im currently under the effect of sedatives. im very stressed right now, just had a fight with my siblings and an feeling worthless. it was partly my own fault but i didnt deserve the reaction i received. so after an hour of weeping in my room i went into the bathroom and inserted syringe into a vein in my arm and bled for sometime...not a lot, just about 10 ml. once i was done with it,it suddenly struck me that this would not be a normal strategy to cope with stress.

so, i just want to make sure that its not a mental illness ,right? self inflicted bleeding using a syringe is not equivalent to cutting, is it?
looking for to your response.
