Well it's a particular approach called harm reduction. If the person can't help it or isn't compliant, then at least minimze the risks of the behaviour
Breezy Poiised dude stfu you replied to every single comment talking about self harm and calling them idiots and morons. Stop being a fucking clown and stop talking about a sensitive subject and bashing people over the internet you dickhead.
Because the idea of someone finding out scares you, but if you really wanted to keep it hidden, you’d do it on your legs or chest where people won't see as easily.
This video is just so... unsettling. It feels more like a low-key horror video to creep someone out then a medical video about self harm. Just something abt it seems not right
I keep seeing comments like this. how is that weird? it makes total sense. there are infinite things someone can use to harm themselves. taking away the blades isn't going to anything aside from mildly inconvenience the self harmer. clean blades are more reliable due to familiarity and cleanliness. way less risk of infection than if they were to use say a rusty nail, or some broken glass off the ground, or biting themselves with unbrushed teeth. even a catscratch can render your blood septic which can be lethal in some cases. besides blades aren't exactly hard to find. they're like 97 cents a pack at any hardware store.
Sometimes it is the case. But rarely. It's more like a coping mechanism. It's actually sad to see and heard people trash talk about you just because you self harm
Sometimes it's a cry for help consciously or unconsciously while in other cases the person cutting may have just not picked a more hidden spot because that's often where its seen as most common on the internet I started on my arms before going to a more hidden spot it all just depends
You just proved that you know nothing about self harm. You cannot get rid of the blades completely because if that person wants to harm themselves they will find a way to do so. If you cannot change it better minimize the risk. And accepting them is definitely better than making them hide it.
It’s better than keeping dirty ones, like right now I’m trying to find a video on how to cut deeper but all the videos are a bunch of inspirational shit. It doesn’t make me want to stop and won’t make me stop.
PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS VIDEO AS A SOURCE OF INFORMATION. It is uninformed and the information is distorted and often incorrect. It gives you a wrong image of self harm. If you want to learn about self harm because a loved one is doing it, find a credible source, preferably a professional one (Kati Morton explains it clearly on her video's). If you are watching this because you are hurting yourself, please ignore it. Don't judge yourself based on an uninformed, slightly creepy video on the internet.
You see when I first saw this and clicked on it, I said “I’m no beginner” and than I watched it and I literally- Don’t listen to this no nurse would ever say “give her clean razor blades” they tell the school and than the school get involved an than your parents get involved and than a professional gets involved and this guy says a lot of bs. It’s not a cry for help, it is an addiction. Don’t listen to this video. Just don’t.
Thomas Mercure 1. Self harm isn’t a cry for help 2. Although clean razor blades could help stop infection, a nurse would definitely also recommend phycological treatment 3. Antidepressants work miracles for many people, and do absolutely nothing for others. It just depends on who you are. They aren’t bad or pointless. 4. Only a horrible therapist would turn away a patient because “they’re not asking you for help”
@@biscatee8332 then perhaps im immune to the positive effects of amtidepressants. All five times ive been on different antidepressant s at varying doses ive wanted to kill myself more than when i came off of them. Like you said, everyones different.
Ikr honestly I got this reaction from most of my family all the time to a point where my mother has practically had to force me into conversations about my well-being just to get help. But in all honesty doctors in real life don't act like that, remember you're there for a reason and they will do all they can to help you. Sure some doctors are jerks but most won't do anything even close to this.

Nice video but.... It rather trigger selfharm rather than helping. Besides, it gave me an idea to make the pain from cuts/wounds last longer: put salt on. Tysm for nothing...
if you put salt in your cuts you could get a serious infection and be admitted to a hospital, and a psych ward for the cutting. it’s not going to help.
@@breezypoiised5586 you seriously like judging other people who have a hard time on their lives and you saying they're idiots for doing self harm...

I don’t cut, but I scratch myself until I peel skin off, like a hangnail. It’s mostly after showers when I do it because it works better, then it hurts when I’ve dried up.
I don't cut because I process pain bad so I use a pair of scissors and go over the area twice on a good day and on bad days I use a staple and bend it and then I put in into my skin on weekdays I can't do the staple one because my mom is up till 12 and would notice my light on I've been doing this since I was 6 Idk if this even counts as self harm Also I hope you get help for your self harm!!!
No I fucking hate my life I don’t care I’m weak anyway I’ve punched myself in the jaw multiple times as hard as I can and it didn’t hurt I even knee cap myself in the face and it didn’t hurt
She's going to cut one way or another. Would you rather have her cut with sharp objects she finds outside or clean blades you know won't hurt her more than necessary?
Honestly I don’t know if I agree with this video. I am recovering from anorexia (and currently self harms) and during my time dealing with the disorder I went to a slew of therapists and psychiatrists. This psychiatrist, in particular, had a very similar view to this doctor in the video: if you don’t actually want help, then I can’t help you. I remember her asking me, “what do you want to work on?” Meaning, my eating disorder and possible depression. I told her, “I don’t know...” She pushed me for a bit asking, “Are you suuure there is nothing you want to work on??” And for the most part I didn’t really answer or just said I don’t know. At the end of our session she walked up to my parents and said, “since (my name) doesn’t seem to want any help I am going to spend the rest of our sessions together with only you two.” Honestly this was completely fine with me since I really did think there was nothing wrong with me. This went on for a while, my parents going to the sessions and me staying home. A few months after the decision that I would no longer attend the sessions, I had an end of school year doctors appointment the same day as my parents had a session with her. My parents had to cancel the session because they were with me at the hospital since my heart rate was soo low that I was in danger of getting an Arrhythmia and dying. This is why I don’t agree with that approach to patients with a mental health disorder. Sure, it might work for some patients, but for many of them it can actually cause more harm.
“Ain’t it Awful,” should be the title of this video. It is horrible and the person who made it is very unskilled in their profession if THIS is what they have to offer. So was the “professional” who gave you similar advice. I’m sorry you experienced that. There are fantastic clinicians and I hope you have found one. ♥️
I mean,if you don't want help,you can push everyone away. You have to express that you desire to fix things and constantly search for potential problems if you feel like there are any. You have to make some level of effort yourself instead of just passing all responsibility onto the professional when it comes to mental health.
People are mad at the nurse but at least she knows that taking away the blade is even more dangerous than them having the blade. more people need to know this
Sadly true. The only way I found worked was based on AA - just for this hour I will hold off cutting, just for this next hour / this day, etc. That and harm reduction. I haven’t cut in probably 25 years, though I still hurt myself in other ways when I’m triggered. Don’t end up having to be stitched back together now though!
I agree with most of what was said. Except 3 things - 1:17 I don't agree that antidepressants would make things worse. I think a lot of people might benefit from receving appropriate medication. I would have never been able to stop self harming if I wasn't on antidepressants. I think this is a message that shouldn't be promoted - 2:52 I don't see how saying to people that they're playing a game is gonna be helpful. Self harm isn't there for emotional manipulation, and I think this is a harmful idea - And last, I think that if you wait for the person to be ready to give up self harm 110%, you're gonna wait a loooong time. If they ask for help, give it, even if they aren't ready to completely stop yet
Selfharmerproblems at first antidepressants makes your condition worse I believe for 2 weeks then it gets better but if it doesn’t work thing go worse thats what i can say about my experience
What doctor *doesn't* recommend medication?!? " oh no you enjoy it so it won't work. " at least test her for depression. Then if she shows no signs of it then maybe do something else. Don't listen to this if you are looking for help. I REPEAT: * DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR HELP!*
It gives people ideas to do it Yeah rub salt in it Yeah just use a clean blade Yeah just let ou the fat THROW THEN GOD DAMN PINS BLADES ECT AWAY UR PERFECT 👌🏼
you say that like people wont know where to find or have the capacity to walk to the nearest hardware store and buy a pack of fresh razors with pocket change
Oh no, how'd I find this? It's 11:17 pm, I should be asleep, yet here I am, watching this. I'm beginning to regret life choices. Also, this video didn't help me at all, in fact, it just made me want to self-harm more than I already did.
@@dicjd107 I don’t have depression and I’m so sorry u have it and I’m not a therapist but maybe find something that u like that u know is not wrong I’m sorry if I offended you I’m just trying to help I’m sorry
@@dicjd107 hey. I hope you're doing better now. If not, I'm really sorry. But what the other person commented has a point. If you have a hobby, a passion, a person you love so dearly you'd never want to hurt them- focus on that and try to reduce the number of times you harm yourself. One day you'll be at a point where you won't have to harm yourself at all. Also, if you are in a position where you can take therapy, please do so. You won't regret it. Anyways, I hope you dont require this advice and are doing great in your life. Lots of love xx
I used to hold my arm in the steam of a kettle until I moved on to cutting. I haven't self harmed since I started writting my fears down and writing my own book to tell my story.
Dude, i get it if youre going for that extra sting but maybe next time instead of salt use rubbing alcohol. Might not sting as bad but at least it cleans the wound.
I don't know if anyone can relate but.. Self harm is just a part of a loop that starts with Self hatred I hated myself so much even if others loved me and as a result of that hatred I got so emotionally harmed and depressed I see that emotional pain as a punishment that my brain puts on me for hating myself Then when I try to keep myself emotionally stable and try to hold my emotions back in front of people just to appear strong or charismatic, My brain punishes me again for trying through making me crave self harm.. I don't harm myself to grap attention like this video says, I harm myself physically so that I can preserve my mental sanity to keep up with the daily challenges I'm very very very sorry if the way I wrote this paragraph bored you in any way and I'm sorry if I wasted your time, please don't share any negative replies on this comment for I'm just at the edge of suicide because of it.
To anyone who has seen this video, triggered by it, maybe even hurt yourself after or during it, I hope you're doing better now. I came across it when I was in a bad place and it was really triggering at the same time it didn't really phase me much because of how my negative mindset was then. Seeing it now, I see everything wrong with it and just wanted to say that you SHOULDN'T listen to this video. Although it's true that you can't help someone who doesn't want help, doesn't mean you should completely give up. Don't give up. Keep fighting. Just fucking fake it till you make it if you have to. But don't give up. I love you all. Have a good day.
@@lukamodric7 try exercising, drinking cold water, taking a cold shower, eating something spicy, or rubbing an eraser on your hand gently. Maybe even push a piece of velcro on your fingers I’m stuck in this addiction. I do it every day. Your life will fall apart. Please avoid it at all costs. What you do ultimately is your choice, but please try the methods I provided you with first. It may give you some hope
Please dont give children anything to harm themselves with but it's also important to not forcefully take away self harm objects try to convince the person to give them up willingly it's a much more powerful feeling knowing you gave up those objects willingly
Hiding objects won't change anything.You can literally self harm everywhere.You can't hide kitchen knives,pencil sharpeners,needles, scissors etc.(and Im just talking about cutting)Once a sharp piece fell out of my bed and I cut myself with it.I see your point but if a person is addicted which probably is the case,it might not be the best solution.
All self harmers cut for different reasons. I do it to cope with emotional distress. Like when I get angry or sad or confused. It feels like the pain absorbs the emotion, and looking at the old cuts help me too.
Considering this video is literally called SELF HARM FOR BEGINNERS this shouldn't be okay.. it's just so unsettling for the people that actually do self harm..
@@applef1uffy omg yes, this is serious and they cant just make fun of this like they are trying to catch attention, before i didnt wanna cut myself since it would hurt but then i gave up on life and started cutting, it actually made me feel better so i thought it would be therapy for depression, but it only lasted a small time, now i cant stop cutting and this makes me want to cut even more
Don't! Trust me, it is hard to stop once you start. You'll want to stop and then wish you had never started. It's better to get help for the issues themselves rather than hurting yourself like this. You get stuck with nasty scars that people tend to stare at, it can be hard but you should seek therapy if you feel the urge to hurt yourself in any way. 99% of the time, therapists aren't like this, there are some bad ones, obviously, but a good therapist would try to help you, and wouldn't treat you like this.
I mean i was looking up how to harm myself and got this and i just want to say no, i’m not doing it for attention. i’m trying to find a way to get rid of my sadness/anxiety and cutting can make you more powerful because you’re controlling your own body. it’s not a game, it’s a coping mechanism
I've actually tried this before, and it feels relaxing. I don't make myself bleed, but I use scissors to make visible scratches that usually stay for a bit. I'm an unlucky person and I can't get what I want, so I just hurt myself in secret. I wish I was someone else who was luckier and happier
Sssame, i dont cut too deep because im scared of anyone knowing so my cuts are only visible for bit then just disAppear iggg only the first scratch when i do it actually shows but its only a small scabbb uhm i hope you feel better though i genuinely care about you and think you deserve a better life c:
wanting attention when you cut your wrists and forearms? yeah that's why i almost got a heatstroke because I'm wearing thick hoodies in the middle of summer so people don't see
I was just feeling like I wanted to do self harm so I came here to see if it would help and now I just know what took to use to do the job right. Thanks a lot. Somebody help me
This is less about people who cut themselves to release emotional stress and more about people who do it to feel power or social attention. It isn’t inherently selfish but it is important to be honest with yourself when addressing why you harm yourself. It can become an addiction for the feeling of it, that’s what this video is talking about
It makes me upset that so many people think that cutting on your wrists and forearm is a cry for help it can be but 90% of the time it’s not bc I do it but I hide it I don’t want ppl to know so it’s honestly not a cry for help at this point
Unfortunately, the worst example tend to speak the loudest. I’ve had therapists that help. I’ve also had ones that make me feel like Im doing everything to myself. I suggest trying a session with a therapist with good reviews, and only continuing to see them if they make you feel like you’re getting better
Well, this video, instead of helping you stop cutting, makes you want to cut more and that triggrerrd everyone. However, it s called Self harm for beginners. This is not misinformation. Its made exactly what its meant for.
ok so i cut on my wrist but not bc of a cry for help nor attention bc i dont really wear short sleeves but bc it feels better than in my thighs and other places, do you guys have any recommendations of how it can hurt more instead of wrist because I don't want people to find them.
This is oddly... unsettling
Its scarier than most horror movies I've seen
I can't tell if it's genuine or not.
Its too emotionless

“Ain’t it Awful,” should be the title of this video. It is horrible and the person who made it is very unskilled in their profession if THIS is what they have to offer. So was the “professional” who gave you similar advice. I’m sorry you experienced that. There are fantastic clinicians and I hope you have found one. ♥️
I mean,if you don't want help,you can push everyone away. You have to express that you desire to fix things and constantly search for potential problems if you feel like there are any. You have to make some level of effort yourself instead of just passing all responsibility onto the professional when it comes to mental health.
this is such insane advice.
im starting to wonder if im insane cause it made perfect sense to me
"It is all your fault, cause you are enjoying it!" Reminds me of onion boy
he is right tho. u guys are idiots. hue hue ha ha.
@@adwadswadsda8458 Dude quit trying to act superior to other people.
@@Howitgoes799 why?
@@adwadswadsda8458 it makes ya look like you have a giant ego.
@@Howitgoes799 How is that a problem?
People are mad at the nurse but at least she knows that taking away the blade is even more dangerous than them having the blade. more people need to know this
Sadly true. The only way I found worked was based on AA - just for this hour I will hold off cutting, just for this next hour / this day, etc. That and harm reduction. I haven’t cut in probably 25 years, though I still hurt myself in other ways when I’m triggered. Don’t end up having to be stitched back together now though!
this is so scary for no reason. i searched for help and this video terrified me.
There's a deep feeling in the pit of my stomach that's not going away
This is so oddly creepy
This video is horrible. I hope you found a better video and are doing better.
Yup what I got from this video is I’m unfixable. Lol I was trying to get comfort not this.
I agree with most of what was said. Except 3 things
- 1:17 I don't agree that antidepressants would make things worse. I think a lot of people might benefit from receving appropriate medication. I would have never been able to stop self harming if I wasn't on antidepressants. I think this is a message that shouldn't be promoted
- 2:52 I don't see how saying to people that they're playing a game is gonna be helpful. Self harm isn't there for emotional manipulation, and I think this is a harmful idea
- And last, I think that if you wait for the person to be ready to give up self harm 110%, you're gonna wait a loooong time. If they ask for help, give it, even if they aren't ready to completely stop yet
Selfharmerproblems the medicine doesn't help I know it doesn't it doesn't do anything except numb how you feel
Miyah Blunt that's what inappropriate medication does
Thanks for putting it so well, o was trying to figure out why this video bugged me so much
I'm honestly surprised this guy is a "doctor"
Selfharmerproblems at first antidepressants makes your condition worse I believe for 2 weeks then it gets better but if it doesn’t work thing go worse thats what i can say about my experience
This is the scariest video I've ever seen before...
What doctor *doesn't* recommend medication?!? " oh no you enjoy it so it won't work. " at least test her for depression. Then if she shows no signs of it then maybe do something else. Don't listen to this if you are looking for help. I REPEAT: * DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR HELP!*
Actaully most medications for this have been proven to at best be ineffective others can make it worse
@@222sundae. I guess I need to get off them then huh? Even though they've done nothing to me.
Я хочу умереть anti depressants do sometimes make the situation worse
Omg I swear 2 days later the girl killed herself because of this man
What’s wrong with all of you people condemning this video? Jarring presentation aside what is being said is correct.
It gives people ideas to do it
Yeah rub salt in it
Yeah just use a clean blade
Yeah just let ou the fat
THROW THEN GOD DAMN PINS BLADES ECT AWAY UR PERFECT 👌🏼
Maybe don’t be an idiot and harm yourself at all..
@@breezypoiised5586 maybe you shouldn't call self harmers idiots because you do not know their life story.
@- MinSugaa i used pens and pins literally right now.
I just use my fists
Still can’t do any damage to myself because I’m weak 😔
you say that like people wont know where to find or have the capacity to walk to the nearest hardware store and buy a pack of fresh razors with pocket change
Oh no, how'd I find this? It's 11:17 pm, I should be asleep, yet here I am, watching this. I'm beginning to regret life choices.
Also, this video didn't help me at all, in fact, it just made me want to self-harm more than I already did.
I cant stop doing self harm even if i wanted to, it sounds stupid and i only did it once or twice because i felt really upset
@@dicjd107 I don’t have depression and I’m so sorry u have it and I’m not a therapist but maybe find something that u like that u know is not wrong I’m sorry if I offended you I’m just trying to help I’m sorry
@@joemama4lifersss348 its fine, i dont get sympathy/empathy very often so thanks :)
@@dicjd107 np! 💙
@@dicjd107 hey. I hope you're doing better now. If not, I'm really sorry. But what the other person commented has a point. If you have a hobby, a passion, a person you love so dearly you'd never want to hurt them- focus on that and try to reduce the number of times you harm yourself. One day you'll be at a point where you won't have to harm yourself at all.
Also, if you are in a position where you can take therapy, please do so. You won't regret it.
Anyways, I hope you dont require this advice and are doing great in your life.
Lots of love xx
I used to hold my arm in the steam of a kettle until I moved on to cutting.
I haven't self harmed since I started writting my fears down and writing my own book to tell my story.
I also feel like this makes people not want to seek help bit get more depressed it just makes me confused do we seek help or not???
We should seek help, I've been trying, but my therapist left and now I'm stuck in a rut.
woaaa this is a major trigger lmao I shouldn't be watching this
Me too man
i came to this video thinking it was going to teach me how to self harm.
Same
I just put salt on the cuts without thinking. I’ve been a fool.
Please don't, it could infect the cuts. There's other ways that won't put you in danger
Dude, i get it if youre going for that extra sting but maybe next time instead of salt use rubbing alcohol. Might not sting as bad but at least it cleans the wound.
“Oh, hey your daughter is self harming, just give her clean blades.” WTF
"cutting on your wrist and forearms are a cry for attention"
well, no. i do it, i never show it to anyone. I hide it so how?
who loves watching the blood drip
watching it run down in different length streaks is oddly satisfying. only seems to do that after I douse it with rubbing alcohol though.
How to do that?
I don't know if anyone can relate but..
Self harm is just a part of a loop that starts with Self hatred
I hated myself so much even if others loved me and as a result of that hatred I got so emotionally harmed and depressed
I see that emotional pain as a punishment that my brain puts on me for hating myself
Then when I try to keep myself emotionally stable and try to hold my emotions back in front of people just to appear strong or charismatic,
My brain punishes me again for trying through making me crave self harm..
I don't harm myself to grap attention like this video says, I harm myself physically so that I can preserve my mental sanity to keep up with the daily challenges
I'm very very very sorry if the way I wrote this paragraph bored you in any way and I'm sorry if I wasted your time, please don't share any negative replies on this comment for I'm just at the edge of suicide because of it.
I honestly relate a lot to this
Give Her *CLEAN* Rasor Blades
*_Thanks For Telling me That_*
To anyone who has seen this video, triggered by it, maybe even hurt yourself after or during it, I hope you're doing better now. I came across it when I was in a bad place and it was really triggering at the same time it didn't really phase me much because of how my negative mindset was then. Seeing it now, I see everything wrong with it and just wanted to say that you SHOULDN'T listen to this video. Although it's true that you can't help someone who doesn't want help, doesn't mean you should completely give up. Don't give up. Keep fighting. Just fucking fake it till you make it if you have to. But don't give up. I love you all. Have a good day.
Ty, yea this video is strange. I watched it to help me but it just made me want to SH again. I'm gonna watch other content instead
@fahad Abdullah what?
Oh god this is like dont hug me im scared, so unsettling at 12:00 AM
Same at 2:27 am jeez- I'm creeped out. 😥
No one cuts them self as a cry for help bru it to distract ur self for the mental pain well at least that's the reason i do it
Do NOT go to this video for advice or anything really.
You should check out Kati Morton tho.
She makes great videos about mental health.
I just started self harming half way through the video
Are you ok?
Can you tell how you did it? I'm trying to get some...release of all the stress and problems but I don't know how to.
@@lukamodric7 try exercising, drinking cold water, taking a cold shower, eating something spicy, or rubbing an eraser on your hand gently. Maybe even push a piece of velcro on your fingers
I’m stuck in this addiction. I do it every day. Your life will fall apart. Please avoid it at all costs. What you do ultimately is your choice, but please try the methods I provided you with first. It may give you some hope
@@rissthebee Thank you, I will.
@@rissthebee I bite my thumb until it hurts, but I tried eating something spicy and that’s actually helped. I did almost everything you listed.
Please dont give children anything to harm themselves with but it's also important to not forcefully take away self harm objects try to convince the person to give them up willingly it's a much more powerful feeling knowing you gave up those objects willingly
Hiding objects won't change anything.You can literally self harm everywhere.You can't hide kitchen knives,pencil sharpeners,needles, scissors etc.(and Im just talking about cutting)Once a sharp piece fell out of my bed and I cut myself with it.I see your point but if a person is addicted which probably is the case,it might not be the best solution.
I can’t hurt myself because I’m so weak I literally smash my jaw so much
i like to watch stuff about cutting while i’m cutting
This should be called *”how i became a cannibal”*
I’m officially 2 days clean it’s not a lot but it’s a start
Congrats, even a little is a great start, just remember, it's ok to slip up sometimes, recovery isn't ever a straight path.
I hate this videos vibe I'm so uneasy
All self harmers cut for different reasons. I do it to cope with emotional distress. Like when I get angry or sad or confused. It feels like the pain absorbs the emotion, and looking at the old cuts help me too.
Considering this video is literally called SELF HARM FOR BEGINNERS this shouldn't be okay.. it's just so unsettling for the people that actually do self harm..
This is bad it tells us how to keep cutting
actually, this made me cut again... :(:
Same :(
You two are morons.
Breezy Poiised you’re an insensitive prick
@@applef1uffy omg yes, this is serious and they cant just make fun of this like they are trying to catch attention, before i didnt wanna cut myself since it would hurt but then i gave up on life and started cutting, it actually made me feel better so i thought it would be therapy for depression, but it only lasted a small time, now i cant stop cutting and this makes me want to cut even more
Ern Lu hey hey hey it’s okay you don’t have to cut to feel happy.
I thought it was gonna tell you HOW to start self-harming
;-; I need that badly...
Dont it isnt the answer
Don't! Trust me, it is hard to stop once you start. You'll want to stop and then wish you had never started. It's better to get help for the issues themselves rather than hurting yourself like this. You get stuck with nasty scars that people tend to stare at, it can be hard but you should seek therapy if you feel the urge to hurt yourself in any way. 99% of the time, therapists aren't like this, there are some bad ones, obviously, but a good therapist would try to help you, and wouldn't treat you like this.
I keep coming back to this video to calm myself.
UA-cam refuses to let me watch this my wifi is working perfectly fine and its sayin no connection
same here right now, what with the video...
@@damianovargas good, please don't try to watch it, either of you.
@@lwp2001 Why, its working now and you've reminded me to watch it-
@@damianovargas just know that this is uninformed, unprotected, and inaccurate. Please don't go by it
this is my favourite youtube video it’s unsettling in the best away possible
I feel like its on the edge of unsettling yet somehow relaxing.
I mean i was looking up how to harm myself and got this and i just want to say no, i’m not doing it for attention. i’m trying to find a way to get rid of my sadness/anxiety and cutting can make you more powerful because you’re controlling your own body. it’s not a game, it’s a coping mechanism
how are you doing now
This sounds like a conversation i imagine i have with other people
I've actually tried this before, and it feels relaxing. I don't make myself bleed, but I use scissors to make visible scratches that usually stay for a bit. I'm an unlucky person and I can't get what I want, so I just hurt myself in secret. I wish I was someone else who was luckier and happier
Sssame, i dont cut too deep because im scared of anyone knowing so my cuts are only visible for bit then just disAppear iggg only the first scratch when i do it actually shows but its only a small scabbb uhm
i hope you feel better though i genuinely care about you and think you deserve a better life c:
Why does this remind me of salad fingers?
wanting attention when you cut your wrists and forearms? yeah that's why i almost got a heatstroke because I'm wearing thick hoodies in the middle of summer so people don't see
...I listened To This Awhile Ago..i regret it so much.
this video is so unsettling, I don’t even know if the ‘point’ they’re trying to prove is doing anything apart from making people want to do it more
Tbh I thought this was gonna be a joke video based on the title
I’m only 12. I don’t wanna feel like this. I just want to be a normal kid
I was just feeling like I wanted to do self harm so I came here to see if it would help and now I just know what took to use to do the job right. Thanks a lot. Somebody help me
This honestly making me feel like I cant even punish myself right.....
What do they mean that antidepressants worsen your problems? They're helping me A LOT with my depression and anxiety lol.
I think it's about self harm as a form of addiction without any other psychological problems
This is a horrible video - I’m glad your medicine is working and I hope you are doing well.
So basically he’s aware she’s hurting herself but won’t help her at all and let her continue to hurt herself? That’s weird
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh its twisted.
Everything about this video is bizarrely creepy. From the music, voices, even the drawings. Really interesting aesthetic honestly.
jack stauber core
salad finger core
This is less about people who cut themselves to release emotional stress and more about people who do it to feel power or social attention. It isn’t inherently selfish but it is important to be honest with yourself when addressing why you harm yourself. It can become an addiction for the feeling of it, that’s what this video is talking about
this is so unsettling
Don't lie this wasn't in your recomended you searched it up.
I'm getting a uneasy feeling that this video *WANTS* me to self harm....
It makes me upset that so many people think that cutting on your wrists and forearm is a cry for help it can be but 90% of the time it’s not bc I do it but I hide it I don’t want ppl to know so it’s honestly not a cry for help at this point
The fact that people actually clicked on this video😭😳
this actually triggers me..
Same...
How do u make your skin split open when u cut been trying only a few doit I use a school sharpener do i need sharper stuff
this makes me feel uneasy
i was planning to get therapy next week but if that's how therapists are... lmfao bye
thank you for the tips or how to hurt yourself even more tho!
Unfortunately, the worst example tend to speak the loudest. I’ve had therapists that help. I’ve also had ones that make me feel like Im doing everything to myself. I suggest trying a session with a therapist with good reviews, and only continuing to see them if they make you feel like you’re getting better
Why hasn’t this video been taken down yet? This is very unsettling and misleading.
This sent me into a panic attack...
I self-harm for over 3 years now and this is just making fun of self-harm...It really upsets me ;(
right !!
Well, this video, instead of helping you stop cutting, makes you want to cut more and that triggrerrd everyone.
However, it s called Self harm for beginners.
This is not misinformation. Its made exactly what its meant for.
Doctor: It seems your kid is cutting, but what I’m worried about it becoming infected. Give her clean razor blades.
Mom: Ahh. Makes sense.
I’m depressed BUT THIS SHIT SHOULD NOT BE ON THE INTERNET THIS IS FUCCKING messed up
thank you for teaching me how to self harm
Please tell me this is a joke.. oh god...
What the hell? This is NOT a way to help self harm, this is triggering.
Ive been clean for two weeks im so proud
❤️
Hey 👋 how are you doing now? 💕
ok so i cut on my wrist but not bc of a cry for help nor attention bc i dont really wear short sleeves but bc it feels better than in my thighs and other places, do you guys have any recommendations of how it can hurt more instead of wrist because I don't want people to find them.
