Well they wouldnt sotp bleeding, so i had to tie cloth REALLY tigh around both my legs to keep them from bleeding everywhere. this morning i took the clothe off to get dressed and they started bleeding right there, all over again. so i put these hug bandaids on, and just checked to mkae usre tyd stopped, i pull off he band aid, and they started bleeding! If there snt pressure on them they just start bleeding all over. what do i do? -- Posted by UltimaTaz at 1:06 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 You go back in time and realize how utterly pointless cutting is. -- Posted by maceyface at 1:06 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 keep pressure on them? -- Posted by zoeedee at 1:06 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 go doctors you might of like cut a nerve or sumthing and maybe stop cutting would be a good idea? -- Posted by Suicidebooth at 1:07 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 don't cut Hun its not good for you talk about your problems -- Posted by Chocolate Thunda at 1:07 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 You keep the bandage on, after you clean them and put triple anti-biotic on them. Then you march your ass to the doctors and get a psychological evaluation. Then you attend therapy once a week. That's what you do. -- Posted by redhotchilis64 at 1:07 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Sounds like you picked the short straw... a hemophiliac cutter? -- Posted by forfallonyy at 1:07 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 doctor -- Posted by LittleBombs at 1:08 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Just keep the pressure on them, the bleeding will stop eventually. The cuts just need time to heal. -- Posted by Taylor636Baker at 1:08 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 You need to go to the doctor -- Posted by mandieelovess at 1:08 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 It's not pointless, hate to break it to you... "UltimaTaz" Keep a cloth tied tight. They will begin to heal by tommorow. Keep the cloth on over night. Wash it before you put the cloth on though. -- Posted by LittleBombs at 1:09 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from YellowDuckie at 1:07 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 You keep the bandage on, after you clean them and put triple anti-biotic on them.

Don't be mean, it's an addiction just like any other. I went through the same thing. Just keep bandaids on them.. I guess that's all you can do. -- Posted by Chocolate Thunda at 1:10 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from LittleBombs at 1:09 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from YellowDuckie at 1:07 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 You keep the bandage on, after you clean them and put triple anti-biotic on them.

Yeah, because that's what I was implying. A psychological evaluation will determine what's wrong with her and how to treat it. Like depression. But thank you for assuming that's what I meant. -- Posted by bananawhore at 1:10 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 thanks :/ -- Posted by cutieelise at 1:10 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 i got told if it doesnt stop bleeding  after 20 min u should go doctors or to the hospital to get it cheecked out -- Posted by UltimaTaz at 1:11 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from NikkiMikki at 4:09 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from UltimaTaz at 1:06 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 You go back in time and realize how utterly pointless cutting is.

Cutting is a way to let anger out. One of the many fucking ways but it's so damn popular, the majority of people only do it because they read or heard about it. Out of all the self mutilation techniques, cutting is the most pointless. Biting, scratching, assault, none of that is even MENTIONED -- Posted by Monroe at 1:11 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from UltimaTaz at 1:06 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 You go back in time and realize how utterly pointless cutting is. This. Why cut and then NOT expect them to bleed, seriously? It's just like nicking your leg when you shave, takes forever to stop. Don't be so ignorant next time? I mean, really, where did it get you? What good did it do? -- Posted by Chocolate Thunda at 1:12 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from UltimaTaz at 1:11 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from NikkiMikki at 4:09 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from UltimaTaz at 1:06 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 You go back in time and realize how utterly pointless cutting is.

Out of all the self mutilation techniques, cutting is the most pointless. Biting, scratching, assault, none of that is even MENTIONED I fully agree with you. It is a way to let out anger and it unfortunately is a way to get attention. After I finished doing it I would feel even shittier because I just wasted half the goddamn day doing what? -- Posted by LittleBombs at 1:14 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from YellowDuckie at 1:10 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from LittleBombs at 1:09 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from YellowDuckie at 1:07 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 You keep the bandage on, after you clean them and put triple anti-biotic on them.

Of course it's not going to get better immediately. It takes time and for most of us we deal with it all our lives. So no, it's not a quick fix but it's a push in the right direction. You have to WANT to get better bad enough that you make a huge effort. And it is a huge effort. So thanks for AGAIN assuming that I was insulting her and calling her crazy and then acting like getting over it is easy. Perhaps you just want something to argue about. -- Posted by JTHM at 1:25 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from LittleBombs at 4:14 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from YellowDuckie at 1:10 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from LittleBombs at 1:09 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from YellowDuckie at 1:07 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 You keep the bandage on, after you clean them and put triple anti-biotic on them.

Just because it didn't work for a friend of your does not make cutting and pretending the problem doesn't exist an acceptable action. I spent years cutting and causing various other harm to myself because of my undiagnosed depression. Finding someone that I could trust, who was willing to give me an objective opinion helped me immensely. I'm not crazy, nor have I ever been, but I found a ridiculous means of distracting myself from my problems, and continued cutting for years. Have you yet considered that your friend might not be interested in being evaluated and/or finding aid? Those who do not desire any sort of help often find themselves mutilating themselves over and over again. Do not dissuade the OP from receiving proper medical care just because a friend of yours did not change his or her behavior. OP: If the wounds do not stop bleeding soon, go to the doctor. You may not have cut deeply or done anything that you may consider entirely drastic, but it is not worth losing a serious amount of blood. Place pressure on everything, through the bandages, and gently elevate your legs above your heart. This should stop or slow the bleeding. If it does not slow or stop entirely, seek immediate medical attention. -- Posted by LittleBombs at 1:25 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from YellowDuckie at 1:18 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from LittleBombs at 1:14 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from YellowDuckie at 1:10 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from LittleBombs at 1:09 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from YellowDuckie at 1:07 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 You keep the bandage on, after you clean them and put triple anti-biotic on them.

I've read so much about this stuff it's swimming round in my head all day. I also know it's possible to overcome it yourself. And that is something I'd rather do than sit explaining myself to someone who doesn't even care as long as they are getting paid. -- Posted by LittleBombs at 1:27 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from romeobebe91 at 1:20 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from mandieelovess at 1:08 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 It's not pointless, hate to break it to you...

What do you accomplish by cutting? Nothing. You want attention. Thats it. Please. READ up on all this.

And that is something I'd rather do than sit explaining myself to someone who doesn't even care as long as they are getting paid. I've never had a therapist who didn't care just because they were getting paid. In fact, I've only had one who gets paid. My last therapist worked for volunteer program and I had her for three years. The one I have now doesn't make near as much as most. He only makes around $30 while the one down the street makes $150. I'm sure there are some out there who do that, but they don't last very long. -- Posted by LittleBombs at 1:32 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from JTHM at 1:25 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from LittleBombs at 4:14 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from YellowDuckie at 1:10 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from LittleBombs at 1:09 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from YellowDuckie at 1:07 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 You keep the bandage on, after you clean them and put triple anti-biotic on them.

They SHOULD get help, cause it might actually work for them. I am just telling it how it is. It just sounded to me as if you were scoffing at the notion of anyone seeking help. I apologize if I've misunderstood, but it certainly came off as such. It took me years, while still fully in a depression, to find a therapist that I liked and trusted, but it is not an impossible task. Depression is a far more deeply dimensional than many people will understand, but it is not at all impossible to end. There is a very good chance that the depression experienced by your friend is either coupled by, or caused by various other mental ailments. This doesn't label anyone as being "crazy," but Depression is very often bred from other illnesses. I was not looking for an argument, but the air of dissuasion I felt from your post was something I felt deserved a response. As I said, I apologize if I misunderstood what you were trying to say. As I said prior to this, the OP should place pressure on the wounds and elevate them gently above her heart (laying down flat and stacking a few pillows underneath should suffice), effectively lessening the blood pressure in her legs and allowing a greater chance for the cuts to clot efficiently.
