Is suicide by slit wrists painful after the initial cut?
the nerve endings on your wrists are extremely sensitive, even if you just get a scratch it can hurt worse than a cut that may be 1/4″ deep somewhere else on your body. I have not tried to kill myself by slitting my wrists, however i have cut them once, and though the cuts were not all that deep, it took about 4 months for the stinging to go away. If you cut deep enough to kill yourself, the pain will be almost unbearable (this is coming from somebody who has a really high pain tolerance). The second cut hurts just as bad if not worse than the first.
