Recovery Symptoms?

[bluedevil6]

Okay. So. Today I'm six weeks clean from cutting. But it's weird. I'm sort of .. having hallucinations. The feeling of bugs crawling on my skin. Hearing/seeing things that aren't there. I was wondering if it could maybe be from the withdrawal of the cutting? Because I'm not on any medication except for Ibuprofen when that time of the month comes along ... and I've heard you can have hallucinations when you don't do drugs for a long time after you've been addicted or something?

So. Yeah. Comments would be appreciated if you know anything about this. :)

I suppose it's possible. I get extreme itchiness where I used to cut so I guess it's the same thing. As long as you don't give into it, it'll disappear in time and you'll stop noticing it. Or at least, it'll be less frequent. It could be that you're imagining it all happening and in some ways want it to happen - after all imagination is a very strong gift.

Well cutting is an addiction, in some circumstances. So I suppose you could have the same withdrawal symptoms as a drug addict in a weird way... When I was clean for a while I did get the bug crawling on skin feeling but never any proper hallucinations..
