Wound Care - Cut might be a bit too deep

[LittleVampp]

I cut myself today and I am a bit worried about it!! Its still bleeding and it has been like 5 hours and its still bleeding quite bad I have raped it up and putting pressure on it (well as much as I can) but it is starting to really go numb and sort of throb (sorry about the spelling) I scared about going to the doctors or the hospital because I dont know what they will was. What should I do???

You need to get the wound checked out.
If it is still bleeding, it may need to be stitched closed to help it heal and to prevent infection.
The numbness shows that you have done some damage to the area. Get the wound looked a as soon as you can. Hospital is probably thebest place.
Try not to e scared about going. They will look at the wound and assess it. They may ask you a few questions regarding how you did it and if you are getting help with it. If your not getting help they may ask if you want some support.

Either way, they cant judge you. And they cant tell you off! They are there to help you.

Take care

No, sorry it cant. If it is till bleeding it needs to be seen as soon as possible. B Saturday it could be infected, or you could have lost to much blood to even be able to move.

Can you not tell your family that you are going to a friends house? Then they wouldnt need to know until you where read to tell them.

You can pm me with the sizes of your wound, i may be able to advise better. But ultimatey, i think that it will be hospital im afraid.

I know its scary,but it is better than doing permant damage to yourself. Losing lots of blood can have all kinds of effects on our organs. Please seek help.
