I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside. ~ Girl Interrupted

Hi there Angel,
If you would like to PM with:
All items highlighted in RED are to be discussed about ONLY in email and PM to the First Aid Team ONLY
Cuts - Location (Email or PM only)
- Size (Depth, length, and width)
- Problem (Why you need help)
- How long ago they where made
- What they where made with (Email or PM only)
- Problem (Why you need help)
- What treatment has been received (either at home or the hospital)
Stopping Severe Bleeding
Wash your hands well with soap and water. Put on medical gloves or place several layers of fabric or plastic bags between your hands and the wound.
Elevate the site that is bleeding.
Remove any visible objects from the surface of the wound. Do not attempt to clean out the wound.
Press firmly on the wound with a clean cloth or the cleanest material available. If there is an object deep in the wound, apply pressure around the object, not directly over it.
Apply steady pressure for a full 15 minutes. Don't peek after a few minutes to see if bleeding has stopped. If the bleeding does not seem to be slowing down during this time, call 999/911 or seek other emergency services immediately. Continue to apply pressure to the wound. If blood soaks through the cloth, apply another cloth without lifting the first one.
If possible apply ice or very cold towel to the wound.
If severe bleeding decreases after you apply pressure for 15 minutes, but minimal bleeding starts again once you release the pressure, apply direct pressure to the wound for another 15 minutes. Direct pressure may be applied up to 3 times (total of 45 minutes) for minimal bleeding. If bleeding (more than just oozing small amounts of blood) continues after 45 minutes of direct pressure, call a health professional.

Now we all have a great need for acceptance, but you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your own, even though others may think them odd or unpopular, even though the herd may go.
pathetic

lots of pressure, hold it over your head, if you feel super dizzy or sick or it doesnt stop bleeding after 20 minuets, its hospital time.

On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
