Anxiety attack?!

Anxiety attack?

Why am i feeling this way? help please.?
i've cut for 2 years now but havent for about 6 monthes. I was looking up stuff online tonight about cutting because i was bored and now i feel so anxous to do it. I dont even know if its anxious to do it i just feel anxious. I cant sit still and im kinda breathing heavier. I cant sit still. Is this an anxiety attack? What is this? Ive never felt this way before thats why its kinda freaking me out?

First of all, 6 months is a long time and you deserve a lot of credit.

Reading about self-harm behaviors would probably trigger an anxiety response in most people; I would not be at all surprised if it triggered an anxiety attack in a person who is prone to anxiety and who used to engage in that behavior.

Don't let anxiety cause you more anxiety, if you know what I mean. If you can't sit still, get up and walk around. It will pass.

If anyone helped you stop cutting 6 months ago, let them know about tonight. Definitely tell your doctor if he/she doesn't already know. From the medication perspective, we are probably better (or at least better-equipped) at treating anxiety than any other mental disorder.
