What to do when someone cuts their wrist?

I would consider taking her to a hospital before that happens.  They'll admit her if she is considered a threat to herself or others, and the cuts on her wrist would prove she is.  They can then get people to help her.  \n\nIf she does cut too deep, put pressure on the wound, and get her to the nearest ER immediately.

Yes you do need serious help! How can you slip your wrists????\nWe have all got problems in this life,....cutting ourselves dpesnt help us at ALL!!!!!\nFirst thing you should do is not go near you dads friend for  while and if he asks you anything just say that you didnt encourage her to do it ( which I guess is the truth..RIGHT?????)\nSecond you and your friend should stop 'CARVING' yourselves!!\nIf you have a prblem talk to your parents but if you're not the 'italktomyparents' type of person then talk to your friend!! (seeing as you both have a special friend connection ..COZ YOU CUT YOURSELVES TOGETHER!!!!!!). You could tell your friend your problems and she could tell you hers...be open and make sure the conversation between you two STAY between you two!.\nOh and one last thing.........I am a human being so I dont have the power to change people.........(if I could I would change soooooo many! ) so I cant change you if cutting yourself helps you live then do it...BUT NO TO DEEP!! AND NOT TO MUCH!!\n\nI have to confess I have also cut myself varios times! CALL ME EMO IF YOU WANT!! xDD

do small things and work your way up. Nasty pics won't help. If someone gets a cut and is bleeding don't run away. You don't have to stare at but stick around. Sit down when you see blood. Lean back against something when you see blood. If someone is bleeding (not life threatening of course) watch them bandage it. If you just can't stand it leave the room and come back. After a while offer to help bandage it. Try to not think of it as blood; more of a red liquid like kool-aid or something. I hope this helps. Good Luck!

I don't think it's bad for you, but it's not pleasant and your wrist might get very sore. I used it for a while to stop thinking about someone who hurt me a lot.  I just kept obsessing about him and read that snapping a rubber band against your wrist would help stop that.  It did help, and I sure didn't have to do it for long because IT HURTS!

Flip the script on her...tell her you are going to kill yourself. Or like everyone else is saying she needs to go to the hospital. On a personal note...I tried to kill myself almost a year a ago. If I was not drunk I probably wouldn't have hurt myself so deeply but I cut my wrist and cut nerves, arteries, etc. I had to have surgery. The medical bills alone is enough to realize ok that was dumb. I almost lost my hand and I only have partial use of my pinky because I cut the Ulnar nerve. What I realized through all of this is I didn't want to die, I just wanted things to get better and they do I promise! I seeked help, got on medication (which I was initially against) but it helped. People love you and you will only leave them in complete and utter pain if you took your own life. (This is to relay to your friend) You only have one life that you know about...so just make the best of it because your time will come. We don't come with a re-do button but we have a chance to make our lives better. Just think if you hit rock bottom the only way to go is up. I wish you all the luck, and love! Take Care.

keep your finger elavated above your head.  It gets less blood so it wont throb all night.  That a killer,  I broke four fingers once,  and OH the THROBBING!@

wear a good wrist brace, avoid using the hand and take ibuprofen.

The flesh that was cut off is dying because its blood supply was severed.  If it's not a large piece it's better to cut it off completely and let the wound scab over on its own.   The skin will heal eventually, but it will leave a scar because the knuckle is in constant motion and newly-grown skin can't adapt quickly.  You can see a doctor about it to ease your mind if necessary.

Soak your foot. WHen the skin swells, the splinter should pop out. DON"T put animal meat on your open wound, ever. Bacon fat!?! You might as well rub dog poop on there! Jeeze!

Don't panic\nHere's what I suggest you do.\n Grasp the trap's wooden base firmly. Have that grasp the whole of the wooden bottom from the underside. Now use your other hand (dominant hand), grasp the wire firmly and across a substantial length of it. \nGently but firmly pull the wire away from the wooden bottom. A little movement of the wire should be enough to free your lip.\nPut the trap down and now attend to your lip. Is it cut and bleeding? If it is the bleeding should be stopped first. Keep your head in a upward-looking attitude (you look toward the ceiling). Having the cut facing upward slows down blood flow, because the body uses more energy to pump uphill.\nDo not touch the cut. Allow the clotting sequence to start. After about five minutes or after bleeding has stopped get a tissue and wet it very thoroughly with water and a little fresh hydrogen pyroxide. (old peroxide loses its antiseptic activity).\nPat the cut area very gently to get some of the disinfecting liquid on the cut. It only needs a little, applied several times. Do not apply any pressure on the cut, or the clot will break and bleeding will recomence.\nMore likely, the skin has not been cut (breached). If that is the case, you should attend to swelling. Get An ice cube, place it into a small plastic bag and usae a twist tie.Wrap a thin handkercjief around the ice. Apply it to the lip trauma area. Cooling the area will reduce the swelling or inhibit some of the swelling from happening.\nIf the area gets uncomfortably cold remove the ice and allow the area to warm up. You may reapply the ice \nAlso, take a painkiller (analgesic), like aspirin. It will help you to avoid a tension headache. Also, an antihistamine will help to reduce some of the swelling.\nPlease ignore the cruel comments that have been posted. Most people care about others. Many more than those that are callous and cruel.\nAll of us have done some silly things in our lives. Some people are afraid to admit it.\nBest of luck,\nDan the Answers-Man.

again hun?! i cant believe u broke that promise again. u know there isnt a way we hav figured out to make it heal faster. this neosporn im reading doesnt work, we confirmed that one right? =]] and all this stop cutting u can hurt urself, well no duh, isnt that the point? to hurt so u actually feel sumthing? just make sure to keep it clean and i guess u could put neospron o if u want. since its on ur ribs and covered most of the time try and let it breathe wen no one is around so it will get the air, and sum sun would b good but i kno u dont go in the sun. so let it breathe and keep it clean. oh and just about that cutting kit idea i acutally finished mine. but the glass isnt very sharp. oh well its just for palms.  but urs, hide it so u can stop for a while, i'll hide it for u if u want. u need to stop for a while. just a while at least.

Im not going to be one of those people who will keep badgering you on cutting, but please dont do it,  i did it before and it nearly ruined my life. if you want to hide it....\n\nunder you watch, you can put like a bandanda under your watch (or a scarf if its a fancy watch) and then it will cover that.\n\nor if their not that bad, try cover up?

What is causing you or someone you know to cut?  You should probably confide in either a friend, relative, or health professional.  It's not easy, but it's worth it - for the sake of your body.  Listen to music, snap a rubberband around your wrist, write in a journal all the thoughts you are having when you want to cut....those are some things that have worked for people I know - good luck and take care!  Know that you aren't alone!!

curl your finger in when cutting. and always pay attention. i know it sounds stupid, but i work in a kitchen, and its always the times that my mind drifts that i happen to cut myself.
