afterwards

[PurplePrincess9]

Hello there,
I just wondered how people feel after they've self harmed or worse?
I tried to take my own life nearly two weeks ago, my mum and boyfriend are angry with me that I'm not still crying and depressed, but for me after I've hurt myself I feel slightly let down that I've failed to die, if I'm doing it to that extent, or just a huge sense of relief, and I'm back on track, and return to my normal self.
Does anyone else feel like this or are you permanently depressed.
Thanks xx

Maybe I'm not the best person to answer because I don't really do things when I'm low so much as at times that things are difficult in themselves. 

I recon for me, the bit just after everything is sorted is a sort of mini depression of its own, then sometimes I get up the next day after that and carry on as if I did nothing.  Other times what I did scares me and I am quite haunted by it for a long time afterwards and maybe the dip lasts longer with them.

Maybe sit with them and explain why you don't need to cry etc now
