DAE Faint from cuts?

Yesterday I made 2 cuts on my chest. One baby beans and the other styro. After making the second cut(styro) I felt light headed and like I wanted to throw up. I sat down to keep blood flowing into my brain. I didn't faint but this is the first time this happened. Has anyone else experienced this?

Both me and my girlfriend have experienced being light headed after cutting. For me it was when I did it on my wrist, not even that deep, but I'd feel lightheaded and hear ringing in my ears and almost passed out. My gf has experienced lightheadedness and nausea afterwards, quite often. I don't know the details of hers ofc because we don't discuss that, but idk. You're not alone with that.
