So I can usually control myself to cutting only once or twice a week.

Every so often, proably once every two months, I can't control myself and I end up cutting almost every day.

At the end of weeks like this I always crash out on the sofa or on my bed out of what seems like exhaustion. I just sort of lie there unable to move or talk much sense. Sometimes I feel sick or dizzy as well.

I don't know if this is something to do with the amout of blood I lose during the week compared to usually, or just that I'm tired, or what.

I was just wondering if anyone else gets this, or if anyone can suggest what might be the cause of it??

Thanks :)

When i used to cut alot, every day like you did after a while i would get similar too. My breathing would start to become more difficult and i would feel sick and dizzy. At this point i don't think it is serious but it is probabaly a good idea to give it a rest for a while. Blood cells take up to a month to be restored so therefore any blood you have lost in the last month will still be affecting you slightly.
Hope i helped :)

A month!? I thought it was a well quick process, like a few hrs or something :/

I'm glad I'm not alone though :) thanks.

The plasma (liquid part) Of blood restores alot quicker but the blood cells that actually carry the oxygen take a month :)

hmm yeah i know what you mean :) although i shouldnt be smiling about it. sorry...
i think it has something to do with the blood loss but maybe also something in your mind telling you that your not feeling okay? just a thought...
