How much blood loss is too much?

So I got a cut on my wrist and soaked 4-5 washcloths after letting flow freely into this sink for first!  I am feeling a lil dizzy and blurry!  Anyone hoe much it to much?  Or should I just sleep this off?

I've read a few of your posts & can't imagine how you are feeling.  Getting a cut that bleeds anywhere near that much needs medical help.  What if you didn't stop bleeding when you laid down? What if you continued to bleed at that rate & didn't wake up?

PLEASE inbox message me !! I've been where you are & would like to try & help.

Thank you all.  I slept it off and it has finally stopped bleeding.  I see my dr today so hopefully she can shed some light on this.
I didn't go to ER because I didn't get these message until I woke up.  They weren't towels just little face wash cloths, so it wasnt A's bad A's it may have seemed!  Thanks all for you help with this matter

get to the ER or call an ambulance, if you haven't already.

When you cut yourself and it bleeds enough to fill 5 washcloths, that's too much. You know this. Put pressure on the cut and get to the ER. You probably need stitches.
