self-injury vs. suicide: my response

[BeautifulHyster1a]

one thing that isnt clear to me and my therapist has told me that the disorder that i have witch is called "Trichatillomania" is a form of self-injury but i dont agree with her because its just how i relieve my anxiety. however i do burn myself with hot water in the shower....i used to cut myself just to feel somthing, anything cus i felt so numb inside. u know how that is! but would u consider that trichatillomania is a form of self-injury? please get back to me, id appreciate it, thanks.

[interestingramble]

suicide attempts are different than that, emotion wise, I'm either drained or being led on by evil spirits while I'm retarded, like swimming at night bc I'm special or something else stupid that I realize afterwards unless meds are doing it. I do naturally want to die, it seems. It's been a week since my last bio"trip."Anyway, R U dealing with emotion that you can't express or has been there awhile?I used to bang my head as a kid bc I was frustrated; is that how you feel?Not that you're a child.

[xXxambrosexXx]

Please help me! I need to know if there is something "wrong"(term used very loosely) with me. I bite my nails until they bleed, expose large amounts of raw skin on my fingers and sometimes i'll squeeze the skin or hangnail for the pain...................am i being irrational? I really need to know!

[75Sam09]

that you can't breath. Every days is a struggle and I don't know if I will be able to stop ppl say just don't well it's an addiction and I've tried but when times get tough my razors are the only thing that are always there.

Thanks for listening and sorry for such the long message.

[75Sam09]

You keep on trying to explain your self too other people if they can't handle what you say they shouldn't watch it. I cut my self last night my best friend walk in on me with blood running down my legs( legs are easier to hide I don't want to die just need my pain form the inside out) my legs are horrible the scare on my are remind me every day. I'm on antidepressants I see a therapist dam I live with her now. Ppl don't understand. I don't trust myself to be alone it's just hard to hurt so much

[Misalanaious]

i self injure, and i want to kill myself. but not at the same time. thanks for posting this

[xxskate4lifexx94]

i just wanted to say THANK YOU! for all that you do. You are soooo brave to tell people you don't even know about your self injury and help them when i cant even find the guts to tell my friends. Have any words of advice?

[WADTD]

I didn't see the video where you showed your arms, did you take that one down?

[xsullengirlx]

Yeah, I made it private. Sorry :)

[WADTD]

Nah its fair enough, was just curious. Like your vids though, watched quite a few of them.

[scythras63]

thank you for this video. i self harm and ive gotten told to 'go hang myself' etc. so i really like this and i love your message. also

If you aren't a self harmer and you're riduculing self harmers SHUT THE HELL UP! You CANNOT help some one who is depressed by belittling them. that's like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. I self harm so i don't go suicidal it may be drastic but it works. anyway thanks

[pinkrox606]

for some people they are different, but for me they arent

[xsullengirlx]

What do you mean? If you self-injure with intent to kill yourself, then that is a suicide attempt and you're suicidal. Self Injury is harming yourself without intent to end your life. Take care and if you are having suicidal things please call a suicide hotline or seek help immediately.

[krisgallia99]

do you think you could make a video telling us about you suicide attmeps

[blviiva]

you look little bit like the cheerleader from the Heroes. be hero and do it!

[TattooedEm]

Its so sad that people said those mean comments to you, they have no idea. Any idea when the book will be out or when the website will be ready? You were very brave to show your self injury scars, not many of us would dare, its a shame that the negative attitudes made you remove the video. Thanks for being a spokesperson and a great support.xxx

[Boilmesomeeggs]

hey this is my first time i've seen u likeon youtube tapingthis and u did a really good jobn forthis one yes i do or usedto self harm... on september 14 it will be 2 months fornot cutting so i hoopei makeit ... i have a had alot of suicide thought just casue ppl make it worse and its not like i really actually want to die u know... thanks for doingthis and showing those ppl taht its not all about suicide!

[iraqidolphin]

It's self destruction and para-suicidal behaviour. No self-harm is safe. Even seemingly harmless actions can cause repetative strain injuries.

[xsullengirlx]

I never said it was safe, it is most definitely not safe. Of course there have been many instances where suicide was the intent or where the person actually died, but what I am saying is that self-injury and suicide are not on the same level, self-injury in many cases is a life sustaining act, and these people do not want to kill themselves. Yes, it's very harmful physically and mentally, regardless of the intent.

[forcechangenow000]

By the way, I just wanted to tell you that I am very happy to have someone who is speaking out to others. You make us KNOW we're not alone.

[forcechangenow000]

Thank you for this.

[SweetNightmares23]

I cant believe ppl have said those things to you...cant believe can be so mean and stupid.

[whispers1111]

thank you.

[themiln]

I wouldn't take youtube comments to heart! Ideally you would need a mentor because you are up against a chemical imbalance of all sorts. Just like the Alcoholic or drug addict. Don't think your alone either, we are all under chemical attack in varing degrees, yours is more advanced however. Psychology is dependant upon Biology. There is alot that can be done with diet, then emotional esteem comes naturally.

[leaandsky]

im a sh and i just cant stop i want too but i cant if ya have ne ideas on how too i would love to know them

and i think ya doing a awesome job n dont give up well done

and thanks for ya vids

[tissucks]

I respect you a lot for what your doing and saying and what you said about self injury and sucidue is 100% ture

[Mirabell90]

I cant find that video where you show your scars :/

[xsullengirlx]

I ended up making it private because I didn't want to trigger anyone or make people think I was showing them for attention, I usually send it to people privately now. But the video will probably be on my personal website when it gets done. :) Sorry about that.

[noctemaeternus713]

I'm looking forward to reading your book :) You are a very strong person for sharing your struggle and your life with so many strangers. Keep up the amazing work.

[kahnesgirl80]

wow.

i really need your help.

bad.

your amazing stay strong.

[xsullengirlx]

what can i do for you?

if you messaged me i will get back to you soon.

if not, then please do.

take care.

[mssahra]

i love Bodily Harm! I can't wait to read your book :)

you are wonderful. stay strong.

[hideHYDEimcoming]

im perfectly sane right now dont get me wrong. sanity is an alternating thing i was a right nutcase when i was younger and got convinced by some kid in my primary school to use a knife against a girl who was bullied at our school. But karma gets the better of us and when i asked out a girl in secondary school (bear in mind im a small lanky git at this stage) i was turned down and had a mental breakdown right there and then. i maintain my sanity currently by going to the gymn.

[HardcoreRainbowsies]

what is the name of the beginning song?

[xsullengirlx]

Bleed Like Me, by Trapt :)

[HardcoreRainbowsies]

Thanks! :D

[hideHYDEimcoming]

gun all the way mate, hollowed out bullet. but obviously us brits cant get our mits on those wares unless were in a drugs gang. but yeah thats the way to do it, one complete day of you feeling like you dont exist. Some of you relate to it as a void in the centre of your body, and then youll be able to pull the trigger. but thats only if you dont reflect on your life, people who cant or dont wish to reflect are more able to kill themselves.

[xsullengirlx]

I am just wondering... is this an advocation for suicide? I can't figure it out, I don't want to delete the comment if it is just your opinion on suicide, but I seriously don't advocate suicide in any situation.

[burkesean2890]

peolpe see do they care am i worth it

[unbeating]

I have been doing SI for along time and people always refer to those who SI as emo what is that and by the way I liked your video

[xsullengirlx]

"emo" is short for the word "emotional" and usually refers to people who listen to "punk" music, or music like dashboard confessional or something corporate, linkin park etc. It also refers to people in a certain group who wear a certain type of clothing or wear their hair in a certain way. It's really stupid and is so stereotypical and untrue. The people who call people who SI "emo" are ignorant, don't listen to them.

[SheiRaga]

what a lot of people don't realize while they are criticizing is that self injury can also be displayed by smoking, drinking, promiscuous sexual activites, unhealthy eating, and not realizing that some of the many people in general that you mistreat with those comments, may know who you are....life and death are spoken through the tongue, and people cope in different ways, so don't be ignorant and waste your time spreading negativity, I presume you all were raised better than that...Peace

[CreatureofMasquerade]

I always thought when I still cut myself that, if i were to commit suicide, i'd rather take a pill overdose than slit my wrists. I never cut myself to kill myself, but to keep alive (even though it was obviously mentally killing me, having to hide from others, avoid people touching me, make up answers in case someone saw one of my scars accidentally.. even curing your own wounds, it gradually takes all your life.)

I'm glad you did this video. I promise I'll soon make a video response.

[xmphx]

omg me too

[sk8ab]

me too

[sly471]

where did u buy that book?(bodily harm)

[Blake876]

u fukn rock girl.i started cutting only recently, noone really knows about it, and im not an emo, infact i hate punk music,tight pants and hair over my eyes. chek my videos.

[potsammo]

Hey,

i think its great what you doing, i think if there wasnt such a negative and judgemental view upon self injury then many more people would be trying to get help.

i just think people should know that you can get help without your parents finding out and i hope many people do go forward and get help from anyone.

take care sweetie xx

[CreatureofMasquerade]

yeah. I got help from a forum (in spanish, my mother language) and then saw a video here in youtube about an anorexic girl, the video was called YOU ARE GOING TO DIE. It basically said that you're going to die weather you're happy, sad, anorexic, not anorexic.. Then why should you waste your life and rush your death? It was shocking to me. I haven't cut myself for 14 months.

[6gording6]

Self injury is another demon force strangling the life out of people.When you turn and start searching for God I am sure you will see the demon face to face at one point and the only way youll rid of it is by calling the name Of Jesus.I do not come to condemn but to save.Jesus is the way to life.God bless you and take care.

[prideofpvilleband]

yeah right!!! im a cutter and im also a christian. im getting help, and its just as much a SIN as porn or pre-maritial sex. its not a DEMON! if you are so much a christian as you claim to be, read 1 Corinthinas 6:19-20, and tell me what you think. God sees it as not honoring the body he gave you and NOT as a sin.

btw...where did you hear that??

[SQUASHem92]

Don't bring god into this. He couldn't help you even if he existed.

[Gilch30]

An excerpt from 'Treating Self-Injury: A Practical Guide' by Barent W. Walsh gives a good description of the difference between self-injury and suicide. It explains that self-harm is low-lethality bodily harm. It says that those who are suicidal intend to terminate conciousness while self-harmers are looking for a quick and easy relief from an unpleasant experience.

[xsullengirlx]

That's a very good explanation, maybe i'll have to check out that book.

[Gilch30]

It's an excellent book. Even mentions that some of the people that self-harm might be suffering from dissociation and not even know what they are doing or why they are doing it. I hope you get the help you deserve. You seem like a strong and intelligent person. Don't let the naive and ignorant people get you down

[AckiJay]

i totally hear where ur coming from.

i'm 13 and i self injured 4 6 years(since i was 7). but about 4 months ago i stopped.

now i'm proud 2 say that i'm cut free, closer 2 god, and can never c it any other way.

i support u with what ur doing and i'll b praying 4 u.

Jaci

[stopselfinjury]

Recovery isn't always easy, but recovery is possible. I recovered, anyone can

[prideofpvilleband]

thats encouraging. im really struggeling trying to get better...thanks!

[EricaSoFine]

I self injury, I burn... I don't know why it makes me feel better, but it does. And I don't tell a lot of people because they are VERY quick to judge... I haven't burned in a LONG time though, but sometimes it takes a lot for me not to

[Brittyboo1212]

Thanks for explaing this, hopefully it will let people know more about SH. I have been a cutter for quite a long time now, and I've never did it in an attempt to kill myself, sure I have had suicaidal thoughts, but most of them were before my self injury, I think it has helped me alot. Thanks for sheading some light on this subject.

[DarkShadowAng3l]

you are completely right. I've told many people all of this before and someday I hope that people will see self injury as another addiction that some people have to deal with.

[kadybegley]

oh, one more.

your videos help alot.

i can really tell your misunderstood, and you don't know who to talk to.

i once had this problem.

but when my true love and i started going out,he took me to couseling and then i had him to talk to, etc.

ps, you never bared your arms on camera in your video self-injury

[xsullengirlx]

Thanks for the compliment, thank you for watching and listening.

i actually made the video where I showed my arms private.. it was called "self injury scars", but I decided not the whole world needed to see. People who friend request me can see it, though.

Take care

[kadybegley]

ps, i love this song?

[xsullengirlx]

Me toooo! :D

[kadybegley]

i really want your necklace.

i've been looking everywhere.

[xsullengirlx]

i make similar ones, but instead of metal, they are made out of embossed, hard plastic... i have a jewerly blog... hipstercharms dot blogspot dot com :)

[HangLkeAStar]

Good Point To Be On Here To Sort Out Things,But The Sad Thing Is That There Will Always Be Judgement Out There As Long As People Are Different...=/. I Personally Find Your Videos Great Btw. =]

[SoLostInYou]

I hope you're feeling better, I hate people who leave such ignorant comments, I've been a self harmer for quite a while. Take care.

[xmphx]

btw tht last comemnt was to a reply to an angry person lol, love ur vids theyre really helpful ty xxx

[xsullengirlx]

thank you for defending me :) some people are just out to try and upset people on youtube. I try not to let them get to me. They are SO misinformed and hateful, I feel sorry for them really. I am glad you like my videos. Take care xo

[antinosolovitz]

Corporal Punishment to Self-injury: I was hit as a child with a wooden spoon. I responded sexually to the pain and began to self-injure. I am now sexually and psychologically damaged. This behaviour became very addictive and extremely difficult to stop. The "intermingling" of pain and sexual feeling responses was the driving force that led to my self-harm. Thank you for your courageous disclosure.

Section 59 Survivor, New Zealand.

[xsullengirlx]

You are very well-informed about your disorder, and I think that is very brave... So many people are afraid to attack the how's and why's of their problems. I know the reasons behind mine, and you know yours. I encourage people to find out for themselves as well. Thank you for your comment.

[Ithica87]

True dat!!! Thanks!

[LaynaRyann]

Im Happy To see you Talking about this kind of issue because,People need to know!!! And People that say those things to you,Like "just kill yourself" I've gotten that before.And People dont understand self mutilation!!! Proud Of you though!!! :)

[FreakChip]

So, I think its great that you're coming out about all this. Its so hard to do that, especially recently with the whole "emo" thing. But a lot of people (myself included) started before they even knew what it was, like you said. It totally consumes your life. I just think that you're really brave for doing this.

[xsullengirlx]

Thank you for your support in this... It is hard to tell my story because people often times think I am some emo teenager (both of which are not true) trying to get attention. It's hard to overcome, but I really want people to know that the stereotype doesnt fit everyone. Take care and thanks again

[xsullengirlx]

that makes no sense... seriously, you are an idiot, trying to be witty, but it just isn't working! haha.

[DorieEmma]

Ummmmm something you fail to understand is that SI is HARD to stop! I SI, I have since I was 12. It is how I cope because this is the only coping mechanism left to me. I am in therapy and it is working, but therapy isn't the answer. It takes work and time, and you Jenny need to realize that asking me to stop SI'ind is like asking you to be intelligent and informed.

[mallory36]

I self injure and am trying to stop it's a bitch, truthfully I don't think any one can understand what's it's like or why someone would SI or SH they can try but not completly understand ya' know?

[MGthemes]

i think its sick to bring others in on your problems, like you want people to feel sorry for you, think what your doing to your friends. If they care about you enough to call suicide hotline, i think that says something. Cutting yourself solves nothing. The only thing it really does is attract attention. You need a psychologist. You have a problem. I think cutting is just a side effect of another problem you have. Get Help.

[mallory36]

yeah it's a problem and an addiction but sometimes you need someone to help you tough out some of the shit you're going through and you just can't do it on your own

[xsullengirlx]

I definitely agree with you, cutting doesn't solve anything, its a horrid thing to do to yourself, and it's a psychological problem. anyone who cuts themselves needs professional help, immediately. cutting is only a part of the bigger issue, you are exactly right. I don't want attention and I don't want pity, but everything else you said was spot on.

[nightwalker41191]

this video is really good and i can identify with alot of what you say. Thank you for helping me feel less alone. =)

[xsullengirlx]

thanks for watching, and you are very welcome. :)

[ElegantMiyavizm]

<3 this vid you're amazing, I went throught the comments to see if anyone said anything but they didn't what is the name of the song at the begining? ^^

[xsullengirlx]

it's called "bleed by me" by trapt. :D thank you for the commment, xo!

[monkeywrench890]

i like this video because i can relate to what you say.

in the uk statistics show 49% of all self injurers will successfully comit suicide.

while 71% will attempt but fail.

[vampiregoddess123]

For me self-injury is an addiction and it has been with me since i was 11 years old. I have never been suicidal. I am very annoyed when people are talking to some kid who dresses a certin way or listens to a certin music and says "oh you must be emo you must cut yourself." Who knows that kid could be a perfectly well kid. Self-injury is a addiction, it is a illness, But it is not a fad or something that makes you cool. I admire you for posting this, You are goregous and brave.

[nymphoqueen]

Hey, thanks for explaining to people about cutting and things, or at least trying to thats really brave of you, i wish people wernt so stupid and ignorent and could understand us it pisses me off really badly. i dont usually comment vids and stuff but i just had to say thanks you know =)

ugh,i REALLY hate emos, they turned depression into a fucking joke, no wonder people give us a hard time ><

anyway sorry um just saying thanks and ill be on my way now =)

[xsullengirlx]

don't be sorry, thank you very much for commenting. it means a lot to me that people are watching and agreeing with what i have to say. it really is a shame that emos and other people have given self injury and depression such a stigma. i hope some day that we can break those stereotypes. Take care! xo

[Lee3nn12]

amen

[janepak]

Amen. I always see comments about "oh, youre just trying to be emo" when its a way to cope. not exactly super healthy, but its a way. ignore those people, they obviously have no idea what they're talking about.

[DeathsDarkAngel07]

Hey hun! I just wanted to tell u that I think u are very brave for makeing these videos about si I dont know if I could ever do something like that, and I tottaly agree with you about ppl who si we are not sucidal we just are in alot of pain and its a way for us to cope with, we are so miss understude in so many ways and I think it needs to come to a stop, I admire u for all that u have done and I hope u keep makeing your videos it has help me alot well tc and stay safe! Xxxx

[candy360babe]

dont care of poeple with no empathy....just care about poeple like me who understand you and hope you health and hapiness...im sure your strong...your serious about this subject!!! i like your video so keep going in this way for poeple who need to listen this for understand what is self-injury(sorry for my poor english)

[oldermaleanamia]

I would love to get a copy of your memoirs when they are published!!!ok?

<3

[DarkAngel565]

Oh, and I forgot to ask this in my last comment, but what video did you show your scars in? I can't seem to find it. Have you taken it down since? Please reply. Thanks.

[xsullengirlx]

type the w w w dot u tube dot com slash in front of THIS watch?v=JnZjaBjY6SU#GU5U2spHI_­4 (sorry, but they wont let me paste a URL)

[DarkAngel565]

That's fine. Thank you very much. You're an amazing person =)

[DarkAngel565]

I just wanted to say that you are a very brave, caring person to take time out of your own life to make such touching videos like this. I completely agree and understand where you are coming from. But don't let the haters get to you. Don't even bother replying. That's where they get their satisfaction from. The people leaving mean comments have absolutely no guts, lives, or compassion for other people.

[xsullengirlx]

Thank you for your comment, people like you are the reason i still make videos... i try not to reply to the haters, but sometimes my temper gets the best of me, and i do it anyway. they don't necessarily bother me, it's just a waste of my time to keep getting comments from them. i dont see what the big deal is with me and my videos.

[DarkAngel565]

No problem ^_^. I get what your saying. Sometimes the things people say really get to me as well and I just can't help but to say something. But usually, when I do that, I'm giving them exactly what they want. A pissed off reaction. Oh well, it's just the Internet. Their words dont mean anything anyway. Thanks for replying.

[FatgirlFinder]

When you eat so much cake, does it come out of the places that you cut?

Do you consider overeating to the point of health hazard to be self injury? I do. You're doing a good job at your hobby.

If you're going to cut, why not cut some fat out?

[xsullengirlx]

lol you're obsessive.

and yes, i bleed cake. would you like a taste?

[xmphx]

hi this mite b a late reply but u need to get a life, isnt it better that shes not afraid to be big and beautiful rather than anorexic and scared? i think so

[xsullengirlx]

stalker. you're reported. now, how many accounts do you have here on youtube? i am quite curious to see how far you will take this. you need to stop being obsessive over me, because it's really not becoming. Oh, and I am most definitely better than anything you'll ever get your diseased shrivled penis inside... so stop trying to charm me.

[xsullengirlx]

lol i'm a black, fat, hippie witch? how in the hell does that make sense? and you call ME the moron? I see that you have another "troll" account, I could tell by your shitty taste in music.

[trollasaurus]

Whenever I think I have it bad, I just need to look at this vid and be thankful that I was blessed with a rock solid constitution. We don't have any weirdos that hack at themselves with razors in my family? Does this crazy shit run in your family?

[fuckmeisterrockslave]

No offence but no wonder you're sullen listenin to that Metal dirge does that express how u feel or does it give u that bad facade

[xsullengirlx]

haha no offense? none taken, you ignorant asshole. learn to speak proper english before you message me and try to stick me with a label that i don't deserve.

[xsullengirlx]

Rancid, AFI, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, the Damned, Nirvana, Twisted Sister.... EXCUSE ME, who is in the position to be judging WHOM on musical tastes here? these were taken off your profile. Get a life and find a new hobby.

[minelyl]

ALL true

thankyou for taking your time to make this video :]

[HollyoaksInTheCity06]

thankyou for posting this video hun x

[xsullengirlx]

thank you for watching :)

[thecrowing89]

:o

Come play hopscotch with me!

[thecrowing89]

you're super pretty

[xsullengirlx]

you're super sweet :)

[6gording6]

Self injury seems like the way for you to release pain.Sadly there is a better way which you might dismiss because its to loving that it seems unreal.Selfinjury is suicide to the spirit.

[klobbs]

i posted a comment on one of your other videos..uhhh yeaaaa..so what is your name..i would give you my email adress so i can find out how to get near you but you might turn me down so i wont..but uhhh..your hot

[lkhowprettysheis]

SI=addiction, for me anyways. thanks for making this video.

[ThisIsDonnaHaHa]

Your So Beautiful and so brave :) i do self harm and am not proud and i dnt like how self harmers get classed as attention seekers.. i never done it to get attention either..i jst wanted to let u no i think ur an inspiration to kids like me as u felt the same things..ur beauiful and ur hair is fantansic!! bt thankyou :)

[Ophelia9184]

You're my hero. Screw all these idiots that don't give a damn enough to know what they're talking about. I admire your courage.

[chickenbloo]

i like your necklace =)

[xsullengirlx]

thank you, i spent forever trying to find one like it, i love it. :)

[Znick9]

LOL EMO!!!! LOL

[xsullengirlx]

lol stfu.

[robertm1204]

get a job, and stop with the stupid videos.your my space page sux, your you tube sux, you suck, put a bag over your head and tie it tight....i bet you wont be missed. you want everybody to feel so bad for you,i cut myself if things dont go my way...get a job and this bad old world wouldnt seem so bad. holla back stupid

[valpuq]

you, robertm1204, are a fucking moron... mabey YOU should get a job rather than looking up "self injury" under youtube just to put people down. Are you that bored and fucking pathetic?

[xsullengirlx]

well said! not to mention, i have a job now so he can seriously fuck off. thank you for sticking up for me... people are pathetic. if they don't want to watch videos on self injury, maybe they shouldn't search for it on youtube. lol. ;) take care.

[robertm1204]

hey i have an idea,stop with the bullshit and slit your throat!

[xsullengirlx]

i have an idea, stfu. stop looking for videos about self injury if you are so close minded. if you would have watched the video you would have noticed that this video is NOT about suicide, its about how self injury is NOT about death... you MORON, so your comment is irrelevant. take your own advice.

[tsalaghi]

Funny, I view alcoholism, drug use, & anorexia as forms of slow suicide, but not self harm. As a child I pulled out my hair, & now I pick at my skin but nothing worse. I, however, am depressed & have chronic suicidal thoughts. Self harm seems like a way to lessen emotional pain by overiding it with physical pain.The emotional pain can be far worse.

[purpleshortie]

i think its great what you've done...and how open you are...i could never be that open...i hate when people make fun of "emos" ...they don't even realize that i'm hurting right in front of me

[daniel1982]

I've noticed that most cutters share the same fashion... Uh oh, busted!

[xsullengirlx]

um, okay...?

[VIRUS2SOCIETY]

Wtf just more emo shit. Dont even try to come off as trying to makev a real point, just a reason to show your fucking scars, your fucking proud of it.

[xsullengirlx]

lol get a life. i didn't show my scars and i'm not emo, you fucking asshole. i did make a real point, but you are too ignorant to understand. oh well, your loss. why do you go searching for self injury online anyway? grow the fuck up, ignorant child.

[xpsychidelicatex]

thank you, i hate people that just dont get it.you made me feel less alone,me and you are a lot alike..do you have myspace, because i would love to be your friend>>you can find me by looking up Rain Johnson..i have red hair..if tha helps any..okay bye!

It really is odd when people come to my videos and leave comments like that... It is true ignorance, and I pity someone so closeminded and judgemental. Thanks for letting virus2society know that THEY are the real problem here.

Hiu xsullengirlx,

I get very angry with such destructive comments like those made by virus2society and others here. I wish you well in your continued recovery.

Well said hun. I think that the more people that become aware about self injury they'll then hopefully treat it as any other disease and mental illness. Great video, as always you make the best =]

I hope this video can be seen by many people - self-injurers or their loved ones. Great job!

My friend said it this way: There are a lot of misconceptions, and a lot of public attention on self-injury now. But all that the public knows IS the misconceptions.

Thank you for making this video. I hope someday people will understand us in the way they do other disorders and addictions.

Good video! I am glad you put that out there...it needed to be..I added you as a friend but you havent accepted! I am looking to get a webcam soon so that I can start posting!

Excellent vid! Very true and honest :)

[xsullengirlx]

sorry this video cuts off! the end just said that basically, self injury IS a mental disease, and people DO have to go through a long recovery process to beat it, but it can be done. I hope my videos can show people out there that Self-Injurers aren't crazy or alone.
