This is very descriptive, so please be warned.
I don't know why I did it...that's not what I'm worried about right now. But tonight I did it deeper than I ever have before...I can see in the wound the fat and way down beneath, my main artery. By the grace of God, I didn't hit that artery, so I didn't bleed out. One centimeter deeper and I would have had to go to the hospital. But I'm so scared, you guys...the wound (just one) is half an inch wide and two inches across my wrist. It's open even though this happened two hours ago. I wrapped it up as best I could. I'm scared though that I'm going to need stitches  I know that it's my fault, I did it to myself, but I had NO idea it would be this bad. I can't tell my parents - I don't want to scare them and if I go to the hospital, they'll admit me, I know they will. Do you think it will close up and heal on its own? I'm so scared -- I need my T right now, but her mysterious absense is the reason I did this ("Missing T?" thread in Psychotherapy forum).Thank you for any help you guys can offer...I hope this wasn't too much so that the thread gets taken down....

Hugs. Oh Indie, my heart breaks for the pain you must be in to get to where you are. Please, it sounds serious enough to need a Dr to look at it. Better safe than sorry. Please find a way to have a health care professional (Dr, Nurse...) look at it.

I agree, that sounds like you need stitches. I'm sorry you're so scared, but this is not something to mess around with. Good luck!

Thank you guys, i'm ok now. I was going to call a hotline but I chickened out and told my mom instead. We are waiting now for the nurse to dress the wound. I got7 stitches. I have to see a new therappist who is better trained to handle this stuff. Luckily they didn't keep me here. Thank you again guys, I will keep you updated.

I'm very glad you got help. I didn't get help for a bad cut that happenned 12 days ago (accidental) and it wound up getting badly infected. I wound up being on oral antibiotics for 5 days IV antibiotics for 8 days and now I have to be back on oral antibiotics for another 7 days. And I have to bathe it in salt water twice a day. Bad cuts are nothing to mess around with.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
