i heard you cant die from cutting your wrists.. is that true?

Well, you can die if you cut them correctly and actually manage to bleed out enough. Mostly its attempted by young ladies who will quit after the first partial cut, because it hurts and they have a second thought. In cases where the person actually manages to cut both wrists, they pass out and the bleeding stops pretty much on it's own. That's not to say they aren't in bad shape from the blood loss, but still alive. I have only had one sucessful suicide in my career who cut their wrists. The artery which supplies the hand is not really that large, and it's difficult to cut completely. What usually gets cut is the vein, and the amount of blood lost usually seems to convince the person they have done enough. They lose enough to pass out, and are found. So although it is a possibitlity, it's not a good one. Which is why determined suicides choose other methods.

Well it is believed that if you slice your wrists laterally (across the wrists) that after about 15-20 mins the blood will clot unless you are in a tub of warm water, now if you were to slice your arm open longitudely (the length of your forearm) it is said that even if you are found the possibility of stopping the bleeding is usually unsucessful unless some uses a tornique! If your feeling suicidal and need help and dont feel like telling a family member or friend, please find your way to the nearest Emergency Room and tell them you need to be committed for a short time due to suicidal thoughts. Tell them it's to protect yourself. They wont keep you in a padded room. They will just have someone keep an eye on you and give you something to help you sleep. Then possible get you the professional help that you need!

Suicide is an eternal answer to a non everlasting subject. life would not might desire to be as undesirable because it style of feels. What seems insupportable top now will look like a minor glitch in a while. You owe it to your self and your toddler to artwork by way of this. first concern you may desire to do is see a doctor approximately your despression and ideas of suicide. This iwll basically worsen in case you do no longer seek for help. There are ant-depressants obtainable that are secure to take jointly as pregnant. they might additionally help you with materials/help. top now you at the instant are not thinking of course as you're very dissatisfied and emotional (that's merely intensified by way of the being pregnant). call your well being practitioner interior the morning and demand to be considered immediatly. tell them what you sense. For what it extremely is worth, you do no longer prefer a guy on your life that might assist you boost a baby. there are hundreds of ladies folk obtainable elevating a baby without the help of a companion. it extremely is complicated despite the fact that if that's accomplished. do no longer provide up!!!

WRONG!

If someone cuts the wrists such that their blood leaks out they are going to die. If a person gets cut at any place where they bleed heavily they could die if not treated properly.

be advised...............

Cutting in itself isn't necessarily fatal.

How deep you cut is what could kill you.

There are important veins in your wrists, that if cut to deep, could make you bleed to death.

I've been cutting for 9 years, don't recommend starting it.

I love your icon picture btw! <3

I have read the responses you have got from this question and I find it very interesting. I am not sure why a question like this would come in your head. I think you should talk to your parents or your doctor or a counselor about this. And I think you should do it as soon as possible. I am very concerned about someone asking a question like this. Please talk to someone about your thought on this matter right away. Good Luck

Of course you can die that way. You die from the loss of blood not from the area it comes out. If you manage to lose enough blood from any wound you will die.

You can die from ex-sanguination any time there is uncontrolled bleeding that is not stopped. So if I told you that the blue lines in your wrist are veins or arteries, could you answer your own question?

You can die from piercing any artery, everytime your heart beats blood is pumped to the cut and out of your body. Unlike a scratch, artery punctures don't clot, so within 15 mins if you don't receive medical attention you're dead. So no, your statement is complete and utter bs.

It's statistically unlikely. Check out alt.suicide.holiday.

It's a very controversial website that offers suicide methods to people wishing to extinguish themselves and the success rate of each method. Very interesting.
