How deep do u have to cut in order to hit a vein?!
Question: How deep do u have to cut in order to hit a vein!?
I'm not trying to commit suicide or anything!. I'm doing the opposite!. I am a cutter (not as bad as I used to be though), but I have to do it on my ankle to hide it!. Well, there are several veins down there and I just want to make sure nothing goes wrong! I mean, do u have to cut like extremely deep or does it just take a little cut to hit it!? No rude remarks please!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I hear hear you and I completely understand what you are saying!. I'm a cutter to and it's so difficult when the anxiety or depression hit full force because all you want is relief!. Cutting seems to provide that temporary fix despite knowing how unhealthy and dangerous it can be!. I don't know how to directly answer your question regarding cutting on the ankle, as I have never cut on that part of my own body!. However as you are aware there are a lot of veins around the ankle and the skin is a little finer so because of that you might be more likely to hit a vein accidentally!. Please be very careful!.
Things that have helped me when I want of feel the need to cut is talking to friends, calling a crisis line, trying to distract my self by focusing on other things and counseling!. I also don't have medical insurance to afford medication etc!. but by calling around local counseling centers I was able to find a good counselor willing to take me on for a very small fee but you have to be willing to put your self out there and ask!. My cutting is more under control now, as a result!. A book that I found helpful in identifying my feeling and being able to have the words to express my feeling was called Inside A Cutters Mind!. I forgot the Name of the author but it's a book well worth reading!.
I hope you can use some of the options that I have mentioned and found to be helpful for myself in order for you to feel better and to find other alturnitives to cutting!. In searching for a counselor be sure to ask if they are fimillar with self injury and if it's something they are willing to discuss!. There are some counselors who are not comfortable having clients who self injure or become suicidal from time to time!. You don't want to waist your time so be sure you know before wakling into that situation!. All the best!Www@Answer-Health@Com

cutting on the ankle is almost pointless!. Cutting is a way to release endorphins in the brain, but the brain has to register the trauma!. Your feet and ankles get to much trauma daily from walking that the brain won't release that many endorphins, so don't do it there!. But on your ankle the skins thicker but only a littler deeper than the skin on your wrists!. But avoid the Achilles tendon, nic that in the wrong way, you can forget about waking with that foot for a good long while!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
well i dont favor cutting but so you dont kill your self ill say that the ankle is moved around with the muscles alot and can cause a small cut to expand but it really depends on your body type because some people have veins that just stand out and are clearly visible and somepeople have veins hiden in the muscles or are just to deep!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Knowing where you're coming from, you need help!. Not being rude!. I've been there and know how it is!. My Mom found out and got me help!. If you have anyone you trust that won't get mad at you and will understand, I'd say to tell them!. But, you have to be responsible for your actions!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
veins and arteries (you only see the veins tho) are on top of the muscle just under the skin, you do not have to cut deep in order to cut them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Depends on where!. Some veins and arteries are near the surface, some are deep!. Unless you know exactly where they are, there's a chance you'll hit one!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
