Help Wrist cutting. How to reduce pain?

[araney995]

Hi. I know that cutting the wrists is not recommended for ctb, but if I cut the radial arteries lengthwise on the two wrists in warm water, it should be effective? I would not want pain, do you know how to anesthetize these points? Is lidocaine alone on the surface enough? Maybe there is something better.

No, it will not work. Do not try this method. I definitely understand your desire to leave this awful world as soon as possible, but this will only make your problems worse. Hopefully you can find another way out of this mess.

It's not really a good idea to try to numb the wrists since it poses the risk of cutting too deep.

Look at the last one on the list. Only 6% with the agony scale being on 71. Really not worth it.

This is a self harm method not a suicide one, I believe that attempting this would just lead to more suffering. There is a reason as to why this method isn't included in the suicide resource compilation.

You can only reduce pain by not cutting in the first place, there's no easy way to cut your wrists

Wrist cutting is probably one of the worst methods. It is so hard to get right, often people just end up needing surgery. I was in treatment with a girl who tried to kill herself by cutting her wrist, despite her being quite tough (and if any of us in treatment were going to do something serious it would have been her) but when she got to a certain layer she freaked out and couldn't go on anymore.
Also as a self Harmer of 10+ years I don't think there is anything that can reduce the pain of cutting particularly if it's deep

I understand the desire to leave the world but u should rlly reconsider the method. The success rate is very very low, and i don't think theres a way to not feel pain on this method

I would find another method. Like others mentioned it's not reliable and also high risk of giving yourself permanent damage.
