Question: Suicide rate of wrist-cutting is only 1%!. It's not that dangerous then, should I do it!?
I'm not serious, but it really surprised me!.
"Wrist slitting is usually not fatal and it is thought that of all suicide attempts using this method, only 1% succeed!."
I thought a lot of people slit their wrists because the possibility of dying is higher than other suicide methods!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to work in a hospital - and I think you need to be very careful before you accept statistics like 1% of wrist cutting is fatal!.
Most people who attempt suicide are in a pattern of self-harm!. Hardly anybody kills themself first time, but someone who attempts suicide has probably tried it before, and will likely try it again!.
The staff in the AE room at most hospitals get to know the local suicide watch!. They joke together about about the number of times their regulars try it!. (How else are they supposed to cope)!?
Most people get it right after a bit of practice!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No it isn't!. It has a very low fatality rate!.
Very likely scenario!.!.!.!.you cut your wrists, are taken to hospital, the wound is cleaned and stitched up, then you are sent to a psychiatric hospital until they no longer feel you pose a risk to yourself!.!.!.!.not to mention you are left with a nasty scar as a reminder of your failed attempt!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think it's the myth that if you slit your wrists you will die with certainty!. Of course you can die if you cut deep enough and let yourself bleed out!. I'd have to say that TV and books portray suicide by wrist cutting the most especially when it comes to young people!. Maybe because with such an intense subject, wrist cutting allows them to control the suicide attempt scene a little better without getting all gory about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Research shows that while more females than males attempt suicide, males have a higher success rate!. The reason for that is that males tend to go for more deadly attempts, e!.g!. jumping off a high building, guns, etc!. while females prefer to try softer approaches like med overdose, or wrist-slitting!.
So, the main reason why many chose wrist-slitting is because it's easier (as in, takes less courage) to do that then, say, eating a bullet!. Of course, the easiest is still med overdose :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

a lot of people slit their wrists as a stress-relief and coping mechanism!. most of them do not conciously think "if i do this i can kill myself"!. many deaths by wrist-cutting are accidental!.
it might be the sight of the blood or the feeling of the cut that the person needs, but the cutting is there as an outlet they don't have anywhere else!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

u have to do it the right way!. as most peps would slit it from side ti side, which does nothing!. if someone wants to slit their wrist damn do it the right way and start at your palm and go up the arm to hit the main vain!. thats the only right way and most peps don't know that!. and i'm sorry for what i'm getting ready to say!. but u must be a dumbass to want to kill yourself!. that doesn't mean u if u don't want to do it but on the other hand if u do than i said what i had to sayWww@Answer-Health@Com
Yes!. And of all the people who try to kill themselves in all other ways (drug OD, jumpers, drowning, whatever) only 7% of them succeed!. That leaves 93% of people who try to do it, but fail!.
Attempting suicide will only get you hospitalized and institutionalized!.!.!. unless you're one of the few who actually succeed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I could easily slit my wrists and not kill myself!. If I didn't do it deep or hard!. If I actually wanted to I'm sure I could easily do it but I'd feel bad for the person who finds me and has to clear up all my blood and move me :) Suppose I could do it in the bath, would make it easier for the person to clean!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
It's a cry for help!. No one really wants to die!. We just need to be helped!. Suicide is so selfish!. And wasteful!. The pain you cause will need to be suppressed eventually so the ones that loved you can move one!. So, you are not only gone but forgotten on some level!. GET HELP!. LIVE!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If someone really and truly wants to die, they will make sure they do something that will do it quickly!. Most of the time when someone slits a wrist or takes an overdose of meds, they don't really want to die, they are crying out for help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Why would you want to slice your wrist!? I know that we all have problems and the this world that we are living in does not help us because the whole world is a Big Ball Of Confusion! Come on now do you really want to do this or did someone tell you to do this!? louiseB96Www@Answer-Health@Com
