Answers:
Kelsey, you've really already answered your own question since you recognized that you needed psychiatrist even though you were quite able to ask for one at that time. Call that hospital and ask to talk to a social worker. They can help you get referred for the care you need.
What you are doing is called self-injury, and people with this are often called "cutters" but they use many methods. Usually, people cut themselves to distract them from some other pain that's worse than the physical pain of the cutting. Finding out what that pain is and dealing with it is the path to stopping.
You are not alone, because many people, especially teenagers and young adults, have this very same problem, and you can be helped.
Here are some websites that may help you and assist in finding the outside help you need. Asking your question was your first step to healing.
http://www.palace.net/~llama/psych/injury.html
From this site: " Answer these questions:
Do you deliberately cause physical harm to yourself to the extent of causing tissue damage (breaking the skin, bruising, leaving marks that last for more than an hour)?
Do you cause this harm to yourself as a way of dealing with unpleasant or overwhelming emotions, thoughts, or situations (including dissociation)?
If your self-harm is not compulsive, do you often think about SI even when you're relatively calm and not doing it at the moment?
If you answer #1 and #2 yes, you are a self-injurer. If you answer #3 yes, you are most likely a repetitive self-injurer. The way you choose to hurt yourself could be cutting, hitting, burning, scratching, skin-picking, banging your head, breaking bones, not letting wounds heal, among others. You might do several of these. How you injure yourself isn't as important as recognizing that you do and what it means in your life.
Self-injurious behavior does not necessarily mean you were an abused child. It usually indicates that somewhere along the line, you didn't learn good ways of coping with overwhelming feelings. You're not a disgusting or sick; you just never learned positive ways to deal with your feelings."

either go see a doctor for the attention that you seek or make the cuts a bit deeper.
The Hospital could very well be sued for malpractice . As a PA any such cases are automatically referred for Psychiatric Consult as part of the treatment ON THE SPOT before Discharge!!! Please make an appointment with a Psychiatrist then get a good Lawyer.
girl, i gave you advice on this same question yesterday!! I think your taking us for a ride, since ive just looked at the history of your questions.
