Opinions on slitting wrists?

[broken._.]

I really want to cbt by slitting my wrists but I don't know yet....I would really like opinions

 

[Ghastly]

nah, definitely my last choice. it's very painful, you can fuck it up and live (as a vegetable), it's graphic for whomever finds you, and sometimes the rush that comes with it is enough for you to freak out and abort.

It's usually done impulsively, for those that plan out and want to really die, this is not the method most take.

That said, why are you leaning to exsanguination? Any particular reason? It's readily available, yes, and requires no planning really.

 

[lemmeeleev]

I would highly suggest not doing that. The chances of dying from slitting your wrists is not good. You should look into some of the other methods on here.

 

[Empty Smile]

Don't. Just don't.

You have to be able to cut deep enough and withstand the excruciating pain that comes with it.

Im pretty young and have a lot of attempts that have failed. My family watches me like a hawk so its hard for me to get things I need for other methods, blades are easy to get to and I like seeing the blood come out of me

thanks that's really helpful. Any methods you prefer?

Slitting wrists is popular in Hollywood movies, but not very effective.

If you really feel you must use exsanguination, go for one of the big arteries: the femoral or the brachial. Much more effective.

ah so it's an issue of accessibility? there are other methods that are easily obtainable, check out the handbook on here. I also totally relate to liking the image/feeling of blood coming out. Surreal and it's like someone's pulling the life out of you.

Thank you! I appreciate the help.

I personally prefer the CO method, which is what I'm going with.

I'm a cutter, so I know how you feel about blood. Blades are my backup only though coz I've never cut that deep and idk if I physically can.

ive cut extremely deep and I think I could've bled out if I wasn't caught

You would have only bled out if you managed to slice a major artery.

 

[therhydler]

The chances of dying from slitting your wrists are 6% but who knows, maybe you are in that 6% who make it. I would not advise it but maybe it is your method if you have no problem with cutting really deep. Just remember blood clots to prevent blood loss and cuts will want to close up so it's really tricky

 

[Help_Me]

Please, don't do that, bro. This is tremendously painful and unfortunately useless. In case you literally have no choice and extremely brave, look for bigger arteries, like femoral. If you somehow will be able to cut femoral, just let the blood flow and make sure there is nobody to save you and prevent blood streaming. Up to 1-2 minutes of such kind of bleeding and it is impossible to rescue a person ...

Cutting your wrists is one of the worst ways to go. Ridiculously painful and easy to mess up, not to mention it takes a long time to die. You need to slice both arteries in your arms (it's possible to die from only slicing one but it takes longer) which is hard, especially when you're trying to use an already sliced arm to cut the other one. It's usually so painful you can't even cut the other arm open, which reduces chances of success even more. Also, for whoever finds you (whether you're still alive or succeeded, which is a tiny chance) it's going to be traumatic and horrible for them. Ultimately, you're much more likely to end up horribly scarred and in a psych ward than dead.

Have you looked into other methods? I'm planning on the tourniquet method and it's pretty easy to get materials for that -you can use say, a pair of tights and a spoon, a scarf and a pencil, etc.

I tried this 25 years ago. No internet info. I did it the wrong way, hurt like hell and I still have the scars to remind me of it.

 

[MsM3talGamer]

Forget the TV series "13 reasons why" where she makes slitting your wrists look easy. It's one of the worst methods, likely to fail and leave you with damage to your tendons and other structures in your arms. I've heard about people needing reconstructive surgery afterwards. Not recommended whatsoever.

6% lethal rate...

considering this number wrist slitting is more a cry for help than a serious suicide attempt in many (ofc not all) cases

however i heard that if you cut some blood vessels at the leg its pretty fast over..havent really looked into it though

 

[hunter_lewis]

Not a good idea. You will not die, there will be a huge bloody mess and they will put you in the hospital and then the psych ward for a long while if you do this.

 

[Vegrau]

Jump is whole lot better than that.

Yeah this is the worst part, you're likely to fail and also will end up even worse off in a hospital - making any future attempt more difficult. There's an irony in the poorly planned method leaving you even more miserable. I'd suggest doing something like jumping as said above, it requires little planning and you'll die if done from the proper height.
