duranel - I can understand that you are worried about what you've been experiencing. Trying to figure out what brings on these kinds of experiences is all about timing i.e. when did these events occur. Make a time line for yourself so you can try to establish for you and your therapist what the sequence of events was. Unfortunately, when several new events take place at the same time it is often impossible to determine what causes what.   What you are describing is not "normal" so do not simply try to tough it out for a while. Just as     suggested you should notify your therapist immediately and be sure to be forthcoming about the cutting. Cutting serves many functions, as you know, and you do want to let it get out of control because you are now needing it to ground yourself from this disorienting experience.   Rick Wirtz   Rick Wirtz is a Psychologist, not a Psychiatrist.
