How exactly is it more dangerous to cut "down the road" than across the street?


-- Posted by Seanee at 10:38 am on Oct. 5, 2008

Down the road you mean, down your arm right? Not some street.

Why do you ask?

If you need help, then see a counsellor/doctor ASAP.

I'm not looking up any fucking photobucket shit, it's a saying I've always heard. Dumbass

it all depends on how deep... but down the road makes it so that your vein can't be repaired... which is never a good idea...


-- Posted by DirtyConspiracy at 10:40 am on Oct. 5, 2008

Because you might cut right down a main artery and therefore bleed faster? I don't know, I never quite understood these self-harm sayings.


-- Posted by reev at 10:40 am on Oct. 5, 2008

the veins in your wrists/arms run vertically, not horizontally.


-- Posted by CarolineLouise at 10:41 am on Oct. 5, 2008

It's down the river or across the bridge haha
but if you cut down you're more likely to cut a vein all the way down
across you just get a little bit of it


-- Posted by Religious Suicide at 10:41 am on Oct. 5, 2008

going down you can split more then a little part of the artery if you do at all going across so your more likely to prob kill yourself doing it

BULLSHIT

Just think about it for yourself. They are both as dangerous as each other.

Cutting down your arm means that its a bigger cut, could be deep, could get a vein or somewhere vital like that.. therefore you bleed more.

Cutting across the wrist means that it could be a very very deep cut, which could reach your artery.. then you could bleed to death in seconds.


-- Posted by marshey14 at 10:42 am on Oct. 5, 2008

because it's cutting down you're vains, and all you're blood would come. So you would like die in a matter of seconds if you cut straight down the vain, that's why it's more dangerous

also  bleed faster, so down the road is an easier/faster/more likely to die from.

Assuming usually emos cut across the street to have the scars or w.e ?
