if u were to give yourself multiple deep injuries in an attempt to ctb, how many hours would it take to bleed out???

That would depend on what vital organs or blood vessels you managed to cut. If you only cut into your muscle, you may not bleed out at all, since the wounds may clot.

According to a Harvard Study called Lethality of Suicide Methods, cutting as a method works 1.2% of the time, so only 1 in 87 attempts works, and the survivors are left with scars that make everyday life that much more stressful. It's almost impossible to ctb by this method. I hope you can find peace somehow.

You'd need to cut into a big artery. You could pass out in 20 minutes if you hit a big one. But it's not easy. Very deep in your leg, a very painful cut. Most arteries are well protected. Cutting into muscle probably just won't work

depending on where you hit and how you hit it, how deeply, how fast your body normally heals, your current nutrition, and so many other factors its almost impossible to give a proper estimate. assuming you touch a femoral artery it can be several minutes to several hours tops, but its almost impossible to hit a femoral artery without proper prep

I was a big cutter for years. I cut my throat to no avail. Everyone I know except one person woke up in a sticky pool of clotted blood.
The guy I know who succeeded cutting his throat, drowned in his own blood.
Yeah, it's going to need a good slice through an artery. I hit one a couple of times and believe me, you really know about it. Hurts like a bitch.
Most of our arteries are protected with bone, sinew and other connective tissue that's tough to get through.
The femoral artery in the upper inside thigh is probably the safest bet.
