This video may be hard to watch to some self harmers, I cried watching it, but I think it may help me in a way to stop cutting. So here it is:

-------
Right now you are the youngest you will ever be,
and the oldest you have ever been.

I've meet some serious self harmer's, the nicest people you will ever meet. It's shocking how something can take over someones life.

-------
Do you masturbate angrily?
Furiously.

---

I don't agree with the "teenage girl" thing although there are a lot of people who do it for attention, allot.

Yep, I didn't mean the teenage girl part in a bad way, it's just alot of people think thats all who does it and scratches themselves now and again. But it's far worse than that.

omg..that is nasty

---

Indeed, it's what it's really like. Not enough people realise that.

that was a sad video.
it makes me want to cut though.

---

Please don't. =( You should use it to make you stronger and to help you to stop. I still self harm, but watching that just makes me realise what I am doing to myself.

Yeah I totally know what you mean, a girl I know said she did it with a shard of metal, even with close examine you could hardly see the scratch and although I'm not condoning it, it's a little pathetic.

But my best friend who has only recently recovered from OCD went through a stage of self harm and he had 8 inch scars down his arm, several inches thick. Some got infected and turn black.

There is such a contrast really, It is so incredibly sad.

Yeah, it's sad. And very annoying and frustrating for serious cutters when people talk about those who self harm as "attention seekers" or "pathetic" And I think that video really does open your eyes up and makes everyone realise that it's not pathetic, or weak, or anything else. It's serious.

And I just love how none of the silly "omggz, don't cut, thats like totally stupid, your really stupid for doing that" people aren't posting here. Cause they know they don't have a valid argument.

Yeah I had noticed that too, I just hate the people who actually brand them-selves as self-harmers for no-reason. Apart from the obvious, alot of people who cut don't even see it as self harm they see it as normal.

My girlfriend previously self-harmed and she didn't even realize she was doing it, she was cutting things like "think thin" into her legs, a part of her eating disorder unfortunately.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I started self harming through hitting myself or punching things when I was about 8. And then over a year ago started scratching my arms, never really realised I did it...but it has lead to cutting. It's definitely not as bad as in the video but still bad. I just get scared sometimes that if I won't be able to stop it may get just as bad as that. =/
