Image description: After a brief clip of Elly talking, this video begins with a content warning, which says: “Content Warning: Domestic violence and self-harm. Detailed descriptions of psychological, emotional, and physical abuse.” During the rest of the video, Elly- white with brown eyes, shoulder-length brown hair, and wearing an orange button-up shirt- sits on a bed as she talks to the camera. Her black dog is laying on the bed behind her, and the wall is draped with a string of lights.
