First of all, go see a doctor, because this cut could get infected, etc., and this could be very dangerous. If the bleeding is very severe, I'd even suggest going to the hospital to get treatment-- call the paremedics if your injuries are so bad that you can't get yourself there.

I doubt that this is your #1 concern right now, but for the future, if you are a kid you may want to call the Kids Help Line for counselling; if you are older, or even if you prefer it to the Kids Help Line, you can call 1-800-DONTCUT a national help line for people who self-mutilate. There is also the (336) 723-TEEN Teen Line, which can also help.

I know that it can be difficult to overcome this problem (I've had dificulties with anorexia and self-mutilation myself), but I truly Truly TRULY encourage you to please try your best to contact these help lines so that you can stop. On the website http://www.teenline.ws/self_mutilation.html, there is a section I think you should read, called "How do I help myself?" It includes the following points, which I have copied out for you here, but I'd recommend for you to visit the website yourself, because it could really help.

If you're feeling mad, frustrated, or restless - try and activity that is physical and violent, but not towards yourself and others:
* Slash old clothes, a plastic bottle, or paper
* Hit a punching bag or pillow
* Hit a pillow against the wall
* Rip up a newspaper or old phone book
* Cut or smash play-doh or clay models
* Throw ice against a brick wall
* Break sticks
* Go jogging (Or any sports at all! Playing sports releases endorphins, which makes you happy. Plus, it releases energy and aggression :)

If you want to see blood - try an activity that mimics blood:
* Paint yourself with red tempera paint
* Make red colored ice with food coloring (about 6 or 7 drops per cube) and waters and mark on yourself with the ice
* Take a small bottle of liquid red coloring and press the tip against place you want to cut (you can warm it by putting in cup of hot water for a few minutes)


Personally, I don't like the idea of mimicing blood, because I think that if you are trying to stop, you should improve your self-esteem and get right to the root cause. However, some people tell me that imitating blood when you want to cut yourself, at first, can really help (like Nicotine with smoking). In any case, please try your best to stop. No matter what happens or what other people tell you, you are NOT worthless and you DON'T deserve the pain and sadness-- a valuable lesson that took me a while to learn.

Good luck, and best wishes!!! Come back and tell me how you're doing soon!

I suggest that you go to the hospital, have them clean it up really well, then stitch it if it needs to be stitched.
