Cut- The Truth About Self-Harm [Sarah's Story]

[beccarachael96]

My name is Rebecca and I am a self harmer. It feels good to say it. I'm sorry.

[mighehe]

Whats the songs called?

[cookiemonsta050997]

i actually feel like cutting right now badly...but i dont want to hurt my friends or bf on valentines day... this actually brought me to tears :(

[sungiant2000]

Tuba, I find this boring.

[TheSpRiNkLeSmOnKeY]

Suicide and self harm aren't the same thing, idiot.

You may think we cut because we want to die, but mostly it is because we desperately want to live.

[yogurltrizz]

@TheSpRiNkLeSmOnKeY I am aware of that. Although you seem to overlook the fact that many cases of self-harm can LEAD to people committing suicide. Maybe some do it for an adrenaline rush, or for "desperately wanting to live" but I did it because I found no joy in life except that. I had no desire for life.. I could care less. Maybe you'll think about that before trying to bash at others.

[FasStudio]

@yogurltrizz

Tests show that only 4% of people who self harm, are actually suicidal.

[yogurltrizz]

@FasStudio "Patients who deliberately harm themselves have a risk of suicide some 100 times greater than that of the general population." (Rethink.org)

[FasStudio]

@yogurltrizz

That is some false information you got there, son!

[jamiejeanbean]

Me&& my bf both cut but were trying to help each other out of it . He did it more recently , but he's been doing really good .

The other day he told me that the only reason he hasn't been cutting lately is because he wrote my name in sharpie in his hand(: I tried it , it actually works (':

[MyLifeNoLies]

[mrxcal123]

[mrxcal123]

[thenextelphaba]

Even when you do quit you could end up starting years later again. I started in 7th grade on my ankles. Im 20 now and have restarted on my arm.

[TheJoBrosOwnMyHeart]

I started cutting when I was 7 years old. :/ i stopped when I was 12, but due to recent events, I've started cutting again. I have tried to commit suicide twice in just this past year. I feel stuck, like I'm too far goine to stop. My family found otu and now I have to lie that I dont' do it anymore.. when the truth is, I do. Everyday. It keeps getting worse and worse. Does anyone have tips on covering up?

[Lorna111111]

whats this song called?

[sarah1oszter]

@Lorna111111 "Cut" Plumb

[ImSofieSoSmile]

i been cutting for a while.. i have no planning on stopping it helps me.. but i wish i had someone who understood by my side.. im absolutely alone..

[Klutz2015]

iv tryd this stuff didnt work for me, sometimes it even made me cut more. im not about to go into detail so dont ask me to. wrists arenn't the only place to cut ppl....:'(

[NineTails1133]

. im 12 and i started a few weeks ago and it spiraled out of control instantly, its all on my upper arms left and right and i cant stop, i think i might be bipolar or something because sometimes im really happy and i think im so stupid for that hahaha pfft i can stop! then a couple days later i cut again... please help me

[yogurltrizz]

@NineTails1133 You are still very little, you have your whole life ahead of you! one of my counselors once told me that each person has certain bumps in the roads of their lives..some get them at different points in their life others get them all at the same time. If you get them all at once you can be assured that the rest of your life will be a smooth road. Plus if you want the rainbow you gotta put up with the storm. If you need to talk add the healing on msn and I'll be available to talk.:)

[xPookieBear15]

What's this song called?

[yogurltrizz]

@xPookieBear15 which song? i put in a bunch of them.. song names are in the credits in the order which they are played in.

[yogurltrizz]

I dont like it when people use the word "Emo" to describe other people. It is SO ANNOYING. There is NO SUCH THING. Just because we are hurting inside and sometimes its just too much to hide it all inside doesn't mean we're emo. I remember when I was suffering from depression, the music on the radio pissed me off cuz it was too "happy sounding" so even my music changed. Depression brings onto you a whole new lifestyle.. but that doesn't mean you'd LIKE being labeled "emo"

[BrokenHearted288]

Im 14 Started cutting at 12 years old when i found my friends body hung in her room. I dont wear skirts shorts of short sleave shirts. My teachs have seen my scars my friends my mom doesnt care.. Im the only "EMO" in a sports school of mostly guys. 

[yogurltrizz]

@BrokenHearted288 I cant even imagine how hard that must have been for you, I am so sorry to hear that. There are better ways to vent than self harming though. I know the urge to cut yourself is very tempting but it doesn't always have to be that way. Stupid youtube word limit wont let me write a lot here so if you want you can add the healing on msn and I'll be available to talk there :)

[BrokenHearted288]

@yogurltrizz Thx :) Try not to cut i have to protect my lil sis> my mom drinks and sometimes gets violent. Shes the reason im still around that and i felling love with my bestfriend Jake he lost his brother to suicide . we are a lot alike but he lives 4,092 km away fromm me a 45 hour drive. I lost a old friend a week ago

[yogurltrizz]

@BrokenHearted288 That must be hard. I'm sorry to hear about Jake's brother and your friend. Jake needs you the most right now.. people don't seem to realize that just the mere presence of that one person in their life makes all the difference. The person who understands them and is always ready to listen and always has their back. Distance doesn't matter! whether its 1 mile or 1,000..thanks to technology. Here if you need me :)

[BrokenHearted288]

@yogurltrizz Thank you so much for your suporrt. Me and Jake are growing closer and closer i havent cut in three weeks :) and he has doent anythink sice he met me. We talk all the time he finally told me he finally told me he lovers me :)

[FallenAngels3792]

If anyone wants to talk about anything like this, I'm open to talk about it. I've never cut in my life, but I know what it feels like to want to. I dress somehow "emo" and a lot of people called me that. I understand it can hurt, and I'm 13, open to help people. No judging will be made either, I just wanna help . Message me if you want any :D

[yogurltrizz]

@FallenAngels3792 What you are doing is great :) Thank you for being so awesome!

[FallenAngels3792]

@yogurltrizz No problem :) I appreciate and understand what people are going through. I dont judge unless its for attention. I love listening to the stories, and when Im older I hope to help people in my professional career. I've thought about this before, but Im going to always try not to.

[legalizeweedkindagur]

im 12 and ive been cutting since i was 10 i went 3 months without cutting then my life went downhill. i have over 90 scars on my arms and legs=/

[mysoteria7]

I wrote a song about my friend that was cutting called Brea’s song. To see me perform it live copy or type (mason Bellamy Cedarville) in Youtube’s search window (I can’t post a link). THANKS!

~~PLEASE spread the word if you like it (Facebook, Twitter, ECT)! I want hurting kids to know their value and see it!~~ “YOU ARE A DIAMOND YOU’RE NO LONGER COAL”

[Ruelayisacow1996]

I started cutting in grade 6, it's been four year. till this day, I don't even know why I started, and I don't know why I won't stop.

there's no such thing as help.

[DementedAngelXX]

I started in grade 8 , been doing it for three years, becuz, I was assaulted.... And I hated myself, cuz I thought it was my fault it happened.... I cut my wrist and forearm and on my leg, well up thigh..... I do ...., I don't wat 2 do.....anymore :(

[yogurltrizz]

@DementedAngelXX omg. an assault is NEVER your fault! unless you stood in front of the person and said "ASSAULT ME!" (highly unlikely) it isnt your fault. instead of cutting you can let your anger out in a healthy way, join a martial arts class. if you want a good workout try kickboxing it burns A LOT of calories (random i know lol) but yeah. dont harm yourself even more. its not worth it. if u need to talk add me on msn (email in intro box)

[Staytrapin4life]

I say fuck what other people say i cut an i jus show my arms out i dont give who knows!

[TriciaPooh01]

@supermakeupgirl01 I'm 17 about to be 18 and I think I was depressed in middle school. I never got it check out or anything. I don't cut, I thought about it though. I'm severly araid of sharp objects... so that's why I don't cut myself. I'm kinda happier now, I still think I'm not pretty or smart enough.

[yogurltrizz]

@TriciaPooh01 you know God made everyone unique, and each and every creation of His is BEAUTIFUL. take nature for example. prettiness today (the one u see in magazines and tv) is FAKE. its surgeries and botox. plus inner beauty is the most important, and i am confident you have that in you already :) if you need to talk add the healing on msn. (:

[courtney1264]

i started cutting when i was in 7th grade i have been cutting for 3 yrs now and it all started when everyone around me was dying

[yogurltrizz]

@courtney1264 Courtney, the good ones always leave us first.. but that doesn't mean they are not there with you every second of the way. I'm sure they loved you very much and they are always watching over you! It probably hurts them to see you hurting. Put on a brave face for them.. i know you can do it and i know it will make them happy <3 If you need to talk more you can add the healing on msn. I'll be there to talk (:

[courtney1264]

@yogurltrizz thanks :)

[TheFlipedout]

@courtney1264 I started in 7th grade aswell, after my grandmother died, now im 17 and im trying to stop but... cant...

[courtney1264]

@TheFlipedout ya i have tried to stop so many times for my bf and family but i have learn the only way to stop is for my self and it's super hard cuz i feel like if i stop i will fall apart

[ImmaEvilMonkey]

@courtney1264 I'm in the 7th grade. TRUELY started a month ago. I now have a big-ish scab on my thigh that's still fleshy from last night. I cut so close together, that last night I just cut off some of my skin from my thigh. The spot where I cut is now black from all the dried blood. I don't bleed much. Only around 6% of all the blood in my body per day. Maybe more, maybe less. Idk, never really mesured it. I just know I don't bleed much, and it takes 40% of blood loss to die. I'm not close.

[courtney1264]

@ImmaEvilMonkey what made you start for me i started just to see wat it was then i stop then when i lost my best friend in the whole world and my grate grandma i got in to it more and i just started going deeper

[ImmaEvilMonkey]

@courtney1264 Nothing really. I just started. That's how it was to start, then I started realizing things, and continued. I started a year ago, then quite for5 months, then truely started a month ago. I really hope you get better :/

[courtney1264]

@ImmaEvilMonkey i am trying to get better i had a rough night and cut my left wrist and by my right knee and tommarow i start my recovery by going to consouling even though i don't like to go cuz they r paid to listen to u and most don't care but i hope that you get better you sound reallly nice

[ImmaEvilMonkey]

@courtney1264 I was a bit unsettled last night, and cut my right thigh again. I always cut in one tiny spot. I cut so much in that one spot that I don't actually feel the blade till I cut 3.5 mm deep, and it's only a little bit, so I moved my cutting spot a bit. I now cut around that little spot on my right thigh, and on my right hip. It's still bleeding, haha. I hate councilors too. I've never been to one, but I've been in their office once to get a lunch (forced). It seemed too happy.

[courtney1264]

@ImmaEvilMonkey whats your trigger (what makes u cut )

[ImmaEvilMonkey]

@courtney1264 I'll PM you that one.

[courtney1264]

@ImmaEvilMonkey ok i will be waiting



[ImmaEvilMonkey]

@courtney1264 You sound pretty nice yourself :)

[supermakeupgirl01]

(continued) that i cut. in january 2011 i starded cutting on my stomach. i had to have a surgery because my brother walked in on me cutting and i cut over my appendix. After a CAT scan they told me that my appendix was enflamed, thats why there was so much bleeding. now i cut on my upper arms and i cover scars with makeup.

[supermakeupgirl01]

HI im 12 and i cut i started in fifth grade when tons of boys told me i was a horrible person for taking the side of my best friend in a fight with her ex. i started on my legs becuase i always showed my arms in costumes for dance recitals. This year at dance competition one of my fellow dancers forgot her tights, and we went onstage with bare legs. My mother was not there to see all the scars on my legs from when i cut i told everyone that they were sctrathces from my cat. everyone found out

[xxmyundyienglovexx]

i just cutted love me on my arm :( ii just wanna be loved, thats all

[FuckingHell26]

mine was not even deep, but, it scared, the shallowest little cut, its funny because the word is REGRET, right on my thigh, its too low down, and i have to be careful every day, i hate it

[Crywolf37]

LOL sound switch :D

[fangirl0987]

i started self injury sense i was 11 i couldnt stop but the reason was that everything was worthless. life was not worth it i dont even know why i exist. i just lost my true love which is really sad. and well everyone hates me and i just cant stop know even though i get help i still cant stop my life is just worthless. no one loves me. im hated. no one really cares. its just not worth it

[yogurltrizz]

@fangirl0987 hey, i used to feel that way once too. but i once heard in a movie that at this age, everything feels like the end of the world..but it isnt. its just the beginning. one of my counselors once told me that everyone has rough patches in life, some get them all at the same time others get them at different times in their life. if u get them all at once u can be sure that the road that follows is gonna be a smooth one :) here if you need me <3

@fangirl0987 i lost a love to my best friend... i am still her best friend and i haven't started cutting... yet... so i don't know whats going to happen, wish me luck...

[yogurltrizz]

@BakBro1945 Please don't harm yourself hun. I know it might be hard for you but you are waay too special to cause yourself physical pain for a guy. I have done it, and I still have scars. Now I am over him but the scars are STILL there. I wish it wasn't because it will always be there to remind me of how I wasted my time over him when someone special is still out there for me. Everyone can see it now, including whichever guy I'm gonna get with in the future.. and he'll ask questions.=/

[BakBro1945]

@yogurltrizz kay, i'm starting to heal but my best friend betrayed me... i will never forget... she has hurt me in many ways, and the guy, i still love him, i will forgive... eventually, otherwise its torture for school :((

[yogurltrizz]

@BakBro1945 awww good luck. i know it will be difficult but im sure your strong enough to get through it :) here if you need me.
