Bugger bugger i'm kinda drunk, a bottle of wine in, a slashed my arm with a razor, not unusual for me but it was very deep, I don't really know what to do, it's not hit a vain but I can see gaping fat from my arm, it won't stop bleeding, I tried to use plasters to kinda close it up a bit, but it's bleeding through the plasters, it's only about half a centimeter wide, about 2 inches long? What should I do? I packed tissue over the plasters and then put a tube bandage over it, don't say go to the hospital, I cna't, I'm at home with my parents and their friend, just been getting a bit drunk with them and I dont want them to know, and don't say I need help because I know it. It's bleeding more becuase i'm drunk. Help people? What do I do?!

And if there's nothing more I can do about it, can I take sleeping pills (Nytol) to knock me out so I can deal with it in the morning sober?

I know you said you can't go to the hospital but you should. But what you can do for now is take bandaids, secure it on one side then squeeze the cut together then place the other side of the bandage on the otherside as you squeeze it closed. This will cause it to slow the bleeding and close it for now. You can use stronger tape if you would like to just mack sure it is closed all the way. Oh and MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN IT WELL BEFORE DOING THE ABOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sounds to me like you would need stitches. Untill then you need to place a sterile dressing on the area. Apply direct pressure for a few minutes to control bleeding. Once that is under control wash the wound with soap and water. After you have washed the area hold it under clean running tap water for about 5 minutes. Apply triple antibiotic to the site. Cover it again with a sterile bandage.

If you'd rather risk bleeding to death or getting an infection rather than telling your parents and going to the ER, that's your choice I guess. I think that's pretty stupid, though.

i think you should stop coming to the interenet for attention, first. that's a real problem you got into there, sweetheart. your only option is to really go to the hospital, but since you probably didn't even cut yourself and you're probably not drunk you should find some friends and get some counseling.

Get to the emergency room ASAP. Don't risk bleeding to death. Hope everything turns out ok. And please stop that :(
