General Medical Question - Urgent - NEED ADVICE

[pea soup]

since my father died i have reverted to my old ways of coping.
i cut yesterday and got stitches.
i cut again tonight but if i go to the ER they will lock me away.
the cut is very deep....the inside of my arm is showing
its also a few inches long.
i taped it together as best i could and bandaged it.
i will keep antibiotic on it and keep it clean.
my sis is a nurse and she looked at it and said i could lose my arm. that freaked me out a bit.
i honestly didnt meant to cut deep. i didnt even feel it. but i lost massive amounts of blood and now im quite dizzy.

i know you will say go to the ER but i just cant be locked away again.
is there anything more i can do than ive already done?

thank you.

No, you need to go to the hospital. You should listen to your sister becuase she is right. The cut is too deep for antibiotic cream, it sounds like you definitely need stitches and you may even need some IV fluids because of the blood loss.

They may not place you in a psych hold if you go. If the do it will be to protect you. Since your sister is a nurse they may allow you to be released under her care, but you won't know unless you go to the hospital, which you really really need to do. I can't stress to you enough how important it is for you to get checked out.
