Method Is slashing your wrists an actual method or is it bs

[LonelyPrince]

Just wondering because thanks to this site I've discovered that a bunch of methods that "normies" ( i cant think of a better word i'm sorry ) think lead to suicide are actually just ineffective: like dying from an overdose for example.

No. It's very unlikely that you'll ctb just from slashing your wrists, you'd have to cut really deep to bleed enough (the goal being to slash the arteries at the radialis et ulnaris) and it's very difficult to do so because the pain is excruciating to overcome and it's possible you go into shock before you get to do so. Even if you somehow get to the arteries, you're not guaranteed death. It's unnecessarily painful and certainly inefficient.
Cheers!

Nope. Pretty much the only way to die via cutting yourself is to open up an artery. And to do that you'd need a good grasp on your anatomy a very strong will, a high pain tolerance and no (or limited) survival instinct. You'd have to apply a lot of force. Most people simply can't manage it.

Yeah, I had a feeling. Thanks for the info

Yeah I can't imagine someone actually succeeding. Seems excruciatingly painful.

It's possible to die from it, however, it's extremely ineffective and hard to pull off. And, your artery isn't the only important thing in your wrist. Your tendon sits there too, so if you cut that and don't CTB, you'll likely lose the ability to move part of your arm + the hand that's on the arm you cut. It's a really unpredictable and ineffective method that is only really used in movies and media.

Yeah, it's very used in media. People legitimately think that as a method along with overdosing. I saw someone making a final video before attempting where they claimed they would be slashing their wrists to die and ofc they didn't. It made me think how many methods people believe would actually work without doing any research and going based off of media.

you've been here 6 months you really should know the answer.

I don't know. I tried and failed. Instead I ended up traumatising myself further. The memories of that day still haunt me and it was years ago

No that's more of a minor self harm thing. You can't die from it unless you do it deep

You could have just not answered if you thought my question was that stupid. I just never saw anyone talk about it. Thanks for the reply xoxo

There is a pinned thread on non-methods. It can work but HIGHLY unlikely. Only way for it to work is if you cut an artery.

There's a wealth of information on it. You know how to work a search bar, right?

What if I just felt like asking instead? I apologize sir if this thread wasted your time but you decided to answer. You sound like those smart-ass redditors holy.

If you'd bothered to read the rules, it states to use the search feature because your question may have been asked many times before. So no, you haven't wasted my time, because next time you'll use your head and hit the search bar first, and spare us the same old repeats.
