Coming from a registered first-aider: grab a towel, shirt, washcloth, anything handy and apply direct pressure to your wound. If possible, have someone with you to be able to place you in a resovery position if necessary. Call for medical services as soon as possible.

Take alchocol and desinfect that. If the pain is not enough go to the emergency. And think about that everything has its consequences

If you have caused a lot of harm, put pressure on the wound and go to your nearest emergency room. Do not run the wound under cold water, and do not try to hide it.

First you need to calm down and breathe. You're heart-rate may be high. First you need to get help. Do not let it go untreated especially if you cut a vein. Stop the bleeding then treat it or it will get infected and hurt even more. Wrap it up and throw your razors or glass away. Go get help.

First you need to go to the hospital. Then I would find someone who will keep you from cutting and have them help you.

If it bleeds too much, seek help cause it can be dangerous. If you know you tend to cut too deep, try to avoid parts of body with bigger veins that are more likely to bleed. But I'd really recommend you try other way of coping. I know it can be really, really difficult to stop with cutting, but it's possible. You can find someone you trust that can help you with that. You can do it :)

It is important to take in immediate details of the wound. Try to get someone to be with you while you wait for medical professionals arrive. Hold pressure to the wound to try and steady the blood flow, and see a doctor immediately. Stitches may be required, or medical glue. It is important to remain calm, because if you panic there is a chance of passing out from adrenalin, which may delay you being able to get medical assistance.

You call an emergency number and tell them what your situation is, how you are feeling, what you did and where you are so they can pick you up or help you as fast as possible to avoid any more incidents. In the mean time you should put a towel or bandage around your wound and press it so the bleeding will or stop, or slow down.

Immediately apply some kind of tourniquet to stem the bleeding, contact emergency services asap and make sure you also seek help from anyone nearby.
