When I get an urge, I shake. My hands shake uncontrollably and I have to close my eyes to focus.

I feel like everything else around me disappears. I don't know how to stop it, but it makes me feel so vulnerable. Then I have to cut. Sometimes I start to hyperventalate. I passed out a few times. The urges drag me in really far. This isnt normal, is it?

It could potentially be a panic attack brought on by the urge or the reasons behind the urge. When people have panic attacks they may feel they can't breath. Common symptoms of panic attacks are shaking, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, chest pain, dizziness, nausea, etc. 

People often go to therapy and/or take medication to learn to cope with panic attacks.
