Is wrist cutting no longer valid

[kavina]

It seems most people talk about other methods. We all seem to gravitate towards something and mine is exsanguination. Been that way forever. But would it even work since so many don't bother with it? Is it just a Movie method?

It's a bad method. The artery is deep. It's not like the movie Wristcutters.

Most people can't make it. This method hurts too much and usually doesn't kill you. The cut has to be really really deep hat the blood squirts.

I'm gonna try it nonetheless. though it happens to be the worst suicide method. the only thing I have other than cutting is hanging.

Wrist cutting has never been a viable method. Its stuff you see in movies.

All it will do it leave nasty scars and hurt like hell.

It's a cry for help method and definitely not a good idea.

I don't think it's ever been a valid suicide method honestly, it's a self harm one instead. From what I'm aware it has a less than 2% success rate.

You can die by cutting but it's too painful and your aim must be good otherwise you can forget about it.

Breaking down different types of cutting:

-Wrists:
Is rather unsuccessful and you'd have to cut down vertically and not horizontally. That is where your veins are located. Cut deep.

-Legs:
Same as wrists.

-Throat/Neck:
If you hit right you can die pretty easily but there are better way to damage/tie up your carotid arteries that lead to death i.e hanging and related methods

-Stomach:
Ouch. You won't hit your aorta this way and death results likely from infection of the cut open abdomen being exposed.

It is possible to kill yourself that way, but it is harder than most people realise. You are more likely to fail, and you could easily also lose the use of your hand. If you do want to use that method, then read up on the relevant anatomy first, so you can do the job effectively. There must be relevant information somewhere on this site.

it's too painful and it's difficult to get a good deep cut. it's a nice way to take the edge off, regardless.

Take it from someone who has been wearing a broken sock around my wrist and a long t shirt for MONTHS after doing this so that no one will see the cuts, please dont.

I've known someone to ctb this way, they cut once and it didnt work then on the second attempt I'm guessing they cut an artery. But this doesnt have a high success rate plus its gonna hurt like hell.
