Well I know you don't want to hear this, but the way you described your cut it sounds like you need to see a doctor FAST. Severed nerves and veins are serious, and can cause permanent damage. Does the area around your cut feel numb? If so, please get help for that first and foremost. If it's really bad, you could lose the feeling in (wherever you cut) or even control of that area.
I went to the hospital once for a very deep cut I inflicted on myself, and I just told the nurse the truth (I had to because the cut was surrounded by so many others). She brought a psychiatrist in who asked me questions, and I was still honest (because I think I really wanted help then), and they sent me to a psychiatric hospital for about a week.
I know that might sound really scary, but from there you could maybe get counseling, medication, the help you need. Before I left that hospital they gave me prescriptions for a generic form of Prozac and something that takes away the endorphin rush you get from cutting.
So, basically what I'm saying...is that help is just down the street. It's not fun help, and it's a bit frightening, but I'm really glad I decided to go to the hospital when I did.

When you cut that deep then it is best to go see a DR or an ER to get it looked at and stitched up. You have up to at least 12 hours to get it looked after for a deep cut that needs stitches but I am not sure how long it would be for you to still get that looked at.
My question to you is, is it still bleeding and does it hurt really bad where you cut? Keep an eye on it and perhaps get it checked out. You could of perhaps also severed a ligiment causing you to lose some moter functions in that area, very serious stuff.

You've come to the right place. What would you like to hurt. All, piece work, or just a little severing of parts. Rusty blades, catheters, open wounds with lemon juice and 99 proof. Needle inserts with voltage. What really turns you on. If you looking for mental abuse, date my niece. It all runs in this family. Sorry, what was the problem again. You severed a nerve, hmm, well you have others., blood will grow back, but since your demented, and inefficient, you should talk either to a shrink, or a butcher. Yawn, let me know how it comes out, if you can. Could you , or do you take orders for the video.

oh dear that is awful! God hurts when you do. You must do some spiritual learning, read your bible and you will find great comfort there. You also need to look in your area for a support group. I f you feel ashamed a cannot talk with a family member then please get into church. You will not be judged ther only loved and helped. I will pray for you! You also must realize that you may have a slight chemical imbalance in your brain that makes you want to hurt yourself do not be afraid to take medicine if it is prescribed for you. Just dont let people say you are crazy or such you are not! You do need help and i hope you can find it soon before yu damage yourself bad.

I think that you should see a doctor to check on your injuries. I think you should also pray for guidance. God has gotten me through a lot of dark times in my life, and I know that he has given me the strength and hope to get me to the point where I am today (which is completely happy and totally depression-free). Also, you should seek therapy and tell a close friend or a few close friends. Your therapist will monitor your progress and work on the psychological aspects to self-harm, but it's also important for your friends to know so that they can support you and watch out for you in stressful times.
I have a few close friends with major issues and it's important for me to know what's going on with them so I can support them in the best way possible. Also, friends can help you discuss and resolve issues that may get raised through therapy.
Best of luck to you. Having a multi-tiered support system is really important because it ensures that all facets of this problem are being addressed. You will be supported physically, psychologically, socially and spiritually.

It's always hard telling people about your Self-injury. My first thought would be your counselor at school, but they'll just tell your parents anyway. So, maybe start with them? Parents usually overreact though, which is why it's so hard. You could always print off a bunch of stuff about SI.. highlight certain things.. and just hand it to them. Make them understand.
If you need to talk, please email me. I'm in the same place you are.

Talk to someone you trust completely and when ever you feel like cutting yourself go do something to distract you or call a friend.

Please do not hurt yourself anymore or you'll live with the scars forever that constantly haunt you. if you find it hard to talk to someone, then talk to someone like me whom u do not know and perhaps you feel safer to confide in me since we are not acquainted? That moment of blood loss could kinda calm your urge to hurt yourself but it's the cleaning up that you have to face later and it's not worth to lose your life when you yourself know that you need and wanted to talk to someone?

wow, its crazy hearing that from other people...but anyhow i think you need to talk to god first of all, if you believe in god you should know that if you kill yourself you're going to hell...another thing is that your life is the most beautiful thing that god has given you, i know times may be hard but its not worth taking your life away, think about it other people are having worser problems then you right now and are strong and i know you can be strong too, jus believe in yourself and look for positive people in your life...only then can you be sorrounded by good people that can give you good advice..talk to your loved one like your mom or your dad depending on wich one you feel most comfortable with, honestly not to sound mean or anything, if you kill yourself its not going to change a thing, yeah people will cry and mourn over your death but then 6 months later its back to normal again, and then what was the whole purpose of you killing yourself...be strong and pray to god, he always listens as much as you think he dont...but he works with you if you open your heart out to him, talk to him and ask him for strength, and leave all your problems in his hands..he will take them away for you....but only if you seek him with an open heart...this is coming from someone who doesnt go to church but has faith in god and believe in him, and he has helped me a whole bunch when i was doing the exact same thing that your doing to yourself now...ok....god bless you and take care of yourself...and if you ever need someone to talk to just look for me in here im dat_sweetmami....hope i helped in anyway..
