Is it normal to have shakey hands after cutting a lot? Is it from blood loss?

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

Blood loss can cause you to go into shock, which can cause shaking and other symptoms like:

 

Confusion or decreasing alertness
Clammy skin
Dizziness or light-headedness after an injury
Low blood pressure
Paleness (pallor)
Rapid pulse, increased heart rate
Shortness of breath
Weakness

However, self-injury also releases a load of endorphins into the body. You're tapping into pain and some pretty primitive bodily responses. 
 
So, it could be blood loss or it might be those other things.
