Triggering (SI) - need advice/others experiences [triggering]

[wicked]

um, so, last night I cut myself. not deeper than normal, no serious bloodloss. very minimal gaping [cm, at most]. which is a pretty normal cut for me.

the odd thing was, when I was doing it, I felt as if my bloodsugar was very low. the faint, shaky, borderline dizzy feeling. I have never felt that way before.

it is confusing b/c it was a normal cut, it wasn't in a different place, or with a different tool.

it scared me a little bit.

does anyone else get that feeling?

I've had that before, definitely when I've cut deeper than normal.
I'm not sure what it was, if you say that it was pretty normal for you, had you eaten/been drinking properly that day?
I think when it's happened to me it was the shock more than anything.
If you're really concerned, ask a First-Aider :)
Keep safe xx

I've had that before, but I've always come to one of two conclusions: it was either in my head, a product of being very very upset, or, like the above poster said, related to my eating.

I hope it's nothing more serious than that!

its happened to me a few times, only one time it got so bad i had to stop before i actually passed out, for me it was probably my head space, not eating and i'd had a few drinks, so yea.
take care if it happens again just stop, and be safe.

yeah thats happened to me before its normally related to eating but if you are worried ask a first aider.

keep yourself safe.

Unless you have anemia (like me) this is most probably related to eating and hydration.
I can only advise you to eat and drink something if it happens again and to lie down for a couple minutes. You can even put your legs up to activate blood circulation.

Maybe you were breathing too fast or not enough and didn't notice it. That could make you dizzy.
