that's strange. i don't have any explanation, but thought i'd respond to move this up on the board...

also, maybe you could post on the first aid forum?

Believe it or not, a lot of people experience this. I don't know why it happens, maybe someone will have an answer?

I don't have an answer, but I've had similar in the past, sometimes I bleed a lot, other times I barely bleed at all.
I suppose the body changes a lot?

I hope you are ok, and that you have taken care of the cut?

Britt2012 · 28-06-2012, 06:21 PM

Im fine and yeah I cleaned it and everything.

I'm not quite sure what the reason is or have any advice, but I just wanted to say that this used to happen to me extremely often. It was actually rarer for me to bleed a lot than to barely bleed, and I'm not sure why, since I did not cut any deeper or shallower than the previous times.

I'm tempted to say it might be something to do with the position of the veins/arteries, but I'm really not sure. I'm terrible at this sort of stuff.

I don't think it's anything serious though x

Britt2012 · 28-06-2012, 06:32 PM

Yeah I dont either, I think its just because Ive always only cut on my left wrist, Ive done it a few other places but thats mainly where. Maybe its all the scar tissue? I dont know, but Im fine now.

I find I bleed less when I cut over scars. So maybe thats it?

Britt2012 · 29-06-2012, 03:11 AM

Yeah I think so.

Well, there is a reason, but I'd rather not say; as it wouldn't be helpful or constructive.

I'd not worry about it.

MintSpaghetti · 29-06-2012, 05:29 AM

I realize that giving out the reason could easily turn into tipsharing ("don't do X because Y won't happen", yea that could get triggery)
but I get it.
It's the weirdest thing when it happens.
& with me, it'll usually scab over anyway, which is even more WTF

I doubt it's a "bad" thing, though.

Britt2012 · 29-06-2012, 12:38 PM

It did scab over but i get what youre saying with the dont do x because y wont happen stuff. Im not worried about it. Im fine now.

It's strange but I have also experienced this. You're not alone.

Are you okay?

Britt2012 · 30-06-2012, 02:48 AM

I'm fine for now.
