It is an addiction . I have had suicidal attempts , someone hooked me up to TWLOHA . im now addicted to this...Im not recoverd for 7 1/2 months , and havent even thoguht about it...I love my life.
i love the twloha idea <3 it's amazing; and helps everyone; we aren't here alone; every1 feels pain; i support it; and im wearing a twloha shirt rite now. i cut b4 bc ma ex used me, and made me lie 4 him n all ma frands went away , then some1 special b4 he died told me not 2 harm myself n dat i waz a gud person, so i realized if dat was his wish i shouldnt be upset ova a guy dat barely knew me, if some1 makes u cut they arent worth ur pain i wish i had more space 2 write more plz like if agree
December 14th was when I had my ultimatum about cutting.
If I had known about Renee, bless this girl's heart, or To Write Love On Her Arms, I think I could have been helped without all this harm done to myself. TWLOHA should be well known. We have American Idol videos that get 1m+ views, while these get maybe 300k at max. THLOHA saves people.
I celebrated two years of life yesterday. It is hard and it deffinetely got worse before it got better but I did it. I'm still here. I never would have imagined this a couple years ago.
I love the end of this video. Also I can't believe it's been so long since Casey passed. It's been almost 4 years for Renee and it's been 2 years since Casey passed. I just can't believe how long it's been.
I've been suffering from depression for years now...and I only found out two months ago. I thought it was all in my head. But, I found out that my mother had depression when I went to the doctors. I searched the internet and saw I had the same symtoms. It's hard because I get scared when I try to tell some one and mad when they answer. I dont want to , Which is why I'm afraid of my guidence counslers in the school. I've actually been through one or two things she has. It sucks,
Never be afraid to talk to people. I've suffered from depression since as long as I can remember. I've seen a counselor and honestly...if you find the right one, they help.
of all the people i know who suffer from depression, self harm or addiction none of then would ever advertise the fact by wearing a 'TWLOHA' shirt. it's a fad, like shutter shades and raybans, nikes and hi-tops. it's so pathetic that such an emotional issue has become part of a fashion craze. don't believe the hype because that's all it is and nothing else.
That's where you're wrong. I found TWLOHA without knowing about the fad. I myself went through depression and the group helped me. I wear a TWLOHA shirt so people will ask. I want people to know of this amazing program, especially my friends that had the same problems as Renee.
i've tried to kill myself twice, my left arm is scarred from wrist to elbow, i was sectioned in a psychiatric unit for three weeks after my second attempt. i hate it when people ask, it's nobody elses fucking business. of the friends i have who've been through this, i want them to know of an amazing psychiatrist that helped me through all that shit. my opinion isn't wrong. it's just something that you disagree with.
For the many people who buy TWLOHA shirts, and actually know the story behind, the reason for the organization, it means alot more. TWLOHA is a symbol of hope, love, that there is an alternative to depression and self-harm. My friends and i wear the clothing to promote this, and when people ask us why, or the reason behind it, we explain, we share the story. Love is the movement, but movements support.
Some of whom think depression is a trend, and others think it's a very serious matter. You're right, it's hard, and no one does have the right to know..
Its a movement to show God's love in everything. She was broken, at the lowest of lows, and because of a few guys sharing the love that has been given to them by God, it has completely turned her life around.
seriously you guys dont know how hard it is to get over depression. Depression can ruin your whole life. It's not a little thing that can go away really quickly it can stay with you forever if you dont try to help it, or get help. Depression makes an huge impact on people's lives. TWLOHA is something that has made an amazing impact to help people get over depression. And Depression isn't something people can get over with out help.
You are amazing :] Your proof that there is help for those that have a cutting problem and I am so proud that you have made it as far as you have <3 God bless you!

Well that's different. Drugs, alcohol and cigarettes can make you physically addicted. Cigarettes and alcohol have nicotine in them, an addictive substance, for example.
There's no real addiction in slitting wrists. It's just a pathetic attempt to look cool/ beseech attention.
it doesnt hurt, thats the point. So yes, it seems like it's the new fad, but its not. It may have become more known these days, but people back then just didnt know what it was. Nobody acknowledged it back then, but it did happen.
I can't change your mind, or your opinion,
all i'm going to do is politely ask that you don't write rude and offensive coments on these types of videos,
But one thing I do not believe you are taking in to accord when you say things like, "it did not happen back then", is the politics of past eras. Not too long ago, most did not know what to do with self-harmers. They where psychology's "untouchables". And so, most where thrown in institutions.
But this is no longer so.
So, what may seem like a sudden "influx" of self-harm, is really it no longer being hidden. Since I assure you it DID happen back then. :)
@Lollipopsaregood884 The world is a horrible place. Don't be ignorant. It is. Many people have so much hurt and hate put on them, and they can't escape it. They can only cut and release. People slit because it's like an escape, it's a release. Don't hate on them. If you were in their situation, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be hating.
@JessikahBby When I did it I did it on my arms. I did it there so anybody who wanted to see my ugly side could see it. I could of done it where it was easily concealed but I didn't. However, I didn't do it on my arms to get attention. However, I know now how much God loves me and how I'm not a failure so that's cool :)
physical addictions arent the only type of addiction. you can aslo get mentally addicted to stuff. and poeple dont do it for attention. most pleople who cut themselfs after they do are trying to find ways to hide. it. i understand you are just expressing your opinion. but the use a forcefull way to get them to stop isnt the way to do it. people who cut themselfs are allready hurt and all they are looking is for someone who can understand them, not judge them, help them, and love them.
SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO U AT 9:10 SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU OR TALK TO YOU ONLINE AND SAY I LOVE YOU OR ASK YOU OUT BUT HERES THE CATCH Send To 3 vids
whoever is saying its not an addiction, is so amazingly wrong. i know, I KNOW that i could stop if i wanted to. But the problem is, i dont want to. Its too hard to change. The problem with this is its so much a part of the culture.
Please, kids dont do it. Like, i read posts when i was thinking about it, before i started, and i didnt listen. But please, just dont start.
Its as much of an addiction as anything else in the world. And its just as hard to rid yourself of it.
I did think for some time that I had no other vice. Cutting was the only thing I could lose myself in. I know today that that is no where near the truth.
I have the best friends in the world. They're not even that many, but those five people have brought so much light into my life that the darkness is almost invisible. And it only took one girl with a story to help me see that.
Cuttin is just as addicting as cocaine or alcohol. its more of an internal addiction. its hard to deal with. these people suffer from a lot of dif things. its just really hard to fight. so ya its an addiction it overtakes your mind...
shut the fuck up. i still dont think its an addiction. and you can suck my balls if you think it is because YOU are the fucking retard. you should worry about REAL addictions like drugs. not some silly little child making slits on there wrists....go fuck yourself.
Of course you don't think its an addiction... You have obviously never done this or known what it is like. It is easy for outsiders to judge and say it's not that hard, and call it attention seeking or stupid. You have your opinion and I have mine. But don't you dare criticize what you know nothing about.
shes truly a strong, and amazing person, that has mde such a huge impact on teens 2day. tahatk you jamuie for helping her through thius. who knows how many have been saved because of you guyz
Renee, we all love you! Congratulations! You will make it. Thank You TWLOHA for doing such good in this world! You will be blessed throughout your years!
Changing and quiting is hard. But remember that you are not alone, and think of all the people your depression is getting to. So just find hope again because you are going to find light if you try.
my parents are always telling me "your not the little girl i know and love" and it hurts to think that they arent proud of me anymore, so it makes me think that people do care about me and it helps my thinking about cutting stop. i took a pencil one night and cut a heart on my skin, i thought i did it to look cool, but it was me feeling down, feeling that no one cares.
im so proud of you renee. you and TWLOHA is an inspiration to me and an inspiration to my friends. i have so many friends who suffer from depression and one who just attempted suicide. you guys are sending a very powerful message and it makes people strong. hope is a powerful thing that we sometimes forget.
Im proud to say its been allmost two years since I've cut. Its very hard not to cut...exspcaily since one of my best friends is stuggleing with cutting right now. It crosses my mind a lot. But I havent resorted back to cutting yet and I think I'm going to be strong enough not to resort to it again.
I wish I could have helped Nathan, my brother-in-law, who struggled with addiction, depression and loneliness. Unfortunately, he decided to end his life last night. He leaves behind him a loving wife and three beautiful boys. I hope TWLOHA continues helping people so that other people might be spared what our family is going through right now.
love u renee... you are a true inspirationa and helped me move on through my tough times... you and blake helped me move on and realize that even when we hurt ourselves and turn our back on god, he will always be there when we turn back around...
Renee, you are amazing. You are my true hero. Everyday I still think there is no way out and I'll be stuck sad and lonely forever, but you give me hope. Thank you so much. Thank you TWLOHA. Thank you everyone. Congratulations on 2 years.
renee you are honestly the strongest person i have ever heard about you taught me to look forward to everday and dont let the past effect you. thank you and i hope you share feb 24th with everyone you love for all time.
Your story and interviews and the realizations that ppl face 2day made me cry, congradulations on making it today, work for 2morow, and 4 the rest of your life...Good Luck!
Renee I still can't believe what you've gone through and pulled through. You are an inspiration to me and to everyone I know that has been depressed and felt like there was no way out. I admire your strength and determination.
And my opinion is that she's a girl that's been through a lot...some people juss are a tad weaker and need a more UMPH or push to keep them above the influence..she's strong enough to stop...And I give her tons and tons of kudos for her efforts and her actual 2 years of sobrierty.
Tommorow is TWLOHA Second Annual, and I will be writing love on my arms.
Thanks Renee for proving that people can actually stop.
what can i say "the dope feels good" but at some point if goes too far and you dont have the strength...you need a helping hand. you dont understand till you shoot heroin for half a year. so if someone has some shit to talk...shoot dope for a year then see how you see the world....and ya it is our own fault but it's only human nature to be an addict. everyone is addicted to something.
to ANYONE that says renee is weak, first off if she was, it is because she was beaten down and broken second, if she is, why hasnt she killed herself yet? o ya thats right its because she got help and made it, third, anyone who is with TWLOHA is a true angel, fourth, anyone who doubts this amazing and incredible organization can go to hell and fuck themselves. p.s. you dont have the slightest idea of the kind of pain she goes through, its immensely difficult to go from where she was to where she
First off you have no right to say these things. The way you say, "kill yourself" to them and these other vile things. Only shows that you wen't through it and are hurting, my heart just hurts for you more and more how you refuse to find help :[... I've been there and done it all, and I've been clean for 1 year, the only way I've been sober is from God's help, and that's what it comes down to, Jesus Christ...
If you bothered to do your research before you went saying this, you would know that yes, self-harm can be very addictive because it works for whoever's doing it. Self-harm is not just an emo thing. And whether it is or not, it as a major problem that needs to stop. TWLOHA aims to just keep people from hurting themselves, and not just in cutting--also in drug addiction. But of course, from your viewpoint, drugs aren't addicting, because they're "doing it of their own free will. "
I respect your opinion because you are entitled to it but I must say that cutting can be an addiction...anything can be an addiction..Jogging, MOUNTAIN FUCKING DEW, anything ya know. Your brain can be re-wired and it happens to millions of people everyday...this is a really positive thing and Its really not cool to bash it on here ya know...Why not just hold in your opinion when it can affect people negatively?
shut the fuck up, you obviously don't know what your talking about mkyker. you don't how how it feels everyday or in that moment. people may want to stop but they just can't or don'tknow how. so don't judge something if you don't know what your talking about.
I know exactly what I'm talking about. When I got out, I began to feel selfish every day because there were people all around me whose lives were far worse than mine who didn't complain and didn't cut; they deal with their own shit and so should we. Realizing other people have it worse than you works more on your life and character than years of therapy. When I looked at the lives of some of my friends, I quickly figured out that I am a VERY small fish in a VERY big pond.
I'm going to be coming up on a year free from cutting next month. A pig part of my success was because of TWLOHA :D

I suppose its all a matter of opinion.
But its been scientifically and medically proven that self-injury is an addiction just like any other.
Sure, some people may cut for attention,
but they are a minority.
Most people try and hide it, and dont flaunt it around looking for attention.
The few that do are making people believe that most people are like that.

Cuttin is just as addicting as cocaine or alcohol. its more of an internal addiction. its hard to deal with. these people suffer from a lot of dif things. its just really hard to fight. so ya its an addiction it overtakes your mind...

Of course you don't think its an addiction... You have obviously never done this or known what it is like. It is easy for outsiders to judge and say it's not that hard, and call it attention seeking or stupid. You have your opinion and I have mine. But don't you dare criticize what you know nothing about.

Changing and quiting is hard. But remember that you are not alone, and think of all the people your depression is getting to. So just find hope again because you are going to find light if you try.

vic1vicious 3 years ago
yah but Twilightxxchic is right.
my parents are always telling me "your not the little girl i know and love" and it hurts to think that they arent proud of me anymore, so it makes me think that people do care about me and it helps my thinking about cutting stop. i took a pencil one night and cut a heart on my skin, i thought i did it to look cool, but it was me feeling down, feeling that no one cares.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion.
And my opinion is that she's a girl that's been through a lot...some people juss are a tad weaker and need a more UMPH or push to keep them above the influence..she's strong enough to stop...And I give her tons and tons of kudos for her efforts and her actual 2 years of sobrierty.
Tommorow is TWLOHA Second Annual, and I will be writing love on my arms.
Thanks Renee for proving that people can actually stop.

what can i say "the dope feels good" but at some point if goes too far and you dont have the strength...you need a helping hand. you dont understand till you shoot heroin for half a year. so if someone has some shit to talk...shoot dope for a year then see how you see the world....and ya it is our own fault but it's only human nature to be an addict. everyone is addicted to something.
casualty178 3 years ago
to ANYONE that says renee is weak, first off if she was, it is because she was beaten down and broken second, if she is, why hasnt she killed herself yet? o ya thats right its because she got help and made it, third, anyone who is with TWLOHA is a true angel, fourth, anyone who doubts this amazing and incredible organization can go to hell and fuck themselves. p.s. you dont have the slightest idea of the kind of pain she goes through, its immensely difficult to go from where she was to where she

First off you have no right to say these things. The way you say, "kill yourself" to them and these other vile things. Only shows that you wen't through it and are hurting, my heart just hurts for you more and more how you refuse to find help :[... I've been there and done it all, and I've been clean for 1 year, the only way I've been sober is from God's help, and that's what it comes down to, Jesus Christ...

If you bothered to do your research before you went saying this, you would know that yes, self-harm can be very addictive because it works for whoever's doing it. Self-harm is not just an emo thing. And whether it is or not, it as a major problem that needs to stop. TWLOHA aims to just keep people from hurting themselves, and not just in cutting--also in drug addiction. But of course, from your viewpoint, drugs aren't addicting, because they're "doing it of their own free will. "

I respect your opinion because you are entitled to it but I must say that cutting can be an addiction...anything can be an addiction..Jogging, MOUNTAIN FUCKING DEW, anything ya know. Your brain can be re-wired and it happens to millions of people everyday...this is a really positive thing and Its really not cool to bash it on here ya know...Why not just hold in your opinion when it can affect people negatively?
AstroZombee87 3 years ago
shut the fuck up, you obviously don't know what your talking about mkyker. you don't how how it feels everyday or in that moment. people may want to stop but they just can't or don'tknow how. so don't judge something if you don't know what your talking about.
beemine698 3 years ago
I know exactly what I'm talking about. When I got out, I began to feel selfish every day because there were people all around me whose lives were far worse than mine who didn't complain and didn't cut; they deal with their own shit and so should we. Realizing other people have it worse than you works more on your life and character than years of therapy. When I looked at the lives of some of my friends, I quickly figured out that I am a VERY small fish in a VERY big pond.
