-- Posted by Crimsonpain at 9:53 am on July 1, 2008 I haven't cut in a month but I've been getting urges and sometimes I start to feel real anxious and nervous around people I don't know. The other day I went to the mall to buy something and started to feel really nervous, it took all my strenght to not shake when taking my wallet out. I think it might be a side effect of stopping but I don't know. It scares me a lot because this never happened   -- Posted by plumc0la at 9:54 am on July 1, 2008 awe its okay i used to cut awhile back, you just need to get one of your friends to watch you and keep you grounded you should quit, rly. you feel so much better after. just be happy. -- Posted by peter110788 at 9:54 am on July 1, 2008 are you a shy person in general? -- Posted by Crimsonpain at 9:55 am on July 1, 2008 Quote: from peter110788 at 12:54 pm on July 1, 2008 are you a shy person in general? Not really, in general I'm a loud outgoing person, but I do get a bit shy around strangers. -- Posted by its only me at 9:56 am on July 1, 2008 pm me if u wanna talk. remember cutting is an addiction. with any addiction you get withdrawl symptoms. ive been through it too. -- Posted by tennisplayerV2 at 9:56 am on July 1, 2008 ya it is a side effect...at least i am pretty sure it is...just continue holding on and the side effect will slowly go away...you are not use to deal with the emotional pain...instead you usually replace it will physical pain...hang on and ttm if you need suport. -- Posted by rewindurmind at 9:57 am on July 1, 2008 Stupid fucking emo. It's not nicotine. You're so retarded. -- Posted by peter110788 at 9:57 am on July 1, 2008 well i dunno, did they make u particularly nervous? i dont think its to do with ur self harm, but i feel you have low self esteem, i cud be wrong tho -- Posted by peter110788 at 10:01 am on July 1, 2008 i have friends who have self harmed nd never heard of it, but there is always a chance, probs more tho tht they made u nervous, it sounds like a panic attack, did u feel like everything was spinning around you or tht u were starting to breathe heavily? -- Posted by Crimsonpain at 10:04 am on July 1, 2008 Quote: from peter110788 at 1:01 pm on July 1, 2008 i have friends who have self harmed nd never heard of it, but there is always a chance, probs more tho tht they made u nervous, it sounds like a panic attack, did u feel like everything was spinning around you or tht u were starting to breathe heavily?
