have is because of you. jamie's picture is hanging above my bed, and i look at it every day. one day, i'll have courage.
the stars are but the reason for my present existence. they are little beacons of hope. They are often hidden but with patience it returns on its own.
this is deep and brings me hope for the future, maybe life isnt so bad after all. maybe i dont have to end it all. TWLOHA is something im glad is here. To any member of TWLOHA who happens to stumble across this little comment i wanna say thank you, maybe this will drag my outta my depression, knowing someone or in this case some people care is.....nice...it gives me hope
i've been diagnosed with depression since last summer and one thing i learned for sure is that if you want to get helped you need to be strong enough to help yourself and not depending on sites. yes, i stayed alive before because of a site. not TWLOHA but from tumblr. tumblr saved my life NOT cause it gave me advices or a 'get help' button in case of smth. it saved me cause i didn't feel alone. you have no idea how hard is to deal depression alone, but its the only cure. really.

And I got it on the back of my wristband I wrote " john • emily • devin • chloe " those are the people I support it for. “To Write "Love" on Her Arm” not only helped my friends but help me be a friend.

I owe the people who created TWLOHA. Without them, I wouldn't be here. My friend showed me TWLOHA after he noticed that my arms were all scarred up and he found sleeping pills in my room. My attempts at suicide have failed, but my cutting still hasn't stopped. I haven't quite found my reason on WHY I should stop... I feel as if there is nothing in my life anymore. Sure, I have a boyfriend, but I never see him and we fight a lot lately which causes me to cut. /: I hope he helps me find a cure. /:

I can honestly say I was depressed and wanted my life to end, if it wasn't for God who saved me, and God who was there for me when nobody else was. My broken heart was fixed, and restoration has begun. If you feel depressed, may I say there is someone who knows your pain and sorrows, and his name is Jesus Christ. He died to take your pain away, that you may have a life worth living.

I had this best friend. She'd been like my sister since 3rd grade. Then I moved away and we didn't talk as much. She thought I had ditched her. She became depressed and began cutting, choking herself, and burning. She then tried to commit suicide. I heard, and i just broke down. She didn't succeed, but it still opened my eyes. She got help, and recently is out of the help clinic. She talks to all my friends, but she ignores me. It hurts, but i still think of her as my sister. TWLOHA <3

I understand how some people can say "grow up and accept the loss" the thing is they try, but sometimes they don't have the mental stability to do those things. Newsflash people are different in a lot of ways. They aren't as strong as you mentally, just like some people have sickness that keeps them from growing physically stronger. They need help, because on the inside they are weak and like a someone diagnosed with a physical disease they need someone to help them through it.

This weekend a friend at my school committed suicide. He had a rough family life, but so many loving friends. He was depressed for years and couldnt take it anymore. A lot more kids at my school our thinking of suicide too, and if we could all just show one person a day love, it could save them. Nobody knows what someone is going through just by looking at them. A simple smile and a hello could save a person for one more day. The past couple days have taught me alot. RIP Dallas 3/13/2011

I started cutting alittle less than a year ago. I got really deep into depression and attempted suicide 3 times. 50 sleeping pills and ten advil later im still here. Apparently my insides are made of steal. after attempting 3 times and failing each time with enough sleeping pills in my system EASILY shut down my weak tired body i dont know why or how i woke up. The only reason i can come up with is that God must want me here and someone must need me. i havent cut in 2 weeks, im healing now.

If it weren't for this movement, I wouldn't be here right now. I've never self-injured myself cause I knew I wouldn't be able to hide them but I would have these suicidal thoughts whenever I would be near a sharp object. The reason why I am here, is because of the TWLOHA and my music. I have something to make me feel better but it breaks my heart to know that others don't. That's why I started my own movement, inspired my the TWLOHA. Thank You, TWLOHA. You saved my life....

This organization is really just truly amazing. I just discovered it, and i wish i would have years ago. I started cutting when i was 12 and didn't have the courage to tell anyone til i was 14(i'm 15 now). Everyday I used to think that the world would be better off without me, and that i wanted to be dead. Really i just needed help. I've been called a psycho bitch before just because i cut..and well it hurts to be judged like that..Thank you for this organization. ♥

I bought some TWLOHA bottons they other day, and I'm likem, super broke, I spend most of the money I get on my friends.But I totally support TWLOHA. I know the poisomous sting of depression.
