Cut myself because I feel so suicidal

[Zeus35]

The one with little blood is when I started, the picture with more blood is where I am now. I'm so upset. Please don't turn this post about yourself because it really isn't helpful. I'm really upset.

How are you feeling now? Are you able to keep the wounds clean and covered?

I don't know how to clean it, it stings.

I don't know how to clean it, it stings.

I use salt water for wounds (idea is it's like saline solution) or in a pinch water and then antiseptic cream

Just soap and water should be fine. Bandage after. If you want you can apply Neosporin.

I want to die

It wouldn't smart if you'd use aspercreme with lidocaine. That would solve that.

I want to die

Don't we all

Hi there.

That makes sense to me. :(

Hey! I dunno if you're still checking back for replies, but I always start out by running it under really cold water to kinda numb it some (if I have access to cold water). For those cuts, I think soap and water would be enough, but others might have better advice. Salt water might hurt less. Four cups of warm water with 2 measuring teaspoons of table salt dissolved. That's about 10 mL salt and 500 mL of water.

I am really sorry things are so crappy right now.

I feel you..

everything would be so much easier if we could just have a way to open an artery and let the blood fall into a bucket..

I daydream about that all the time.

I sometimes draw blood from my arm with a needle. But it doesn't work all the time. Some days, I draw 20ml out, others only 10ml. Most of the time it doesn't work.

When it doesn't work, I just stab myself.

Ok, so we don't "turn these posts about ourselves" which would be considered Hijacking a thread. Only we input similar experiences as to collaborate what the OP has gone through in which we might have similar circumstances to reflect on. Need to get that straight.

I could care less if you placed me on a ignore list - that don't mean shit to me, need to stop acting like a baby.

Oh, I didn't realize OP said that.

I'm just curious: @Zeus35 what kind of reply would you prefer? encouragements to not give up keep fighting? other than that, I have no idea what "don't make this about yourself" request means.

It's the most human reaction to give examples of how and why we emphasise with someone. I simply wanted to show you how I relate so you feel less lonely. If you feel like I'm making it about myself, let me know.
