I'm a cutter, and I have been for over a year.
I'm trying to stop. For the most part its working but I've slipped up now.
I have a very deep cut on my ankle, the spot on the outside where the anklebone juts out. I cut it over a week ago, and its just scabbed[lightly] today.
It has a pulsing feeling, and hurts like heck.
The cut is about an inch long, and fairly thick.
Is it going to be alright?
I can't go to a doctor, because I can't tell my parents. Also, Is there a way to stop the pain??? (link)
This is not a good sign if you still feel pain on it internally. it sounds like you could have hit a vein and deeply punctured it. to stop the pain i would just make sure your shoes arent in contact with it and pretty much leave it allone, hopefully you treated it wiht bacteria killer to try and prevent infection. you cut yourself really close to a very sensitive area, if not directly on it and you definately should see a doctor it would be best to tell your parents straight out what happened but if its your only choice, i would lie to them and tell them that you slipped or something of the sort because it does need to be checked out. i am not saying that its ok to cut and that its ok to lie but for your health it should definately be helped out

on the issue of cutting you should really stop. i know that you arent jsut because i said so but you need to learn how to control and i know its harder than it looks, from experience. please please message me if you need more help. i have helped many people with this issue and i would be more than willing to help you. i know i am jsut a random person but i do really care and want to help. i understand that cutting feels like the only solution sometime but i could help you come to terms with issues disturbing you

please message me if you want help and please do see a doctor in some way even if you do have to lie

I'm trying to stop. I know I didn't hit a vein, and the pain is external, not internal. I've been cleaning it twice daily with a purified water/alchohol solution.
