Its like the cat is depression and it saw someone else hurting too and it latched onto that person for company and reasurence but it hurts as well as helps.

This feels like one of the most personal Cut My Hair vents I've seen. I don't know why but it feels like it's revealing something extremely hard to say to people. And yet here it is on KZfaq, the only place to reveal horrible truths without anyone in real life knowing

can I.... screen hug you?

i always used to tell a story about how i had a cat that lived with me. i used that story to describe my anxiety and depression to others. i would say that a stray, mean, awful cat came to me around the age of 7. i would say how this cat hissed at me, telling me i’m not good enough. i would explain that the cats presence would bring flashbacks from my childhood. one day the feral animal lost its temper and attacked my arms. that’s why i had scars. people then would sometimes get it, that mental illness isn’t my fault, and that just like feral cats it comes and goes. also just like feral cats it can hurt you. this animation or whatever you’d like to call it almost described my story perfectly. thank you.

Heya! My friends has busted their asses to get me to stop self harm and I'm very thankful for them cause I did stop. I'm okay guys so no worries. Thank you all for the overwhelming support!

i saw this somewhere: if you get the urge to cut, rub an ice cube on your wrist instead. it’s supposed to help. i hope you all are taking care of yourselves. love you

I think the cat is there to represent a huge part of your emotions, the cat is the urge itself to continue hurting and feeling a numbness to the pain as you continue though it, always trying to cause more and more in order to not be able to relive the moment that brought you there. By continue hurting what I mean is that it is there to make you continue feeling bitter, sadness, or numbness in the moment, you WANT to feel this way after a while but not remember what made you feel that way so that you can continue to feel such a strong emotion simply to see more and more blood. The emotions have always been uncontrollable, but the bloodshed puts you into a euphoric moment, causing you to continue to hurt because that's the only thing that seems to be helping. You can easily see yourself breaking and breaking as the time passes and you just have to sit there almost as if you're watching your life go by in this time of fakery. Smiling and laughing just for this evil to be behind that mask. However, I think the end symbolizes unity, a literal end to what has happened so far. You are at peace with your darkest sides, and you even embrace them because of how dear they seem to have become, how used to them you are. The end's unity is to be at peace with your darkness and to understand maybe you won't always need it anymore. If not unity agreement, an agreement to make this the literal end, for embracing your darkness can either mean becoming it or being it's ally, and if you were to become that darkness the end of this video is the end of everything- there is nothing left, to simply say. Maybe that can imply an empty shell of a human being or the loss of one's life. There are so many possibilities for this video, and I wouldn't be surprised if I wasn't near the intentions of it but I thought I'd say what came to mind. And also, sorry if this doesn't make sense I was just putting down my thoughts as they flowed out, I really don't know if it will make sense to anyone else or not so I'm apologizing prior to you reading it.

I think this video is very eye opening to people who don’t understand how frustrating depression is Thank you

Oh sweetheart your art is amazing . And hey if you dont feel good you can talk to me . Sure i'm a complete strager to you now , but i still worry 🌺❤ .

With a name like frecklemcbooty this is extremely deep and beautiful ❤️

pain can last forever ; but just stay focused on the positive things . Wounds take time to heal..stay strong 💗

I HATE hugs and/or any physical contact but I want to give you a hug.

Ahh I might be off but I feel like the cat represents a part of you that turned bitter/hurt badly during your earlier years. Kind of like your self image/thoughts on yourself?? Though that part of you does make you hurt yourself, doubt yourself, or dislike yourself, it’s still apart of you at the end of the day, and you’ve gotta learn to accept that and try to heal whatever you can, even if it’s never fully. It’s obvious this is very personal and meaningful to you, and it’s really refreshing to see you tell your story this way.

I feel as if the cat is a symbol for past memories, it shows the cat in the shadow of a young crying girl. The memory hurts the person but the memory hurts it’s self cutting it’s self into pieces only to show the worst parts of it and haunt the owner but in the end the memory can change your point of view on life it has helped the person to overcome the memory and accept it that it is only a memory and that the person can do its best to prevent the memory from describing the person. This is truly the best cut my hair meme that I’ve seen and your art style is so great!💖💖

Your art is actually truly beautiful, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Im sorry you’re going through this, I promise on my life that things will get better...I promise..

its really hard not to cry watching this video because the way you potrayed both the cat and human give me a link with my deceased cat. before he died i was depressed over the littlest things, him being a therapy cat really helped with it. i feel he didnt show anyone that he hurt because he was afraid it would result in death, before he died he fell down the stairs leading to him breaking into a heart attack when i was asleep, i feel like that was his way of not showing me he was hurting, and he didnt want me to see him die. moments after my mom and brother took me to go see him where he was killed, after his death i would lay in bed eating nothing for days its just so heartwarming and upsetting seeing the hidden links in this video. There can be more than one meaning to everything because the human mind will find weak links and connect their story to it.

I see the cat as a demon of depression on its own and the cat is the most amazing reference to a demon because when u cut or scratch it’s almost like cat claws... And i see that the person learnt to love their demons because a demon is the only part of u that knows what it feels like and a demon will always be there with u through out any pain. I hope you are okay because this video means so much, i’m guessing to u bcuz most likely that’s what u went through ☔️💜

*sending virtual hug*

I honestly love this so much. To me i fell like the cat is the comfort of your mind that becomes corrupted by depression. I mean, throughout this the cat slowly turns from a form of comfort to poor defenseless animal who can't defend the being they were supposed to keep safe.. ..I didn't sign up for these feels..

I know this probably isn't the true meaning of your vent art, but I absolutely love that you made this, I've been struggling with schizo for quite a while and I guess this sort of cat character reminded me of it (I'd always self harm then blame it on a hallucination), though.. just the last frame got me to accept this, and quit self harm (1 week so far). Thank you so much, you're an amazing artist and I'm really grateful since this helped me quite a bit.

I really love the end, normally people show it going away or it being squashed out but some days having to embrace emotions is the only way it will get better and we can finally move on

i already left a comment about the relatability of this, but i'd also like to note that this reminds me of my cat and i. im autistic and my cat is disabled (half blind), presumably abused before we got her. we were both in pretty rough shape when i got her, and we both grew and matured and got better together.

I only had mild depression for a little while and it was so confusing to me. I’m a happy person and have a really awesome life so I had no idea why I was stuck in a rut. Even mild depression was hard for me so I can’t imagine what it’s like to have severe depression. You are so amazing and I’m so proud that you persevered and stopped self harming. Keep going up

strong message im really glad that you stopped self harm, it's not fun at all. i really liked how you portrayed depression, or a negative thought, as a cat (since cat's always scratching stuff and people smh) I liked this video dis *dis some good shit right here*

09/14/18 Oh jeeze I just noticed we've hit 500k views!! Wowza you guys ;; 05/25/18 Oml we just hit 400k views ;///; Thank you so much!! 04/01/18 *You should've put a trigger warning D':* - I'm sorry to not have put a trigger warning in the video. I made the effort to put TW in the title tho. The reason why I didn't put a TW in the vid is because I was only expecting this video to have about 500 views at most. But it blew up. I didn't want to reupload it cause people might think I'm only doing it for views and stuff so again, I'm sorry for not putting a TW at the start of the video. 03/15/18 And we've reached 300k!! Man!! Thank you so much! Keep being strong, people. I know you guys can keep fighting until your personal wars has been won ❤❤❤ 02/06/18 I just now realized I forgot to add 'PMV' on the title Cavetown is the original person who made the song! Miss Minty Blue was the one who had the idea to borrow the song and made an animation of it. 02/02/18 AAAA 2 WEEKS LATER AND I'M ALREADY AT 200K???? WTF 01/22/18 And almost a week later I'm already approaching 150k views omfg ;;A;; 01/16/18 HOLY HECK A HUNDRED THOUSAND VIEWS??? OML I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! ;//v//; YOU'RE ALL SO LOVELY AND STRONG PEOPLE! ❤❤❤

I promised myself I wasn't going to cry but here I am at the end, sobbing and feeling understood.

When I write this, I am not making this up to get attention or anything, this is a sincere thank you. Ive watched this video a lot in just the past few days, and this video honestly inspired me to talk to my mom about my depression (I've been depressed for nearly 10 years now and though my mom is fully aware of my depresion, ive never once confronted her about it) and how it's getting worse and has been for a while. I seriously cannot thank you enough, I've never had the courage to talk to her about it especially one on one without it being required, (actually ive never really confronted her about it even while in units, I've always let the doctors talk for me completely) and it made me feel so much more relieved. Seriously, thank you so much. This whole thing is all wonky and probably doesn't make sense but still hopefully you get my message💕

This has to be the relatable "cut my hair " iv seen.but seeing a good animation makes me a little happier almost like an escape from my depression.

This brought tears to my eyes because I'm actually dealing with early stages of depression I don't think I'll ever come to hurting myself or committing suicide but I do have quite depressing thoughts and I don't have a lot of self worth or confidence this really hit me. Hard. And I thank you for putting this out there and sharing your personal thoughts do I figured I should too hopefully you make it though with the help of your friends the true ones

I love the way you drew the little furry guy. It's really innocent looking but also pretty intimidating.

This is way unique, not only did you show the perspective of someone facing suicide but also the perspective of a small cat that couldnt be loved often, i love this! The animation isnt that much professional but the art and the story is really UNIQUE, just dont stop and you'll be facing more, again, love this sadly i cant download this in my offline videos *sobs* 😢

You truly are stronger than you think not and I'm glad you bloomed from that phase

I’m sorry for the bad things going on in your life and I’m proud that you’re still here and I’m here for you ❤️

I ended up crying. This was extremely emotional. You could see the feelings within each character as if they were depression and human. Really thought out. Hope you’re ok now

This. . This is gorgeous. I cannot express the talent that is embedded in your soul. You seem to be pure, but tainted and chained by depression. I have experienced. . More like lived, the pain that is the shackles of depression. I would never inflict the pain upon anyone, and I cannot stand people being hurt like this. It breaks my heart to see other people being hurt by depression, or by themselves. It’s usually both. I want to tell you right now, you’re perfect the way you were made. The waves of the sea of depression can never crash down upon you, because you will float. You will float because you’re a beautiful person, because you have the persistence to proceed with life. I may be a random stranger online, but I, your friends, your family, your KZfaq community, Etc will always be that hand to support you, to help you learn to swim and keep afloat in the see of depression. My apologies for the rambling I have done, I cannot express feelings very well, but I hope you finish reading this sheer comment with another point of view, with the little feeling, the little flame, of happiness you deserve.

I actually connected very much with this video. Maybe whatever you went and/or are going through is similar to what’s going on with me. I’d rather not talk about what I got from this, but it’s a deep personal meaning to me.

I used to cut too when I was younger, thankfully it didn't escalate any further than what I did but my friends were less fortunate and they got worse, almost killing themselves at some points. But, I'm glad they survived and got help, so I'm glad that you're okay now even though like everyone else in the comment section I'm a complete stranger and I just found your channel, I hope you don't slip back into the well

Jesus Christ I'm crying. A friend of mine took his own life a few years ago because of probable depression. I'm still kinda broken about that but just saying, I wish you the best and after seeing this I will support you in everything you do.

0:43 Didn't notice this at first, but when the person cuts their left arm it swapped to the cat doing it too! That's neat honestly

I love the idea of the ‘cat’( I think it’s a cat) in the video. This video is so raw and beautiful and i adore every second. I think it’s great how you let us interpret what’s going on ourselves

This honestly moved me to tears. I know it's easier said than done, try your best to keep a positive mindset. Remember you're not only hurting yourself when you self harm. But it is hard to, take it from me, but you can do it, I pinky promise. If you ever need to talk, I suggest downloading an app called 7 Cups. It's basically where you can talk about any problems that you have with an anonymous therapist online. You don't have to give out any personal information, such as your name where you live and so on. I've struggled with self-harm and suicidal thoughts for a long time, and the people at 7 Cups have really helped me :-). Just remember we're here to catch you when you fall.

This video is the most accurate one that I've seen. I know it belongs to you, that it is about your own experience and let me tel you I am really sorry for what you've been/ going through. This video made me cry instantly. The other ones I've seen had always represented the "love" as someone else, like sexual love but this showed parental love... Many people judge me for telling this but, I don't love my mom. I don't feel attached to her in any way. I car about her and all my family members but I don't fell attached to any of them. I've sarted cutting since I was in mid-school and haven't been able to stop since then. I fell really numb, weird, stupid, gross, ugly and anxious most of the time. I also have company, as in voices inside my head. I know they're not really real but they're mean. When I cut, they shut up and even if it hurts, it feels good because I'm alone. I'm safe. When the little girl apeared, the cat behind her was the boy. It was you. It was me. I don't now for you but, the little girl was my sister. Most of the time she disagrees with our parents and is often shouted on. I can't move to defend her and can't stand to see her sad so I cut. Cut for not being able to be there for her, not helping her. I cut because I'm too weak to confront my parents and tell them they're wrong. I'm really sorry for posting this here. It's just that this video made me emotional and I guess this month really wasn't the best to discover such a beautiful song and an artwork so amayzing. I don't feel bad about saying that I tried to kill myself a year ago. The only thing I fell when I say this is shame. Shame that I wasn't able to success in it. I'm really sorry for this post.

I’m happy that this appeared on my recommended and I’m so grateful for you sharing your feelings through this video. I hope everyday becomes a little easier. I hope you know there are people who care and love you, even if you don’t believe it, because there are people like me who love people even if we never met them. You’re a beaufuil person.

I’ve broken the replay button because this song and animation is so beautiful. Honestly I don’t have many words to say besides I’ve been struggling with depression too, and seeing you post something so personal and internal here is SO brave of you. I may not know you, but I’m proud of you, and that you’ve been able to work through your troubles ❤️

Depression is explained is various ways. Every way is sadder. Unexplainable, even. I do wish the best for you. Just as much as I do for me.

O dear, Can I tell you.. We are all glad you stopped self harm. I hope you never do it again. People care, like all the people who watched And commented. We will ALWAYS love you, your videos, and more. You make my heart feel warm.. Thanks for the film my friend. Remember no more self harm. Friends and family, ( plus others ) care darling. ♥️ Subbed and Notified.

I love your art and the way you portray emotions and certain things. Its beautiful, relatable, and I can't believe I'm just now finding your channel! If you ever need to talk, don't hesitate. Yes, I don't know you, but I really want to help out anyone if they need it.

I can honestly relate, I’ve done this before 7 months ago. I do it again an hour before new year... If you want someone to talk to feel free, there can be a way to help you ❤️

I don't think you guys should ask if this person is okay. Does this seem okay to you? Let me just let you rewatch the video and think about that for a second. For the person who made this video: We all care about you. Sure, we don't know you in real life, but I personally feel like I know you from this. You can talk to me if you want to vent. I'm always here for you.

This was a wonderful animation! Hey,turn those sad depressing moments into building blocks to make you a better and more stronger person tomorrow or any day. Its okay to be sad at times~ its only human to feel those emotions. If its too much to carry,I recommend visiting a psychologist..it may be scary but it helps. Its helped me and many other people. Sending love from the pacific! ❤️

IM HUGGING MY IPAD AS AN ATTEMPT TO HUG YOU!? SMH HONEY I AM A COMPLETE STRANGER TO YOU BUT YOUR ART IS GREAT AND I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON

I am crying right now because i feel so bad for u and what ever is going on in ur life i hope it gets better and ur art is amazing. I didn’t get the whole video but what i do understand is that there is so hard ass shit is going down in ur life and I dearly hope ur life gets better

Your art is gorgeous!❤ The meaning you've put behind this is amazing, i loved the way you expressed depression in a bit of a different way. This video was amazing, and lots of love to you!❤ ❤

I see in the comments that you are ok and doing better. I'm glad, I don't want you or anyone to be doing this to themselves. There are people out there who can help, like your freinds who helped you. Stay safe and allow people to help and make you feel better. On the other topic I love your work and this video says a lot with no information needed. Keep doing what you love and don't let the your own demons bring you down.

Aww this is amazing and has such a strong message if you ever need someone to talk to you can always talk to one of us Edit : don’t forget that we love you

This deserves to be so much more popular it literally made me cry

Im glad you stopped. Please don’t do it anymore. We’re here for you. There are many people that love you.

Whoever it is that i wish that i wish you blessings and luck to be able to overcome it. * a quien sea que le suceda eso, le deseo bendiciones y suerte para poder superarlo

I don't know how this made me cry so much 😭

This is sooo good❤️💜♥️ it shows that if two are a partnership of what I think is friendship between the cat a boy means, that the boy was under horrible influence by the cat to cut and to just stay in depression, and I think the cat represented all of his feelings. For instance the cat says he was feeling sick gtg, and the boy was feeling sick so that’s how I interpreted this animatic. Thank you so much for this wonderful art 😛 and letting me share my thoughts .🙂 (edit) I feel that this video should be recognized as a great and meaningful, heartfelt story and I am crazy about it 😉😛

This is amazing! Your art is amazing... please feel better I'm probably late but still... please

This is a very amazing Cut My Hair meme. The message is very clear, and it’s a good way to describe what depression is. And though it may be triggering to some people, it’s good to face your problems to understand them. I love this.

Wow, I’ve binged so many ‘Cut my Hair’s, but this one portrays the message behind it so deeply, giving some explanation to the unexplainable ☺️

I know I’m just some stranger behind a screen.. but really I wish I could help. You don’t deserve to feel so bad. I know depression well and it is a bitch to go through, but just know that I will support you every step of the way

This was amazingly done, and it tells the story well, although we probably don't have all of the pieces. I know I'm not always the greatest with talking about topics like this, because honestly I'm dealing with the stress of trying not to practically punish myself for all the things I regret doing, and quite often when I'm speaking about these things, whether it be in person or over text or something, I go on rabbit trails and my sentences just fall apart, as they have just done, but after reading your pinned comment as well, I'm so glad you've broken that habit, because although I am new to this channel, you seem like an amazing person, and no one should have to deal with things that make you want to harm yourself. (Jfc I'm a hypocrite...) I hope things get/stay well in your life. ~Love, Eevee.~ (I really hope that made sense. Im really tired at the time of writing this, and my sentenced tend to fall apart a lot, even when I'm wide awake.)

This brings "The Cat Did It!" to a whole new level..

This is probably the best Cut my hair version I've seen so far. I really like how when the cat cut it affected its owner in a way. It's like in real life when you see somebody that you have respect/admire to have a hard time and it affects you in a way. This is the first video I've seen on your channel! I love how you animate and how you design/colur the charaters to give more emotion to the setting and charaters, Keep doing your best cause your a star!

Hey I feel you, I've done self harm but it's not the answer we are all here for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️💖💖💞💞

This is art

It seems everytime I have real bad downs I come back, I used to cut myself not too deeps but I never got any support for it till after I turned 18 and could legally take control of my own life. I don't cut anymore but the urges still come during my lowest points but I'm really glad you made this video I love the art style so much and it's a good song to cry to. I hope each and everyday you're doing well? It's hard sometimes and sometimes harder than others bit please don't forget to take care of yourself. Thank you so much for making this I hope you continue to stay strong.

the cat is a representation of inner self. that cat is this artist but in a different light.

I had to subscribe when I watched this... I'm so sorry for whatever you are or have gone through... This is a very deep symbolization of hurt. I truly hope you are okay and am praying for you. ❤ Edit: ... And please... Don't hurt yourself.. I beg of you.. Your worth more than the pain you inflicted upon your innocent wrists. I care about your well-being. ❤

I know I'm late but, I wish the best for you. No matter what I will love your art and I'm glad you have friends that care that much about you because that's what you deserve. Stay happy, and alive. :)

I'm crying so hard right now, I feel like i understand the meaning and it hits so close to home for me. I'm proud of you for being able to share your story in this way. I hope you've gotten a lot better 💖

My chest is squeezed thin with emotion- this was painful to watch yet beautifully drawn. I don’t regret a second of it. Keep being you

While it may not be a good thing, I relate strongly to the cat in this video in that my entire personality is kinda a weird coping mechanism. I act like a hardass with superficial charm and sometimes will hurt the people I am close with if I'm careless, but if I put effort into being more open instead of falling into that routine, incredibly deep and meaningful connections can happen. I know I'm not good, but day by day I'm trying to change so that I can be better for the people who love me. This video helped me a lot (picture at the end really got to me haha). Beautiful art as well, and the original music by Cavetown is a song very dear to me. Lovely job.

At first I thought the cat was bad but now I feel so sad!

This moved me to tears.

This is beautiful showing the feelings of the person and their monster. I admire your work.

You are perfect the way you are.You are strong, you can make it. I know the pain my dear. But we all just need to stay determined, I wanted to give up a while ago... but you see i’m still here. And if a weak Drongo(i hope you know what that is) like me can do it, you are able to do it twice. Believe in you. People are being jealous because you are someone, cuz you have something they don’t even know: Love, Mercy, Inner Beauty and people who are REALLY there for you. Sooo plz promise me you don't hurt ya self k ? Also im there for u if you want to talk.

We Love You!! ;-;

This is truly beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. I wish you the best of luck on getting better. May light shine on you and your path.

As soon as I saw the flashing between the cat and the teen, I immediately felt a connection. Sometimes I feel like my demons take over and it isn’t even me doing the things to myself. This is beautiful. Thank you

This has left me in tears. Since i am going through the same things i can see what this is mostly about. Ive had depression for over 3-4 years now and during those years i didnt even notice i did.. One day, Not too long ago i cut for the first time. It was painful and i tried my best to hide it from everybody. I regretted it so much but cant help but want to go back and do it all over again.

For anyone suffering from depression...............I did too. I’m 17, male Muslim and was finding life meaningless and the feeling stripped me of humanity and left me grey. Later in the years of life, I dreamt about smiling and a tree. I woke up startled for no good reason. That same day as I was praying my evening prayers, I smiled genuinely for once in a long time. It didn’t feel like the ones that felt like a mask 😷. I actually felt happy for once. After finishing praying, I actually sat down and cried a little thinking of what happened.

This was honestly amazing and gave a whole new meaning to one of my favorite songs!! Thank you and keep up your good work!!

"Where are those scratches from?" "......my cat did it."

Omg i actually cried, this is wonderful and i hope youre feeling somewhat better

IM YOUR 4000TH SUB!!! CONGRATS!!

I love this a lot, the visuals are stunning and the beauty of how you leave it up to the viewer makes it so much better. I don't know what everybody else sees, but I see something I can relate to.

Wow, your such an amazing animator. Especially being able to tell a story through this single animation.

Ah sweety please, cutting yourself does no good. Please I know its hard but try to find an alternetive. Cuttimg wont do you any good. It takes the pain away for a while, but it will bring you and others alot of pain now or maybe later. Please if you need any help.. I am here💖 maybe its good to talk to someone who struggles with the same things. 💖💖we love you, please dont harm yourself. You are way too beautiful for that

Ifeelsobad oml you're amazing please dont cut (if this is what its about) I already love your videos because I just watched this one first and I already know you deserve so much better Please don't harm yourselff

I don't usually cry and I haven’t cried in a long time but this video made me cry... Its so amazing, and I see a message in it, someones always there for you even if they get hurt in the time being.

Your art is so well done. I'm so sorry you went through all that. I send you my hugs!

Even at the worst, things will get better. You are not alone, I’m also going through things. I’m probably just a nobody to you, But that okay, just remember that people care about you. Especially your fans.

#StayAlive

I'm not he type of person who cries easily, and this almost got me. I wish I did cry easily so I could cry to this. Also when the cat started to cry and cut, I was so close to shedding a tear.

I AM FRECKIN DYING YOUR ART MAKES ME SCREAM IT'S SO WELL DONE

Can I hug you? Please? I don’t self harm but have talked many friends out of suicide and self harm, so this deeply impacted me. I love the imagery you used, as well as the overall message. I hope you’re doing well. Love, Karma.
