General Medical Question - Urgent - Help!

[well]

Yeah, I had this posted in another forum but the people who responded said to move it here so the first aid people would see it.....

Umm.....weird....."situation." Okay, last night I cut-----totally zoned out and didn't feel it at all and it's pretty deep-----actually, thsi time there's 2 deep ones.....I had some sort of weird hospital "wound cleanser" (that I "borrowed" from my mom's work) so I don't have to worry about infection or anything, but they bled a lot and I got pretty dizzy afterward and fell asleep right away.....today when I woke up, I felt really weird.....like my brain was fuzzy.....and the whole day at work, I REALLY thought I was going to DIE-----like, I felt THAT bad. I felt sick to my stomach all day and kept getting terrible throbbing headaches and get dizzy. My stomach would be upset so I wouldn't want to eat anything, but then it started getting upset AND getting hungry so I would try to eat something but I would feel even SICKER, plus I would get dizzy all over again.....It didn't make it any better that I have to wear a sweater at work to cover my arms, so it was SO hot.....I got to take it off when I went outside to push carts back to the store, but it was 105 degrees out with no breeze whatsoever and I pushed heavy carts for 30 minutes, went inside to bag groceries for 30 more, and then had carts again for 30 minutes right after.....I seriously had to sit down outside because I thought for sure that I would either throw up or pass out and I still feel pretty bad.....I've been shaky all day and unsteady, having like, partial blackouts and being hot but shivering.....and then I had to put my sweater back on and pretend I was comfortable so no one would bother me about wearing it.....my friend said it sounded like I lost too much blood last night and that was what it was, but would it do all THAT?! I really need to know.....And does anyone know how you know if you DID bleed too much? .....She said that I should hold off for a few days to make sure I don't lose even more, but I really am almost positive that I can't.....I mean.....it's all I HAVE.....but I'm afraid that soon I'm going to go too deep.....I keep getting worse each time and I just can't STOP myself.....sometimes I don't know if I even WANT to keep from going too deep.....I can't take this anymore.

Your friend is right, it definitely sounds like you may have lost too much blood.

Everything you have listed are symptoms of excessive blood loss, and you should be treated by a doctor to make sure that there is no damage to your brain, heart or other organs from a lack of oxygen.

You should also try and refrain from SI as long as possible to prevent loosing any more blood. If you feel that you can't stop, then maybe you need to seek treatment to help.
