I started crying at the part where it said the dont want to hurt their loved ones..because thats how i feel.i promised myself march 1st 2012 i would be more open about it...,,,
Why are we talking about SIGNS in the background that people may or may not have noticed?
From what I've experienced, self injury is a serious addiction that many people struggle with. You don't have to be emo or scene or goth to do it- that's just the stereotype. The person who created this vid made it for self injury awareness and not for haters to post stupid comments on. Thank you and goodnight.
My parents found out a few months ago when I tried to kill myself. I had cut hearts on my hands and wrist and " SORRY I'" on my leg when they found me in a small one person school bathroom. They sent me to a crazy place fo a week. I saw people kill themselves. I got groped by some crazy dude. My room ate tried to kill me. I got back now I cut 10 to 400 times a day all over my body. And I burn too. I also started inhalants. And hang in with a bad crowd. Thanks mom, u really helped me.
I cut since I was 8(4th grade) I'm almost 14 now(eighth grade) It wasn't really that bad just a scratch or two every few months when I needed to calm down.
oh yeah and before i go add this to yur list of whys... maybe people just want to do it, its their body no one can or should make them stop its who they are
Love this short but accurate video! In a month I will have my 6 year anniversary of stopping cutting, after 6 years of having it as the only comfort and escape I had. I would never tell anyone to stop but there are other ways to cope, to feel, to be okay. I eventually got frustrated with always hurting myself just because society/family is fucked. Now I focus that hurt/anger on political activism to try to change it so others don't keep going through this...Good luck everyone!
Think about it like a light. If they've been in the dark for so long, searching for the lightswitch, if they do find it, they don't want to turn it off. Could you just shut off all lights, be able to see to move forward? It's not something they *want* to do, it's something they feel they *need* to do.For me, it distracts me from things going on around me. It even gives me confidence.It's hard to understand, unless you've gone through it.If you haven't, try to understand before you say anything.
@LoveEmoFreaks have you thought of embedding this in an e-mail and sending it to those you want to know. or if it's close family get them to watch it while you are out of the room?
ive been cutting since i was about 10 or 11 and im now 16. it has taken over my life. ive been anorexic and bulemic. i now have to see a counsillar and i hate it. i somethimes think whats the point but i know how upset my mum would be if she found me lieing their dead. i wouldnt want me mum to go through that so i just cut and hide it from her.
im 14 and ive been cutting for two years. My mom found out that i cut and took me to the hospital. They make me take fucking anti depressants. it just makes me more sad. people at school call me emo and depresso and i come home every day. they are always like look at that emo he's so scary.please if you dont cut or even if you do stop. dont let it ruin your life like mine. its too late for me}:
@rexbowman1 you're 14 maybe 15 now, your life isnt ruined at all, you need someone who completely understands what your going through, think of all the good things in your life and just think to yourself, if I continue doing this I may lose them all. Inbox me, Im an ex cutter I should be able to help, plus Im like 16 so Im pretty much the same age.
I have been cutting for about 3 years now, i have tried to kill myself once, i got caught, one time i tried to stop, and all the people who knew...the "chavs" just took the piss...so i started again, i realised how hard it owuld be to stop after that, my mom booked me in for these support lessons, they really helped although i still cut it has helped me recover from it really well, i used to do around 40 cuts a week, now i do about 5 a week... thanks for the support guys xxx shauny
I've been cutting myself for 3 yrs. I'm only 15. It's hard. It's MY way of coping. Don't judge me, you don't know me at all. I'm pretty hooked to it. I'm not suicidal. I used to be though, i'll have to admit that. I tried to kill myself 4 times. I'm still learning to love myself. For anyone who knows someone who cuts themselves, reach out to them and don't just sit around and act like you don't care. It'll mean a lot more to them than you think.
maybe becuz people just dont get it before you judge think about it you could cause someone to kill themselves people who do this could have been raped or beaten by their parents and could have been judged all their lived and hate themselves and they cant take it out on anyone so they hurt themselves cuz they think they are not worth it we are still people just its our choice .. dont be so ignorant its fuckin sad what people have fuckin gone thru to get them to this position your luky
The day I first Si'd and 4 years on the day I last SI'd
Thankyou for this video, hopefully people will not get into the path we did. Now Heavy Metal is my escape.
For people looking for a new escape, try Machine Head - Trephination, or - The Deafening Silence. You can let out your feelings and I can relate to the lyrics. Give it a try if you want out.
Hope it goes well!! Good Luck to everyone trying to stop! I know its hard, but its so worth it in the end. you just need a good release. I try to a heavy metal gig every month, I feel so alive there its unbelievable =] Metal might not work for you, but you will find your release =] I can relate to the aggression, the brutality, often lyrics, etc. Metal is the most honest music I know. Bands to start on - bfmv, lamb of god, machine head, ill nino, slipknot, trivium and killswitch engage =]
I listen to most of those bands already Machine Head are new though, metal is just great and is a great anger release but my ipod aint loud enough. lol
lol, thought you were a beginner to metal as such. If you're looking for heavier stuff try Gojira, God Forbid, Despised Icon, All Shall Perish, Devil Driver, Divine Heresy, Bleeding Through, Children Of Bodom, In Flames, Heaven Shall Burn, Pantera and Shadows Fall...just a few lol =]
Are you 13? (your name says 96..1996?) I was 12 when I first SI'd glad you found this now, rather than where I am (of course you may have been younger starting) But yeah I know what you mean about the ipod thing
I've got pantera but need to check out the rest heard of some but never looked at their music, yes i am 13, did it not long ago, its not rly that bad tbh and im able to stop right now got myself a good reason.
Yeah, some of the others may take a while to get into, you may not even like. But fair enough, just suggestions. And well done for finding that thing to help stop you =] good luck with it in the future..and keep it metal =] \m/
thankyou btw yea cutting is a very hard thing to stop , ur vid is right ive self injured since i was five and have cut for 5 years , yea no meds , i love ur vid i just wished i wouldve watched it before i started
yh I was gonna ask the same thing. Sorry if I disappoint you reading. Still, so you're not dismayed that you took time to read this, Linkin Park has some excellent subtle self-harm music (the old stuff is better, although I wouldn't discount "Bleed it Out".)
god i hate cutting it leaves you with so many scars you did a good job on the vid i want to stop but i cant ive been cutting since i was 11 (now 13) i hate it but love it at the same time only one of my friends knows and she does it two she told some other people and they just told her to grow up and snap out of it so im not gonna do the same as her i will become suicidal over anything, so im not going to take that chance i (surprisingly) dont want to die i need help...
I want to THANK YOU for this video! Simple, short, great song, gets the point across, doesn't point fingers. Very educational. and VERY neccesary! thank you
The reason I tell no one now is because I know suicide is illegal in Aus but I have no idea about cutting. It may sound weird but the thought is with me everytime I reach over for something sharp. 'will the put me in a hospitai?' I'm worried that if I talk to any of my teachers they will tell my family. I dont want to hurt them. SIAD is a great idea, I only wish Australia had it.
yeah ive been cutting for 5 months and only one person knows and she cuts too. it kills me when i dont talk to her. like today i got angry at myself for being such a bad friend i wint to the bathroom and brook a peice of plastic into a sharp point and cut. yaeh my lifes getting worse too. all my friends seem to leave me every time i try to talk to them
im trying not to start, i dont want to be sent to a phsyci again they make you feel worse...just hoping nothing bad happens or that will push me to doing it for real
I am an emo, but i am what i want to be not anthing other, i dont care about what peeps think,i cut yes becouse my life is shit half my familie are dead or if that not the case then they are dieing,i say its rugby injurys
This video is spot on about peopel who self-injure. i cut myself and im not an emo,infact hate the whole trend,music ect. i am 20 years old and do it mostly to deal with depressive states. it gives me some relief.
Emo annoys me No offense. Im "emo" i even made my name about that as a joke. Because emo doesnt exist. It just means emotional...and sense everyone is sad happy angry whatever. I guess everyones emo. Ive been cutting since i was 12. im 16 now. Ive tried to kill myself twice Been put in a mental institution just recently. They put me on lithium My fourth medication ive tried. This one isnt working either. So. Does that mean i cant be helped? Because thats sure what it feels like
Thank you for posting this and raising awareness of it. I cut and burned for 15 years, stopped 8 years ago, and have been trying to help others stop on the internet for quite a while YOU CAN STOP CUTTING if I stopped, ANYONE CAN. there is HOPE.
ive been cutting since ive been 13 and i am almost 20 now, i did stop when i turned 18 but have recently started again. i am not ashamed of it any more, sometimes i want other people to see the cuts and help me but at other times im glad they dont. it is addicting but also a great release.
I know what you mean, i am 14 now i started when i was 13 but i'm so addicted.. Now i can't stop, but i realy want to. Everyone says that i have to find help but when they say that i getting more depressed..(sorry for my bad English i'm from Holland)
i'm 14, i've been selfharming for over a yr. theyre been like, gaps of a few months where i haven't but in those months i had to try really hard not to. it's really addictive. why do i do it? in the video it showed you a list of reasons, the way of coping for things, i basically do it for all those reasons and lot more i don't even know. i want to stop, i can't, and my parents are catching on. i fucking hate the fact people joke about this. dickfaces.
Im bulimic, I cut myself. If I did it for fucking attention I would have stopped along time ago I get notttttthing from anyone for doing this. I suffer from panic dissorder deppresion etc. I cant go to school any longer because of that shit. everyone who thanks there the shit... and make fun of people who are over wieght or who arent what is considerd hot well all I have to say is thanks for making my life a living hell. are you happy now you mean whores?
i know what ur saying. w/ all of the criticism we get u would think they think we want to self harm...they dont understand at all...at least w/ me only one of my friends know about my self harm.. all of my other friends would just think i'm im creepy.
no one truly understands unless they have experienced what you're going through... the first time i ever did it i did it on my amrs... my friends thought i wanted to kill myself so they gave me pieces of plastic and told me to kill myself... they dont understand and never will.. its just better if they dont know
hi great video. ive recently started telling people that i SI, im about to have counciling so i can find other coping methods, for those out there that SI there is hope at the end of the tunnel, u just need to make the first step
im happy that you are getting help,but please be open minded about it ok,cause when i started counciling it only got worse cause i didnt have to hide it and i wasnt really open minded about the coping methods so please try ^_^
Its good to see so many ex- self harmers posting with good feedback.
I cut from 7th to 10th grade, and have not cut now for about two years. This video is very well done, and explains alot in a very short ammount of time.
ok this isnt saying how to cut!! did you even watch it?? its trying to tell the ppl out there to understand it a bit more.you need to actually watch the video before posting
hmm, that video actually made me realize some of the reasons i cut. iv been cutting the past 5 years and i never really stopped to think what my reasons were, it just came naturally to me to let my emotions out like this.
Wow. I decided to google something like this because about 6 months ago i started cutting. I stopped after 4 months, life started getting better. Its tempting to do it again, i still have the blade but i have alot of self control. Last night my father saw my scars and i was surprised at his response. "Theres nothing we can do now. its you and its the past, we can not erase it but im glad you stopped" i understand telling some one is hard. I never did. but think about who your hurting.
i cut for about 3 years... through lots of friend support it has ben 9 months since i have cut and tomorrow i am actually going to counseling. im scared but glad to finally be getting some help. i encourage anyone who hasnt told someone to tell...
I struggle with SL for about 4 and half years now...i hate myself for it I wish i would have never started...plz anyone who is doing this plz don't!!!!
ugh.. i have struggled with SI for 3 yrs now. it sucks. i hate how ppl think its for attn, suicide, etc. this vid was great. i wish everyone would watch it.. oh, and thanks for no triggering images ;)
honestly i was really really nervouse to tell someone.. but in the end it made me feel soo much better, cause she was able to help me and she didnt judge me at all. It made my addiction alot easier to deal with cause i could just go to her.
it is very hard having to try to explain to my 8yr old little brother why sister has all these scars and is always sad hurting and alone he doesnt understand and i dont want to disapoint him like i did with my mother
I have not cut since late 2005...so I would class myself as an EX cutter :)
I think its great that there are videos like this for people to know they are not alone and for people who dont understand to know it is a REAL disease and not a cry for "attention"
informative video nice! no black angels, dark poetry, graphic images accompanied by dark poetry, tears, excessive dramatization and straight to the point and facts well done!
I used to cut but now i have stopped, i never even did it that bad but i still have these horrrible scars that wont go away but i wisdh they would!!
I stoped basicly for my Grandma-i love her but took her for granted, she died, And it made me feel awful. But i know for certain, my grandma would never want me to cut, I hope shes looking down on me now and is proud off me
this was a great movie, everything was so true. very good information, and I think it's great you really did something, to spread the awerness about SH. thanks :)
That was really great...it proves to all those idiots who stereotype people that self-injure that it's not because they want to be emo or whatever, it's that they're truly hurting inside.
Excellent video! Was sent to me by one of my YouTube friends. I'm currently making a series of videos on my YT channel, reading from the book A Bright Red Scream... Thanks for making this video. Suzie
I was looking online and I found out that I'm not the only person who uses paper clips...,

ive been cutting since ive been 13 and i am almost 20 now, i did stop when i turned 18 but have recently started again. i am not ashamed of it any more, sometimes i want other people to see the cuts and help me but at other times im glad they dont. it is addicting but also a great release.

I know what you mean, i am 14 now i started when i was 13 but i'm so addicted.. Now i can't stop, but i realy want to. Everyone says that i have to find help but when they say that i getting more depressed..(sorry for my bad English i'm from Holland)

cutting isnt emo,
being depressed isnt 'emo'
depression can effect anyone.
its a downwards spiral, its not an act.
it is a physical and mental illness.
i cut, but anyone who knows me wouldnt think so. i smile and cover it up,
i really hope we can all be happy soon.

you moron, if you know anything about cutting you'd realize it isn't emo.

no one truly understands unless they have experienced what you're going through... the first time i ever did it i did it on my amrs... my friends thought i wanted to kill myself so they gave me pieces of plastic and told me to kill myself... they dont understand and never will.. its just better if they dont know

Its good to see so many ex- self harmers posting with good feedback.
I cut from 7th to 10th grade, and have not cut now for about two years. This video is very well done, and explains alot in a very short ammount of time.
Great Job!

Dude, that is just wrong. Don't give cutters tips on how to cut more, give them tips to help them stop. What you said is just sick.

hmm, that video actually made me realize some of the reasons i cut. iv been cutting the past 5 years and i never really stopped to think what my reasons were, it just came naturally to me to let my emotions out like this.
armaduh 4 years ago
Wow. I decided to google something like this because about 6 months ago i started cutting. I stopped after 4 months, life started getting better. Its tempting to do it again, i still have the blade but i have alot of self control. Last night my father saw my scars and i was surprised at his response. "Theres nothing we can do now. its you and its the past, we can not erase it but im glad you stopped" i understand telling some one is hard. I never did. but think about who your hurting.

Fantastic video.
I haven't cut for quite a long time, but I would never call myself an ex-cutter. The allure of the blade is still there.
Hopefully videos like this will raise awareness of this and help people realize what is REALLY going on.

honestly i was really really nervouse to tell someone.. but in the end it made me feel soo much better, cause she was able to help me and she didnt judge me at all. It made my addiction alot easier to deal with cause i could just go to her.

I have not cut since late 2005...so I would class myself as an EX cutter :)
I think its great that there are videos like this for people to know they are not alone and for people who dont understand to know it is a REAL disease and not a cry for "attention"

I used to cut but now i have stopped, i never even did it that bad but i still have these horrrible scars that wont go away but i wisdh they would!!
I stoped basicly for my Grandma-i love her but took her for granted, she died, And it made me feel awful. But i know for certain, my grandma would never want me to cut, I hope shes looking down on me now and is proud off me
