Teenager. Suicidal Tendencies. Cut Left Wrist Deep, Dizziness, Bleeding. Help

so im 15 and i cut because im depressed i am a female. i've cut my left wrist downwards deep and its not a long cut its long enough to bleed alot. anyways i cut 4 days ago and on Sunday night i removed the dried up blood clot on the wound and it just build up blood really fast. i've had to wipe it up a few times quickly because it was getting on the floor. i didnt want my parents to see it so im covering my tracks.... later on the night it kept bleeding and i got tierd of letting run out. so i laid down and laid a heavy paper towel (few) and i went to sleep letting it drip on the paper towel. i woke up really early and was dizzy so i just laid back down. but the next day i woke up my entire pillow, matress,covers, even my teddy bear had alot of blood on it. and even on the day i cutted that deep wound i lost alot of blood.. i dont understand why im still here, i am suicidal i really dont care i have too much going on im just tierd. anywho, could someone tell me what will happen if i dont get medical care this wound is dried right now because somthing in my skin is holding the blood back so if it removes more blood will spill. what should i do?.

Hi there, thanks for asking. You should not manipulate the crust since it may trigger rebleeding. On the other hand, having suicidal tendency is common among the adolescence. It is important to talk about this issue with a doctor and she will help you in that regard. I wish you a good mood for all of your life.
