I don't know if this is the right forum. I've self injured since age 17; I'm almost 26 now. I had been doing really well at waiting until the feeling passed but today was different. I felt super high (not drug high, never done them) and that I HAD to cut to bring myself down. Like it's not even out of depression this time. I just felt out of control and disassociated. I don't know how else to describe it. And I don't know what I'm looking for writing this post. I guess I just feel scared.

I've felt that way a number of times, I usually describe it as a very "floaty" feeling. Where I'm not all there mentally and just feel over-all weird and "high" (though I've never done drugs). I'm in a state of derealization 24/7 but sometimes it just gets really bad and it triggers me as well. So you're not alone in the way you feel.

It's a weird feeling to be certain. I'm going to mention it to my therapist (when I get one....) when I see her.
