Truth of Self Harm take 2

Remade it finally!
And before people ask 'oh how do you know etc' I've been a self harmer for 7 years, now finally 'cured' and coping wtih life better now. I've been in places where people have suffered as well and slowly got myself better through therapy and medication.

To all those who are currently suffering - Please stay strong! If you're scared to ask for help, there are some very good helplines and forums for sufferers to speak to someone to help them. If at ANY point you feel that you're going to hurt yourself or possibly do worse, then please tell someone, whether it be a family member, friend or loved one. Also, if you do need someone to talk to, I'm always here, so feel free to send me a personal inbox and we can have a chinwag!

To the ignorant dickheads who feel obliged to post a malicious comment on here - please go drown in your own sorrows and leave people alone. People like you are honestly the worst people ever and don't deserve to live. You are disgusting and need to get a reality check because the whole world is not pink and roses and people do hurt. Pushing your ignorance onto people makes this worse, so think twice before doing the keyboard warrior shit.

To everyone else, thankyou for watching! I hope this video can help people who didn't understand before the reality as a self harmer and how difficult it can be.

im very confused i dont understand what you mean by cope with the problems. if people rather feel pain then why doesnt every one harm them selves not trying to offend i just want answers..

@lawlfunkynick The general feeling with a lot of self harmers is that said problems have overwhelmed them to a point of feeling numb. Everyone has problems of course, but when problems become a mental health problem, its not just one or 2 you can shrug off, it becomes your everything and people need to find a way to cope.

people who hate dont know what its like! tho heres a puzzling q for you. I know this is a stereo type but people like you and i who want or like to look... different or unique seem to have self harm issues more commonly than 'regular people" if i may say lol! do you thinks its because were teased about who we are or were searching for ourselves and want attention through our appearance? i know it depends on the person but i would like to hear your take on my thoughts

@koyico3613 If you can find it, look for a bbc3 documentary called 'Cut up kids'. The main people in it are normal common people who suffer from self harm.

I know a lot of modded people suffer from self harm, as some of it can be caused from teasing. But in turn its also that getting mods can help with suffering (changing yourself, the pain, the sensation, wanting to nurture something)

For me it was changing my appearence, the sensation of the needle and needing something new to take care of.

@SkullGirlXoxo7 Do you have years of mental health training? No. So please stop trying to diagnose people.

A lot of mental illness have very common traits and symptoms which can be confusing to people. Only a trained professional and a long assessment can diagnose someone.

@II2SIKLukeII Wow, you really think I'm going to take an insult from someone who spends all their time on a MMORPG?

People like YOU make me laugh annd possibly sick up in my mouth a little bit. Now get a life and grow up, you sad sad little boy.

Only one person knows I cut

[BrittanyDawnColvin]

TIP: ANYONE can self harm. Preps, emos, sluts, whores, nerds...I've seen it all. Everyone has issues but people self harm when they can't cope with something! That's why most people cut. Do some do it for attention? Of course! But people also wear shorts that show half their ass & alot of you don't complain about that. I am schizophrenic, bulimic, bipolar, and an ex cutter. I'm not an attention whore..I'm happy and confident.

@II2SIKLukeII How about I shove a couple of burning candles up your ass, you filthy, ignorant, ugly whore. 

[XgivemeasmilexX]

[Nadeemk46]

[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”

[sarahhatesyou94]

I agree.

And I'm happy to say that it's been 2 years, 7 months, and 17 days since my last suicide attempt.

I'm glad it's over and I'd be happy to be there for anyone going through the same thing. I hate to see people suffering alone with no one that understands that they can talk to. It's really sad seeing anyone like that.

Dude. I get all of this. 'Everyday is a struggle' is one of the things i always say when people asked me why I self harmed. it's been a year yet everyday still is a struggle. I admire you for taking back control, and I agree, fuck all the ignorant dicks. Self harmers are some of the strongest people. I'd like to see some of them take a blade to their own skin and see if they had the guts to do while feeling so depressed.
