What are we supposed to say to this? Do you want validation? I don't mean to be rude but you're probably never going to feel like it's deep enough. I have a lot of empathy for you as someone who self harms as well, but there's no way to answer your question.

No- I meant is it deep enough to die from it?

If that's you -- Holy shit! Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow. Get your ass to the doctor, you're going to need stitches!

No it's not deep enough to die from. If it gets infected and is left long enough, who knows but it'd probably still take a while.

Oh. No it's not. You have to access an artery which is difficult because the radial artery in the wrist is protected by tons of different structures like nerves, tendons, and muscles. The femoral artery is even harder because it's well protected by thick layers of fat and muscle. The carotid artery is a no-go because it's extremely mentally difficult (also it is protected by muscle as well). So no. While your cuts are certainly deep, they're not nearly deep enough to die. It's a method that very rarely works (and in some cases where it does work, the person was in a psychotic episode)

edited to add: I seem a little callous, and I'm very sorry. I have deep empathy and really relate to deep self harm wounds- I myself have inflicted wounds on myself which looked like those.

Cutting is an ineffective suicide method with a low success rate.

A Caution About Drug Poisonings (ODs) and Cutting

Preamble I see a lot of posts on this forum mentioning drug poisoning and/or cutting/stabbing as a method of choice. I want to caution these methods for a few reasons. I respect the right to choose any method but I'm concerned that those using these methods may not be fully informed on the...

I see thanks so much

I regret clicking on that. My cuts never reached that deep. If you don't clean that up, you'll possibly get infections or gangrene. A word of advice, I regret cutting myself a few years ago as it's very difficult to cover it up, even during my time in university. I just hope you heal from the pain ASAP.

 

[pain6batch9]

This is painful to look at. This internal pain displayed outwardly. I don't know what to say except, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Edit: I can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through. I'm so sorry.

 

[dimgobaith]

It's not deep enough to die from, you may as well get those stitched. Dying from infection, sepsis or gangrene will be needlessly cruel to yourself

is it possible to stitch it myself since won't they just send me to the psyche ward?

Cutting is one of the most stupid and ineffective ways to achieve suicide.

okay, thanks so much!

All cutting really does is damage your ligaments and tendons limiting your mobility.
Even if you hit a major artery your body will go into shock and bottom out your blood pressure to try and stop you from bleeding out.
That's how so many people survive losing limbs, human body is a stubborn thing when it comes to dying.

Yeah, I stabbed myself and I couldn't walk for 6 months

Must have been bad to put you out that long, if you don't mind me asking was it accidental or intentional?

 

[Glenferd666]

Intentional

 

[Davey40210]

Please don't tell me that is your arm..?

 

[Ironborn]

Intentional

Takes a fierce will to do that, how is your leg now?

 

[Glenferd666]

It's fine now, this was a while ago. I had 22 stitches and my leg got infected. Just a huge scar now
Also I'm on mood stabilisers ( anti Psychotics ) I just feel incredibly blunt with hardly any emotions, so basically like a robot.

 

[sugarb]

Do not attempt via cutting, prescription drug OD, or starving/dehydration. Those methods all objectively suck. I understand it's rough to plan and etc but what you need to do if you're serious is look up lethality statistics and choose one of the top six (they are gun, drowning, hanging, jumping, gas, poison, iirc). There's a reason they work and why people choose them, consult the mega threads for each

Also please seek medical attention hon that's gonna hurt like a bitch in a bit

 

[FireFox]

Oh my god you need medical help NOW otherwise you are going to get permanent nerve damage in that arm or worst of all an infection where you could lose the arm.

@Plentiful_Despair I blame the movies for all this. The movies and TV shows make cutting look like an easy painless suicide method

In the Netflix show 13 reasons why one of the episodes shows Hannah Baker sucide. She went into a bath and slit her wrists. Netflix got into a lot of trouble showing such a graphic scene on a show for teenagers who will get ideas. Netflix eveuntaully removed the scene but it was too late because millions of teenagers world wide have seen the series

IT chapter 2 showed the character adult Stan killing himself using this method.

Every tv and movie show that shows cutting as a sucide method the characters all pass away easily. It is so irresponsible

 

[cutiepatootiew/rizz]

Please don't tell me that is your arm..?

uhm.. yes?

 

[Davey40210]

uhm.. yes?

Wow.. I can only imagine the mental anguish you must be going through to do that to your body... I am so sorry.

 

[kkamasal]

I have nothing to say if youre happy to hurt yourself but I think it's inefficient if youre doing it for the purpose of CTB
Im a little sad that you show selfharm

 

[soonatpeace777888]

Wow, should not have opened. Please seek medical treatment to avoid infection.

How deep you =/= how bad you are doing mentally. This type of rhetoric is what encourages other SHers to cut deeper in order to feel like their suffering is valid, so maybe let's not say stuff like that.

 

[Nihilities]

In short, cuts that deep are generally not life-threatening, especially in fattier areas where there is more space between the skin and important arteries.

There have been many people who cut all the way down to the muscle without death, and even some who used to do so almost regularly, although certain areas are more dangerous than others for obvious reasons. On the other hand, the risk of infection is rather high for cuts that go down to the fat layer and beyond, so I recommend getting stitches if possible and taking care of those cuts so that they can heal properly.

Ok. I'm sorry I'm new at this. I am just shocked that someone could do this to themselves. And here I am about to kill myself. But I could never dream of doing that. I think.

 

[EvisceratedJester]

To be honest, I feel like you specifically posted this for attention. If you have already cut that deep before then you should be fully aware of the fact that a cut that deep won't kill you. I'm not saying this to shame you or anything, as I understand that people seek out attention as a cry for help and to feel like their suffering is valid. Still, cutting, and SH in general, is a poor coping method so I'd suggest looking into some more healthier ones.
