I`m sorry for posting but I`ve SIed really badly on my wrist blood spurting out of it also took an Od and been drinking please help me.

I think you should phone an ambulance hun. Is the blood bright red? Properly spurting?
Actually doesn't matter..you've taken an Od and cut badly..you need to get to hospital...NOW.
Please phone 999..

Undomiel 28-04-2008 09:59 PM

Sweetie...have you phoned?
I cut my wrist badly like this before...you NEED to get it treated!
Also for the OD but more for the blood loss right now...
Please..

Undomiel 28-04-2008 10:00 PM

Yes you probably are. Keep direct pressure on the wound. try to stay calm...keep breathing. I'm sorry if I've paniced you.
Keep your arm raised above your head if you can.

Ok, keep pressure on your wrist and elevate it above your heart. If it doesn't stop bleeding after 10 minutes of pressure and/or is gaping (the sides don't touch) it will need medical treatment.

With an OD, phone the NHS direct and tell them what you've taken etc, and see if you need medical treatment.

Undomiel 28-04-2008 10:03 PM

If the blood is bright red and it's spurting..sweetie that means you've probably hit your artery..tell them that on the phone.
let us know if you can but concentrate on phoning and staying calm...

hunny you need to phone 999.

Animad 28-04-2008 10:37 PM

How are you now?

It's probably best for you to get an ambulance. By the sounds of it you are very confused and as you have put pressure on the wound and it is still heavily bleeding it needs to get seen. Along with the cut the OD is never a good thing. Don't go to sleep, you could be tired because of going into shock/bloodloss/the OD.
