I took an overdose of sleeping pills (not enough to do serious harm) one night, then, after months of not even thinking about it, I cut myself. Not badly. I felt, well, I'm not sure how I felt. I'm not sure why I did it. I think if was just a reaction to stress. It was personal. Anyway, I hid my arm in long sleeves. (the cuts are on my forearm) The other day I finally wore a strappy shirt. To go swimming, and the cuts were noticable. I tried to hide my arm by my side but I'd forget and reach for something. I felt, and still feel, really stupid and totally ashamed of myself. I feel like everyone must think I'm trying for sympathy, that I'm trying to cause tension. But should I feel like this? Should I be ashamed of myself for doing this? My mom made the comment, in response to my comment of " I burn so easy, it sucks" , "Well just deal with it, like you do everything else" Please don't make fun. I think this is hurting more than I realize.
