The MAGICAL cure for Self Injury...

DOES NOT EXIST!
When are people going to realize that there's not a quick fix or a magical cure for self-harm? Everyone is different, and you can't put people who self-injure into one tiny box!

I think this is a good idea but not everyone has 8 mins to to get your point.

[xsullengirlx]

@HardeyLeone well then those people who can't spare 8 minutes can go elsewhere and find a video thats less. I cant say everything I need in less time. Lots of videos on YT are 10 mins, I am not going to rush myself if I have something to say and skip parts. Seems like 14,000 people have had time to watch 8 minutes. If you don't then good luck finding other, shorter videos.

@xsullengirlx I think you make a good point. My idea was that if you want FAME you need to work faster. If however you just want to 'help' others out then this is fine but I find most peoplel are in it for some kind of 'fame' heheh

So sad.

[xsullengirlx]

@HardeyLeone I could give a crap less about fame. Fame from what? Fame from mental illness? That would be pure exploitation and going against everything I stand for. I'm not some kind of sellout, I am just sharing my own experiences in whatever time it takes me, and maybe somewhere it can help someone. If it does, great! If not, I hope something else will. I'm not your average famewhore on youtube trying to gain subs by doing idiotic skits. This is my life.

We arnt allowed to wear anything on our arms and have to wash them thougrally, thanks for your help though, this is probably something I have to face up to at some point, it's been long enough and people had to find out at some point!

Thank you so much for your help

Today, you really are awesome!

Don't change! =D

[xsullengirlx]

Ah, well it seems there isn't really a way out of that one, then! All you can really do is hope that people are more focused on their baking and not your arms, sometimes we tend to think people will notice more than they do. If they do though, just don't let people get to you, you seem like a smart awesome person and that's not measured by scars on your arms. Take care and let me know how it goes. :)

for some people (like myself) the scars are part of the SI. I don't want my scars to go away..they define who I am, as warped as that sounds. They're part of me. They're a reminder. It's hard to explain.

Xsullengirlx...you are such a help to so many people:) all those people that flaunt their ignorance by saying this and that about the SI problem that so many people, without knowin how it feels, are STUPID . and IGNORANT

[CupcakeOfNinja]

@CandyCutter you seriously think that saying "don't do it" is going to help at all?! Personally, when people get mad, and tell me not to do it, it just makes me want to do it more.

Christie is trying to spread awareness of self injury, and she's trying to help people. She hasn't said ONCE in any of her 99 videos, that self injury is good, and that you should do it. And many people DO do it... I know at least three people i can list that i'm close with that do it.

Please stop being ignorant.

[CupcakeOfNinja]

@McJillion Maybe you should watch some of her other videos? Once you do, this will seem like a dumb question. :)

[McJillion]

do you self injure?

[HardeyLeone]

@xsullengirlx  Then I think you have done some great work.

Keep it up and never sell out. :-)

[sadeyes1111]

@foxportions92 Me too.

[ClythiaMystica]

i think your helping a lot of people open their eyes to self injury, i hope we can get better!!
