Immediately find a family member! Cutting too deep can be very serious. IF there are no family members around, call your police or ambulance number

Apply pressure to the wound and get fabric of some kind to help stop the bleeding. If it's really bad, call an ambulance or tell someone right away. If it really is too deep, you'll need stitches.

Stop the bleeding is the first thing you need to do if you get the bleeding to stop bandage it but if it doesn't stop bleeding or if it seems to get worse go to the hospital AS SOON AS POSSIBLE/

You should stop cutting immediately. If you are bleeding uncontrollably, call 911 for medical help. Put antibiotic ointment over the cuts and wrap them up with an Ace bandage, or cover them with a Band-Aid. Contact a hotline for assistance with your depression, or come on to 7 Cups, where listeners are here to help you. Stay strong!

Immediatly let someone know. Call 911, or inform anyone you trust in the near vicinity. You can try to treat it yourself, but don't be hesitant to call in outside help.
