It takes a lot of pressure
When you hold your wrists together, you have to be very careful not to let your skin touch the edge of the wristband. This can hurt!
To prevent this from happening, you have to keep your wrists separated at all times. You can also pull your wrists apart when you’re done so there’s no leftover pressure from earlier in the exercise.
Don’t worry; this is not painful at all. In fact, it feels pretty cool to do!
Only do this if you feel comfortable with how much pressure you can apply to get the same effect as snipping your wrists together. If that sounds too hard, don’t worry! There are plenty of other ways to exercise!
Doing yoga or swimming is probably great ways to get some exercise without having to spend a lot of time in a special position.
You need a very sharp blade
Slitting your wrists can be a little bit risky. You need a very sharp blade to do it right, and the thinner the blade the more risk there is that you will cut yourself.
That said, there are ways to safely slit your wrists. One way is to use a fine-meshed wristband or bandage. This reduces the chance of cutting yourself with the blade, and makes it easier to wrap it around your hand twice before cutting into your wrist.
Another way is to use thin gauze or tissuePaper. These can be folded in half and taped onto your wrist in an alpha-beta configuration. This reduces the risk of cutting yourself as well as making it easier to wrap it around your hand twice.

Make sure you use a sharp blade
Slitting your wrists can be a trip! That is why we suggest using a sharp blade instead of a dull one. A sharp blade will make the process more enjoyable and painless.
The trouble with a dull knife is that it can get stuck in the wrist or hand. This is not such a good thing if you want to remove some skin! A good rule of thumb when slitting your hands or feet is to use one arm and one foot at a time.
This way, you will not be taking extra steps to reach another area of your body. You will only have one step to take when removing skin from your hands or feet.
When using an ordinary kitchen knife, try pulling the tip of the knife just below the wrist until you get to the bone. Then, just cut across the bone! This way, you will be able to remove some skin without hurting yourself.
Try not to rush
If you can avoid it, don’t try slitting your wrists while your hands are still warm from your wrist temperature control. You will risk damaging the skin and perhaps causing more pain in the process.
This is because as you pull at the wrist to sever the blood flow, you may also pull on nearby nerves. This can cause some minor pain, but also swelling and discomfort.
Try not to do this when your hands are cold or when one of you is sleeping. You will both be more vulnerable to dizziness and fainting if you do. Instead, split up the time spent heating up your wrists or taking yourself off treatment immediately if two weeks have gone by without improvement.
How often should you take yourself off treatment? The Australian Medicines Royal Commission has recommended five weeks of no treatment for borderline cases with severe pain, swelling, bruising or anaemia.
Lay down so blood flows down your arm
When you cut your wrists, you typically lay down or face down on a tabletop or bed. This is to reduce the pressure on the wound and to allow gravity to work for you.
You also then grab your arm and lay it flat on the floor or situate yourself so that your wrist is laid on the floor with your hand positioned underneath it. This is so that gravity can help seal the wrist and prevent blood from flowing back into the body.
As mentioned, when cutting your wrists, you typically have two options: slit wrists completely or round wrists. Slitting your wrists involves more pain, but having round wrist cuts looks prettier and feels better too.
Either way, do not try to hide these wounds if you have cut yours slightly rounder or less than true-cut style! You need to have a genuine enough cut to be able for them to heal normally.
Know where the closest hospital is
If you have severe wrist or hand injuries, it’s important to go to a hospital that specializes in emergency surgery. Some hospitals will let you bring someone else into the surgery because of an injured party.
Many trauma centers have Slitting Your Wrists class, so don’t be afraid to ask for help. The experts at the class are very good at determining if something is minor or if something needs medical attention.
If you need major surgical assistance, such as removing a body part, then you should go to a trauma center that specializes in reconstructive surgery.
Slitting Your Wrists can be done without a mirror so do not worry about getting your hands and arms exposed. You also do this quickly, so do not be too worried about it taking awhile to stop bleeding.
When removing foreign bodies such as adhesions or skin slivers, avoid cutting through muscle because that can cause serious pain and damage.
Tell someone who can help you
If you have trouble telling the difference between right and wrong, trying slitting your wrists or right wrist wrist chopping may help. Both situations ask you to make a conscious choice to do something that hurts, and may help you realize how bad things are in your life.
In Slitting Your Wrist Hurt?, Dr. Mendelsohn explains that the decision to chop your wrists is an easy one to make. You will already be thinking about how much it hurts, and how lucky you are to be able to do so.
You will also most likely feel relieved, like something is being taken away from your pain.

By doing this though, you are actually causing more pain as there is no real point in cutting yourself without medication.
Talk to a therapist
Slitting your wrists or hands can be a romantic gesture. There’s nothing more unsettling than having a hand or wrist cut, and there’s no turning back the clock on the pain you feel.
However, it is important to let your therapist know what you’re going to do before you do it. Many therapists can help with this!
There are two main reasons to do this at all. One is to learn how to DIY cut yourself, and two is for healing purposes. Cut yourself at the right time of day for healimg purposes (during the morning or early afternoon).
Two days after cutting, you will want to re-wrap your wrist and put another Band-Aid on where the wrist used to be. This is one of the reasons why doing it on a Friday night or Sunday morning is best—you have both rest day and cut day, so you can watch TV or get out of bed to do it.
