I've never been to the ER because I want to cut, but if you feel that you are serious danger to yourself, and you can't call your therapist or have someone close sit with you, then it is probably a good idea.
When I am on the edge, I usually give myself limits on the injuries I inflict, or, depending on my mood, I will try to sleep.
I keep all my blades and bandages etc together, and put them way out of reach of my bed ( I like to cut when I sit on my bed), then I have to physically go and get them if I really want to cut. It makes me think twice, and I have to get the energy to get them.
Also, when I am in a 'cutting mood' I will try to be with people to get my mind off it. It doesn't matter if I just go to the shop or sitt with my housemates watching TV - while I'm with people, I can't cut.
