Felt like throwing up after cutting self?

I cut myself for the first time (yes on purpose. yes i know it's bad but i don't want to hear it, that's not the point.)

Directly afterward i felt super sick like i wanted to throw up. Really really bad.

It wasn't because i lost a lot of blood though, because it was similar to a paper cut, no blood dripped. So I don't understand why i felt so sick?

Does anybody know why, or have experienced this before?

    More than likely it was your conscious making your stomach hurt. I've often times became physically ill and thrown up from being stressed out.

    You could be afraid of blood, or the idea of cutting yourself. I used to feel sick when I'd cut myself, has something to do with survival instinct, yadda yadda. There's a whole mess of psychological factors at work here.

    That said, get some help. I used to be in the same place as you, and believe me when I say the only way you can go is down.
