    The fact that you're not feeling any pain from the cut is the concern here. You need to see a doctor. If this is nerve damage, and it is treatable, the sooner a doctor sees it, the better your chances of full recovery. Did you read the link I posted?

    Yeah. It doesn't hurt at all.. I mean if I touch it it stings a little but by itself I can't even tell it's there

    That's not what you said when you posted the question.

    but today, the deepest out of hundreds of cuts in a few months bled for an hour, made me feel like I was going to vomit out whatever's life inside of me, yet I felt no pain whatsoever. It was about two centimeters deep,
    Either it's the deepest of hundreds of cuts, two centimeters deep, or it just tipped the skin. Which is it?

    You'll have to see your doctor, which means you have to tell mom that you cut yourself, that it's either a deep cut, or just a minor one (you'll have to decide which one), that you're not feeling any pain from the cut and you feel you may have cut a nerve.

    There's really nothing anyone on this site can do about it. You need to see a doctor.

    Good luck.

    Yes. I read that too. I'm not a doctor, plus we can't see your wound. Where is the cut exactly?

    My right arm, about three inches up from the middle of the part where my hand and wrist meet.

    Does that make sense?

    On the inside/underside part or the outside part of your arm? Across or the long way?

    Is it still bleeding or oozing blood? Can you wiggle your fingers? Close your hand?

    That's good, but you will still tell your mom in the morning? I wonder if you need a few stitches.

    Depends on how deep it is. You don't want it to heal badly and with a wide scar.

    It's not that deep. I guess it's deep for me because I don't ever cut deep at all

    Gently touch around it. How does that feel? Does the skin go white when you touch?
