REALLY helped.

Thanks!
You too thanks
for helping.

it feels like me. I’ve heard this before, read this stuff before but this song…wow, that’s what really got me. it hits home.

This was good
thx for sharing

Can anybody tell me why they chose the color orange to represent SI?
Orange is such an ugly color…

…What was red taken by?

Not as ugly as cancer, and at least it got yellow. Yellow’s an ok color.

I am/was a cutter haven’t done it in a little over a year now and I can tell you that this video is not ‘triggering’ at least not to the point where I would actually do it. the triggering videos are where they show people cutting, or the scratches, marks, cuts, blood etc.

May I ask you a few questions Anon?

Did you look at the video? If yes,
Did it help you in some way like more informed or create a desire
to stop this type of activity?

I’ve seen so many of these videos and seen myself in each and every one of them. But they don’t make me stop, they only make me feel sorry for all the other people who feel the same way or are just starting.

In a way, I hope it scares them into NOT continuing the behavior, but I know first hand, that no matter what that part of the brain knows, the moment the darkness comes, you don’t stop to think your not alone…

you don’t stop to think about how you’ll hide them

what you’ll explain to people to see

what will happen in the future

or if you might do something really bad.

You just want the PAIN to stop, to make things go away and take control, to feel something again.

It’s just something to keep stored in the back of your brain, to remember that everything you do has it’s price, that your not really alone.

Wow, that video is amazing.

Wow, that is pretty powerful stuff.

You know this video is triggering if you are trying to stop self injury. Up until the very end almost every other word is ‘cutting’. That’s productive.

Two weeks, a day without SI.

I have been a self harmer for nearly 7 years now, and my friend just told me she cut herself the other day, I am trying so hard to stop, because my arms and legs are such a mess and its hard hiding, it does change your entire lifestyle, but then i think im so scarred anyway whats the point?
But I was trying to explain to my friend what it is like to live with and why there are other options she should do before it takes over. Your video says everything I want to say to her. Thank you

man in y past i moved from my arm to my leg to hide it, then my whole left leg was covered in scars then i turned to the left then turned to the space under my short sleeves cut and burned my self as well any kind of mutilation i tried.

its all true the high feeling from the endorphins being release through pain, going to far, i also wasted shocks from the blood dripping to much made bloody pants

started to cut 10 or 20 marks at a time

i have stopped for a while tho i always seem to go back and stop i guess its better than continually doing it

lol i member that time i used a led pencil during class under my desk lol so far in collage my first year i havnt had any major episodes….gah this vid just made me more sad and self help vids usually dont bother me at all

it was a good idea to post that infopro

i thought i was completely free and started to help many others with what i learned tho again and again i realize were never competently cured we always are going to need a litte extra help message me if any of you want to get to know someone new
