when she said "you weren't self absorbed, you were ill" I feel like that was such a mature thing for her to say. That fact that she was only 16 is crazy

I’m 17 almost 18 and I have been self harming for about 6 years. 2 weeks clean!

Honestly everyone needs a sister like amy, she’s so amazing xoxo

i came to this channel because its so real. it talks about serious issues surrounding mental health. Tbh i see creators avoiding these kind of subjects, this channel is unique and amazing 💕

This video made me cry.. my sister had to watch me in deep depression and witnessed my suciside attempt and had to see my self harm scars. Never understood or seemed to try how she thought about it all. So thank you Amy for helping me and many others see how our mental illness didn’t only effect us

i want to be friends with your sister she seems like the loveliest person ever

Could you talk about swimming with self harm sometime? *edit* i know i posted this over a year ago, but i want to clarify that i meant with scars. i do not actively self harm anymore but i deal with a lot of insecurity about my scars. thanks for the replies anyways!

Everyone needs someone like Amy in their lives. She’s so sweet and understanding

26:37 seeing Marie and her sister laugh here so much tells me they had such a strong bond. Grief is so so difficult. Keeping y’all in my thoughts all the time.

To adorable sweethearts such a beautiful honest story love both of you

I've been self harming for 17 years... I'm currently 2 weeks clean

Its sad to think that you think 12 is young to know about it but I self harmed then

When I was between the ages of 8-12 my older sister struggled very badly with her mental health. She spent those years in and out of the hospital, attempting suicide and self harming. As a very young kid I wasn’t told what was truly going on. I was told that sometimes people get really sad and have to go to the hospital. I didn’t truly know what was happening. Until I was 12. My sister attempted suicide and it was really close. We had just come home and I went up to say hi to her. I went into her room and saw her almost dead on her bed. Then it was a rush of ambulances and she went to the hospital. I wasn’t told until days later what had really happened. That’s also when I was told what self harm was. Now my sister is so much better. She has her own kid and is living an amazing life. Watching this video I felt like someone understood what I went through for the first time. ❤️❤️

What a lovely strong little sister, makes me think of my own sister and how much she would have had to deal with with me, such a similar situation in my family. Lots of love x

How does your sister get her hair so sleek and shiny? 😀

2 beautiful ladies talking about something really important xxx

A venting account....lots of people with MH difficulties have them. You can vent without your family being on that Insta account. You are such sweethearts. You're bond/closeness is clearly visible 💜 xxxx

So truthful, what a pair of angels, well done the TWO of you, all credit goes to you BOTH, so proud and so much love xx

You should do more videos with your sister! This one was amazing!! Xxxx

I can’t deal how understanding Amy is what an amazing sister ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your sister is such an amazing person. So mature and loving. Such a heartwarming video. I wish my sister was the same x

i just wanted to say you’re such an inspiration to me. i’m currently recovering from anorexia and self harm and your videos help me get through the tough times as now i know i’m not alone going through my struggles! it’s been very hard for me recently as i’ve gone into hospital but you’ve helped me a lot so i just wanted to say thank you for the help

I have so much guilt and shame about putting my brother through so much when I started going through my mental illness, this made me feel so much better and less bad/evil/selfish. Love you both.

Amy seems like a lovely person and I love seeing you guys together and seeing your relationship. ❤️ xxx

amy is so amazing and mature and very level headed and dealing with it from such a young age, your my new hero, sp proud of my baby cousins, I defo see certain family traits in both of you

Thank you for sharing this. Amy, you're such a sweetheart and have an amazing genuine heart. Marie, you're incredibly strong. Hoping for the best for both of you xx

I admire your Amy’s maturity, you both have such a sweet relationship❤️

I really appreciate all the vulnerability and honesty that went into making this video. Especially from Amy since she's not used to talking about this stuff online I'd assume. It's really quite admirable to think how much you're putting yourself out there in order to help other people.

OMG THIS IS SUCH A CUTE VIDEO!!!! MARIE PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER ONE 🥺. I’m here sooooo late but I love this video, it’s so wholesome. Plus with Covid not being able to make videos with friends as much it could be a fun project to involve Amy again ❤️❤️

I loved watching this video. So lovely to see and hear how supportive your family are.

your videos honestly make me feel a lot more confident to talk about my mental illness, so thank you so much Marie 💗

Everyone get yourself an Amy , such a strong family❤️x

That video made me realise how much mental health and self harm affect not only you but the people closest to you. Thank you for spreading awareness. Take care ❤️❤️ also your sister is the loveliest person ever

My favourite video you’ve ever done 😊❤️ well done for this and Amy is amazing!! (Both of your make up is on point too)

U too are so cute u have come so far Marie!❤️❤️

This video is so inspirational 💋 Amy is honestly the kindest person I know and I’m so grateful to have her as a friend ♥️

Awww Amy is such an amazing sister. I am so scared that if my sister finds out about my mental health it will affect her so much and I just feel so guilty to my whole family for putting them through it xxx

The similarities are crazy, that was almost exactly how I was like when I was young and going through it alone. It's 100% true - tell someone otherwise it's only going to get worse. You're both so lovely, kind and beautiful x

Amy is so beautiful inside and out!!! Loved this video❤️

I wish my litter sister and i had a relationship like you two have. When my sister found out about my self-harm, eating disorder, and depression she said i need to be locked away in the "nut house" and she wished i would die from it. lovely little girl. she was about 11 at the time. shes 19 now and she still hates me. we havent spoken in nearly 3 years.

Ahh i could feel the absolute love between you two and it’s so great

I adored this video!!! yassss SHISTAAAR

I relate to Amy so much as I went through so similar with my older sister and everything that was described was so similar to my situation and it helps me to know that something like this wasn’t just me who has gone through this and the time length that you two had is the same as me and in a way it’s scary how alike it is ps u two look like twins lol

Bit off topic but omg both of your makeup is SO SO ON POINT like yaaasss

Can I like this 10x over please! Remind me of me and my sister. Loved this video!! ❤️

You and your sister look so alike, and you're both so beautiful. Your family must have some good genes

When sisters look alike even when they dont look so much alike 💗

Yasss shistar, loved this video 💓💓

I literally LOVE the sisterly banta! x

I was ten when I found out about "mental health" stuff. Depression. Anxiety, selfharm

you guys are so funny to watch :D this vid was interesting and its so cool how your sis has supported you :) i have a pretty supportive brother but my parents are a bit meh with my issues they judge a lot

You are both gorgeous and such amazing people

I've been self harming for almost 3 years, told some people and nobody cared. So I don't bother with hiding my scars (but of course I hide fresh cuts) I'm so tired

Jeez I was 11 nearly 12 when I started self harming and I was nearly 11 when my anxiety and depression started

I think seeing my sister go through her mental health issues was worse then myself going through my own mental health issues. Its soul crushing to see the people you love so hurt and so sad. I would do anything for her and I'm so glad shes doing so much better.

Im 14 and my sister is 10....we shared a king size bed this summer on vacation and she found out and hasnt told my parents just told them i kept talking about my friends experiences w it so id shutup and shes so amazing i love her so much shes the most supportive she relates to amy in wanting to tell straight away but not doing etc and i relate to you marie in that i just sit in my room and only ever shout at anyone but im changing now...im 1 month and a day clean!!! So proud 👏👏💪💪💗💗

Omg Amy should start a KZfaq channel I'm obsessed with her YAAAAAASSSS SHISTAR

You're both the sweetest people 🥺🥺

Omg I wish this was 10 hours long

This hits me hard. My big brother has seen my scars before. He hasn't said anything but it makes me feel so bad that he has to see that. I have been on the waitlist for a couple months now and I thank my brother so much. He is the best thing to ever happen to me.

You are amazing being able to talk about this

YAS SHISSSTERRR

If you’re reading this comment, you’re beautiful and loved. You may have been through scary times but the fact you’re still here means you’ve never truly given up. Well done for pushing through even when you didn’t want to, when you were so done that you struggled to get out of bed you still did, however long it took. If you don’t know who to turn to, there’s always someone ready to listen. It’s okay to get help however bad it is❤️

this was such a cool and interesting video, yall so smart & chill

You guys are literally me in a nutshell (pisces sun and sagittarius moon) hahaha. You sister is such an angel. You have such a loving family and I'm glad you do cause you deserve to have a big supportive family and you deserve all the happiness!

Got to love a sister Q&A, just did one with my twin too xx

Yes shistar💚

At first I thought they're twins.. They are so beautiful and sweet sisters💞

Thankyou, I've just found out my sister has severe anxiety and self harms/ harmed and has just got through to a counsellor from bernadoes. I've just turned 12 .

You two are so cute together!!! 💖💖💖and great vid your sis is amazing, just like you

So now, as an older sister, do you get paranoid that your younger sister may be self harming? I get sooooo paranoid but I try and equip them with things I didn’t have to cope with if they need it

Your sister is amazing, and really pretty. I am a sibling of someone with mental health issues, and he had his first episode when i was 14, and he was 16 turning 17, so i found it pretty tough. I went to a steiner school, which was very close knit, so everyone knew about what had happened to my brother, and were sympathetic, although some of the younger ones couldn't understand it. He never went into a physch ward until he was 18, he was seen as too young to go into a ward, although that wud be a different case now, but this was in the late 80s, in rural yorkshire. Orginally he was quite ill for around half a year, and then unfortunately later in his 20s to 30s mainly, physch hospitals became like a revolving door to him, cos he was never quite on the right medication or decided to stop taking it, plus like myself at the time, and i am not proud of what i did at the time, he got involved in drugs like cannabis...his episodes would be triggered by him not being able to sleep, then he wud become physchotic, and he is schizophrenic as it is, he doesn't hear voices, but he can be very delusional, schizophrenia is not just about hearing voices in your head telling you to do things, that has never happened to him, but his veiw of the world is very unusual, he is very negative about things, fearful, and has pet hates.

what the hell how are you guys so beautiful?!?!?!

Such a good video 💞💞💞

I’m interested in what dad found tbh 😂

yasssss SHISTAAAAR!

I'm 12 right now and I've been self harming since February.. it's getting worse but I'm moving halves of my year to a new friends group because my old one all turned on me and now they hate me and my ex best friend of 10 years told me I'm the reason she wants to kill herself. Also there's a horrible popular girl at school who's bullied me for 2 years and everything is just great 😂👍 no one at all knows about my cutting or my anxiety ect

There will be times in everyone life when we question over 90% maybe 99% of who we are. This is the story of the journey into the darkness. While it hurts to go in with nothing whats great is it allows us to come out and reinvent ourselves. This is the universal Hero story. The phoenix reborn. Every second we are mentally burning away the dead wood and nourishing the parts we want to grow. Sometimes it shakes us to our core or even breaks our core. Sometimes it just feels this away even when its not true. The mind is a crazy organism and the brain is a unique creature in this respect. Because everyone is so very different, and our brains all grow in their own unique way. And we only use a small percentage of it. and we all use and connect different pieces of the brain and reinforce what works for us and what doesnt. That why its so hard to diagnose what causes what with mental illness. At the end of the day we are our own best doctors, and we need to learn for ourselves what helps and works. But communities and brave woman like Marie are giving a platform to help reach and save others. Coming from one of the few males on here i fell like i had to come out and say it on here.

Yassss SHISHTAAAR

I love this video 😊
