- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Understanding the impact of Bullying. Self harm works for short-term gratification, but it's not a healthy long-term solution for bullying or depression.

''Words can actually take some
ones life''
I'm actually nearly crying with joy at the fact that someone
finally reconizes this.
For me the problem with cutting is it stops working after a while and due to it causing a realise of dopamine, you have become addicted. It seems to me the more addicted I am the less it actually helps me.
It's a maladaptive, ego-syntonic coping strategy that has diminishing returns. The 1st time someone does it (assuming that the catalyst was a traumatic emotional/social experience or cumulative allostatic load) is much more reinforcing than the 10th time. This may lead to the addiction you referred to Dana Hattie - the cutter may continue the behavior even after there is significant depreciation of the (unhealthy) reward they previously received.
One friend explained the addiction component to me this way (paraphrasing): 'As long as I wipe up after I'm done, put neosporin on the cuts, and nurse them for a few days, then it's no different from someone who copes with alcohol and drinks water to fight their hangover.' Of course, the friend was comparing one maladaptive coping strategy with another maladaptive coping strategy, but that may be how some rationalize it.
I spoke with a clinical psychologist once after a local talk and she mentioned how she would wean her patients off of cutting rather than trying to end it immediately. In a sense, she treats it like an addiction in her practice & tries to gradually rehabilitate her clients towards healthier coping strategies. As long as they seem to appreciate being alive (or as cutters might say, mostly cutting across the street & not down the hall), then it should suffice to recalibrate the incentive & reward structures they employ when attempting to cope with emotional upheavals.
Jarryd Willis Interesting, I'm doing some research and that comment is a great summation... I've never sited a youtube comment in an essay but times i;m about to..
Thank you for the kind words Robert Grove - you're more than welcome to reference the video
Calm down please. He's saying "cutting" because he obviously worked about this kind of self harming, because it's the majority of self-harming so it's easier to study. He can't say "self-harmers" if he didn't research about all the kind of sh.
exactly!
I just wanted to say that you shouldn't refer to people as cutters or non cutters. the correct term to use is self-harmers. it's stereotypical to say 'cutters' , because there are so many different forms of self harm other than cutting
true
mary attarian thank you! I wish more people could understand that!
mary attarian You don't say cutter even if they cut

Twenty øne falløut bøys at my chemical discø Thank you I like yours too 👌💕
What an amazing human being you are sir
There are much better ways to deal with emotional turmoil than cutting but from my personal experience, self injury has relieved the “pressure” I feel in my head a few times. I think if I hadn’t self harmed I the past I would have killed myself. Self harmed in my teens and since I’ve started therpay in June, it’s come back with a vengeance. I feel awful I. My head sometimes (to the point of crisis) and a little cut just gives momentary release and ultimately keeps me here to see if tomorrow has something better to offer.
Oh my God there is a slide with a picture of Freddie and effy 😭
I've been self harming for 17 years. I was bullied at school and at home every single day.
I was bullied in high school and no one helped me. I was also in a "toxic" home environment. I decided to pursue Psychology as a major and am hoping to work with teenagers who are bullied to help them.
same here @lonely mouse
sorry :( i am being bullied a lot in school
Same but for me i have been self harming for 3 years.
0:59 ohh a picture from Skins.
Btw i just wanna say i'm tired of people in the comment saying "don't cut/harm yourself that's not the right way to get through difficult moments in your life, believe in yourself etc."
Wow you're really deep aren't you?
I mean i know they write that to help and to be supportive but...really? You really think that being such a fuckin clichè could help me? No one can help me but myself, i'm a monster that's what i learnt from life, and monsters fly alone, so if you have the illusion that your support can help a monster you have to grow up.
In addition to the comments below about refraining from the term"cutters" to be more inclusive to those individuals using other methods of self-harm, (i.e. self-harmers) I would also just advise to do away with those terms anyways. Replace it with "people who cut" "those who self harm" "individuals who are burning themselves" because people are SO MUCH MORE than their coping skills and reducing people to labels based on their attempts to SURVIVE is dehumanizing and offensive. Just my 2 cents.
It’s not dehumanizing, it’s descriptive.
This was common sense that needed to be back by science for us to care.
wait so you’re telling me that i can take tylenol when my depression flares up? cool
Lmfao brb then- bout to go take a whole bottle
Great talk! Thank you!
Self-harm is usually done without suicidal intentions, right?
Shreya Yes
No, not always. It sometimes is but very often its a coping mechanism, the person doesn't want to die, they just want the pain to go away for a while.
Yes
Hi. I know this is late but I work in the mental health community and I just wanted to say that this type of self harm is not done with suicidal intentions. This type of self harm is also known as non suicidal injury. It is not to end someone's life it is to help them stay alive by using this as a coping mechanism for emotional pain. I hope that helps explain your question and to also break that stigma. Thanks
emily houle hello! Thank you so much for also adding input into the situation that helps educate people. I am sorry to hear that this is something that you still battle. Please keep yourself safe and I wish you the best in the hopes of recovery one day. Please know that you can get better and you don't need to do that to yourself anymore. You are beautiful and strong. Good luck and I hope you get the help you need and deserve.
he kinda sounds stereotypical but i don't want to get into it. cutters is offensive. cutting isn't the only form of self harm. self harm includes scratching cutting burning bruising breaking bones ect.
cutters is not offensive. It's calling a spade a spade. There is not inherent judgment in calling someone a cutter, there's only judgment if you add it.
This crosses all ages.The more upset the deeper the cut.
Alguém assistindo??🌷🌚💙🌸💚

Please don't hurt yourself!
Imagine your great grandmother looking down on you from heaven, cheering you on❤😇
How women have never had greater opportunities, never had it so good. How dare you damage yourself after all the generations who helped you get to where you are today? Imagine her angel spirit whispering "Go forth young lady"
😘😘😘
Bold of you to assume we're all ladies?
