  • you CAN wear short sleeves!

    you don´t have to explain or justify yourself, it is a part of you. my arms are pretty scarred and i also struggle with it, but my therapist encourages me over and over again.

    finally, you´ve got the same right to enjoy the warmth of the sun as enyone else!

    my best wishes to you!

  • luffagirls comment really pissed me off, and i think you are an amzaing girl and stay strong :)

  • I was goingto comment on the video where you showed your scars but it looked like comments were disabled? Anyways I really admire you for just making it through and then sharing your experience with others to help us out. So thank you.

  • You just need some counselings. Trust me :)

  • @Junya378 Yea I agree with you. Counseling has helped me so much and im so glad that im on the way to become one myself :)

  • @zjmcr Glad to hear that. Wish you all the best :)))

  • @Junya378 Thank you :)) xoxo

  • @luffagurl

    No offence, but you do not know me so why jump to conclusions? Truly I am sorry for your mum and brother, but you are rude to assume all I am "bitching" about is petty shit. You are calling me attention seeking just because I feel the need to talk about the "taboo" and try and help others? Pfft okay.

  • @luffagurl so wait arent u being pathetic by bringing UR shit into it? yes? shes trying to help

  • you stupid people you don't see this girl need help and he need to talk whit someone about her soul about her suffer

  • youur amazing, i love your video's, they help me alot considering i self harm too.

  • i love you dude... i LOVE you! u=epic win!

  • Again, a good video about self-harm. If only all self-harmers posted video's like this (and presented in public like this as well, I'd imagine) maybe the stigma of attention-seeking would disappear or at the very least more new-cutters or depressed people would not continue/start.

    Keep it up, I really think you can help someone out there. Among the masses of harmful self-harm videos that pose as 'helpful' there NEEDS to be ones that counter it like this one.

  • Ahh mate you won't get far in life with that attitude.

  • @thatsbetter how are you now? I hope your doing well :)

  • aww leave her alone, at least she has the courage to say how she feels! x

  • and you are an stupid idiot!

  • Thankyou for posting this, i think your amazingly brave and i hope that one day you will find the strength to stop, i have a friend that is self harming and im trying to understand, this video helped, thankyou XXX

  • :P my mate started and she only told me so im not supposed to tell but she has got betta after seein your vid and she sed thnx 4 posting it it realy helped her x

    ((( hugs back )))

  • please dont harm yourself any more please this video made me cry i realy feel sooo sorry for youuu so please stop ?

  • it's ok hun, I will get there eventually :)

    We all have bad days, and some bad days are worse than others, but I am not giving up hope.

    And please don't cry (((hugs)))

  • Its weird the way things happen. I have a mum who is severely depressed. I never wanted to turn out like her. But because of the way she was, I myself became depressed. Like you said your mum was an alcoholic and you turned to drink at one point.

    *hug* why does that happen? I really want to know

  • Reading books, expanding knowledge, and absorbing everything you see and applying it to better yourself are all things you can do to not harm yourself. Don't take everything so personal and gain a sense of humor that surpasses everyone else are things that help too!

  • Nice accent (A)

    well I totaly agree with you

    today I'm gonna tell my classmates that I self-harm, and my PEteacher too. Long story, probably very uninterresting for y'all but I just don't really have a choise but to tell them

    okay well thnx for the video ^^

  • Seriously, what kind of question is that?

  • I think your very brave talking about your experience with self harm. I think it's good you speak out because it warns people of the affects self harm can have on your life. It also sheds a light for people who maybe have a friend or relative self-harming and I think your videos are very good and informative. Keep it up and know that you're doing a good thing for the world by posting these :)

  • take mdma, it was used in therapy in 1930-1960 and known for curing depression, social anxiety, suicidals and much more. its the strongest anti-depressant known, and it must be used medicaly again. many therapists are working to make it legal in medical use. the only reason its illegal is because of the explosion of unmedical use of it in 1970, and the only way the goverment could stop it was making it illegal and makin propaganda studys and shit. look up "ecstasy study is wrong" on google.

  • its unique effects that make you look inside yourself and see how you behave and react to the world, and see the good things in life, but never overdose or use it often, if you only want to get high on it you shold wait weeks beween every time, but using low dosage of it you could use it every day, splitting 150-200mg over 2-3 weeks. its not fysical addictive but have respect for it. the effects of it feels like love. only its love for everything in life.

  • I know about the drugs, but they are nothing compared to the feeling inside when you watch your own blood form ito the lines. This sounds disgusting but it's true.

  • have you ever been inlove? real love? that how mdma works, 10x pure love. its impossible to get more happy. you never know before you try it. its totaly diffrent from the shit you get from the therapist. cutting focus pain(it also release endorphins!), drugs removes pain.

    take care, remember depressions never last forever! im sure you're the happyest person on earth 5 years from now!

  • it was the love that started me cutting..

    And you probably work for some company trying to promote a faulty drug..

  • It is not wise to suggest people try to obtain ILLEGAL drugs and take them, are you stupid, or what? BTW, you cannot compare love to an artificial high.

  • That's good to hear =) actually makes me kinda happy

  • Your scars DO NOT define who you are. It just defines the struggle you faced and the way you decided to deal with it. And it isn't a bad thing either.

    I have an idea of what you are going through. I won't say I know because we live two separate lives but I started biting and hitting myself when I was around 7-8 years old and then moved on to cutting at fourteen as well. Don't regret it.. ever. And don't blame yourself. It's just the way we are and that's nothing to be ashamed of.

  • Thank you! I actually agree more with your statement now than I did then. I do realize my scars don't define me, and I don't actually regret the cutting, only cutting to the extent that I did.

  • I used to self harm by blowing hard objects in my head when I am depressed...

  • some people get off from cutting them self and putting u in a psyc ward isnt gonna help u just make it worse

  • This vid spoke to me.

    Thanks.

  • beautiful... i have been self harming for 3 and a half years now, i'm fifteen i've tried to stop so many times, but its really hard to stop, is the first thing you think about when something gets too much, its takes over your life, thank you for this vid, just hearing that you cant wear short sleeves ever again brought tears to my eyes...you're amazing and i hope someday you can wear short sleeves, its the least you deserve with all that you've been through, stay strong xxxxxxxx

  • Thank you :)

    These days, I wear short sleeves if I so wish. My scars show where I have been, and yes people stare, but it doesn't bother me anymore. I hope one day you will find the strength to stop hun xxx

    Sarah

  • I agree I dont think people understand about selfharming, I have only told one person about me doing it and I regret telling them because I dont think they understand. And anyone who says it for attention its really not, whenever I do it I cover them up.

  • aww darlin you look like your about to cry near the end :(

    xx

  • I am 33 by the way, so I am not a kid.

  • You r very beautiful...I am cutter, and No it is not for attention cause I hid it from everyone...EVERYONE. It feels good to control your pain,other then other people deciding that for you...sort of

  • thank you so much. you're a beautiful person.

  • Do you understand this? At all? If you wanna be prissy and stupid, go ahead. But saying things like that will get you killed one day. You're going to piss a lot of people off. Get a fucking clue. I can't believe you actualy had time in your glamorous life to post that comment. Die. And you will, miserably.

  • Oi!!

    bet you've never seen your reflection before!

    never have the opitunaty!!

    >:(

    I think you look lovely :)

    and your video's are very inspirational (in a good way) :)

    xxx

  • Hiya! am 14 i've self-harmed for 4 yrs now and i wish the first day i did it i didt no what or really why.. It's addictive and i hate it ! :( and i love this video becos everythin i want to saye and cant you have done that for me and for the people who want to experement with hurting them selves Dont! its not a fashion or Kool thing to do ... p.s luv ya babe stay stron x x x x

  • Thankyou, I completely agree, the people that dont even try to understand are the real problem. not the people who self harm.

  • I dont think its for attention.

    I just think u guys are retarded because u need to stay fucking strong instead of hurting yourself.

    Use the knives on others instead of urself ;)

  • stephen 349, ur retarded and if ur trying to be funny its not working

  • @R100ROSE

    No im not... id sooner use a knife to cut someone else for making me feel bad, than cut myself to make me feel good.

  • I agree 110% with everything that your saying... I understand, I SH everyday.

  • I agree with you. My scars are who i am. They are my story only i can intetrpret. Thank you for having the courage to post this video. Your very insightful and i agree with most of what you said. And to tell you the truth i never actually thought of myself self harming myself when i was younger.And now that i think about it, i used to take forks and just scratch with them until i drew blood.... so yea. Thank you again

  • Hi hun i understand i have SH an still do sometimes i get angry when ppl judge us for it

    :) btw ur rli pretty and dnt listen when ppl tell you other wise :)

    Lots of love vicki xx

  • thank you

  • I totally agree with you, hun.

    It has become a part of me,

    and it just hurts me even more

    to know that people understand

    so little.

    It hurts me.

    And I praise you for making this video.

    <3

    I love you.

  • What do you mean what do I want? I do not want anything.

  • yes u do want something, you want 2 b loved for who u are. and it will come my slasher friend, hey u have to be able 2 laugh at yourself dont u, that means me 2. stay strong xxxx

  • listen to me, plz. you said you dont know y you started SH, and then you said that you were depressed bcoz of your life at the time. its all to do with pain, your pain my pain. pain comes in all forms. so what is it that you want? plz tell me

  • I totally understand. I used to self mutilate and have not done it for a year now and i cant even imagine EVER doing it again!!!

  • Do you think you could like... tell me what to say to my mommy about my getting help to stop my cutting? I really wanna stop. :x

  • I don't understand self-mutilation, but I DO understand hurting. I have been diagnosed as being bipolar. I'm 52, and a female. I pray every day that my daughter, 12, will get help if she feels really bad.

    Believe me, the nurses in the States are just as horrible. And I agree, the Spammers on YouTube are the WORST on the web!

    Love and hugs to you, beautiful Sarah!

  • Thankyou so much.

    my lifes been turned up side down & its bee all over the place latley.

    & ive been thinking of self harming more.

    i got to the first stage of scratching but after your video. its made me wake up to relaity. thank you so much. youve helped me. and even saved me. I appreciate you. & i think your really brave for what you have been through. well done. Im glad ive stopped now. but you had a whole 7 years of it. im glad you got over it. and i Look up to you. Thank you so much. x

  • i agree but i dont cut MYSELF so i kinda wouldnt know but why cut urself its dumb just cry about it god made your body as best as he could dont abuse it

  • dannygurl, that comment was ignorant. saying that cutting is dumb could acctually make them feel worse.

  • ive been cutting for a year know. no one knows and im afriad watll happen if every one finds out. my cutt keep getting deeper and deeper. i barely talk to my friends any more and i get bullied alot. well nots so much now. my life is going to shit and i hate it.

  • you're really inspiring, i look up to you

  • Thank you, that means a lot to me.

    ~Sarah~ XXX

  • i started 2 self harm :( im only 14, ive been feelin so depressed lately because my mums died recently and now i just feel unloved. Everyone is rejecting me and sometimes i feel like running away but instead i take it out on my self but this video helped me understand alot, thank you.

  • dear eszeszuhb,

    i'm 14 too, and my mother died three years ago. i started selfharming when i was 13 or something. but i've stopped for a few months now and i can asure you, you will feel better if you stop how difficult it may seem.

    i've stopped because i wanted to be happy, i wanted to get a better life. and i realised that i would only be happy if i would stop.

    im sure that you'll find that strength in yourself to stop selfharming too! good luck!

    xxx

  • When you selfharm you are at your lowest point, but as Zippiej14 said you feel good when you stop. You overcome an addiction and it gives you a sense of pride.

    I'm also very sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother and I offer you my deepest regards. If you need to talk to anyone I am always here <3

  • Thankk you! you just made me cry :[

    Im only 14 and ive been self harming since 12 and you really inspired me to try to stop I love you! you really can save people :'[

  • cutting is affecting my social life. i tryed to stop but i gave in coz my bullying started again

  • You seem like such a sweet girl.

  • i agree ..... best wishes

  • Please look after yourself DJC

  • I didnt anderstand :'/ But now i do, :'/ ..<3 when i started cut myself:*(

  • I've been a cutter since I was 11 years old, It's a really hard thing to handle and a lot of people hold it in because of what people say about it.

    I agree there are some people who do it for attention, but a lot of us don't.

  • hope your happier now.... i have never cut but i used to work with children at my old school who did cut. they would confide in me, as they were too scared to tell teachers. i really hope you have all the joy and happiness you deserve after such a shitty start in life x

  • i really hate when ppl call me crazy....

  • Cutting did mess up my life. It took me out of the best relationshipe I ever had and stil cant get over it, my friends were keeping secrets from me, My frends would always worrie about me, and it would have gotten wors. Im sorry how u feel now. Im starting to make videos on how bad self-harm is to help others. I maneged to help one of my friends. Great video I think its very helpfull!

  • hey i knw how u feel and i hate it when ppl say its stupid and for attention but i knw u dnt do it for attention and i dnt either and im sure other ppl who hurt them selfs dont do it for attention and im reli glad u dnt hurt your self anymore and at the moment i am gettin help and i feel much happier now bye bye xx

  • you're right. they dont understand

  • i remember a line from an old poem i had written, "once harmed the devil is armed, you'll never be safe again" that line sums up the mindset i was in when i was selfharming

  • Heya like this vidio know what u mean by you start out with scratches and then you make scars that will be with you for life i self harm and i hate my scars they are fading and hopfuly i can stop but it has lowerd my self esteem so much i feel as though if i had never self harmed iw ould be a such mor confident person xx love me

  • I started and stopped with scratches

    I was very lucky

    I got help early

    Everyday I crave to cut myself

  • This is a very inspiring video.

    It has touched me very much.

    Im not a cutter and i could never

    imagine what youu have too go through. Just know that things cab get better. You are such a beautiful girl and don't let other people bring youu down.

  • Thank you XX

  • GET ANOTHER ADDICTION, other then cutting your selfs, yea sure life sucks ass but cutting your self, if you wanna feel better smoke pot im sorry but i dont see how cutting your self makes you feel better, cus your depressed you cut your self wtf get out of your house get sum FRIENDS other then ones that cut them selfs, hope you stop soon good luck to all of you, seriously!

  • yeah because smoking pot is such a great thing to do...Thanks but I do have friends, actually, and they don't cut themselves...

  • By the way, I don't cut myself anymore

  • Oh yeah

    Because friends grow on trees

    Because pots good for you

    Have you ever self harmed

    How do you know how it makes a person feel?

    Most selfharmers have freinds that dont

    So whats the point

  • selfharming releases the bodys own pain killer "drug" endorpines, mdma releases lots of endorphines in a much safer and painless way. + releasing serotonin that controls happyness. splitting 150-200mg over 2-4 weeks makes it harmless and a very good anti-depressant thats not fysical addictive. but show it respect cause its physical addictive, so walking around with lots of it in your pockets would not be wise cause its allways tempting to take some of it then. buy only 1-3 dosages each time.

  • i understand....and it sucks

  • i don't want help..i don't want to have to go to a psychiatrist again. i don't want to be looked at like some kind of freak again. i don't want people to whisper about me, think of me as that girl who tries to kill herself all the time.

    i don't know what to do. i just hate myself.

  • Hey, I know exactly what u mean. I started when I was 14 and Im now almost 20. Hard to believe u can start something that begins so small and not realise until well after its too late that u've done so much irreversible damage that'll be there forever. I doubt I'll ever really be ok with knowing I can only ever wear long sleeves. But I hope we're both able to come to terms with it someday soon and be free of it. You're very brave for being so open about it. Take care :)

  • I feel really sorry for what you have been through.

    Your video has really touched me.

    I havent harmed for a week and 4 days.

    Really Hard.

    I'm so happy that you are still here today telling this video.

    I hope you manage to find a good way to cope.

    I really wish you all the best.

    And Take care xx

    Im just a message away.xx

    Michelle xx

  • Thank you for your message, Michelle. I'm glad that I have effected at least someone. Hey, a week and 4 days is good, i cannot even go a week. Good luck with it. I am glad that there are caring people like yourself...
