How do I deal with the guilt?

A couple of days ago I gave myself a concussion on purpose through self harm. Now I have said concussion (fucking sucks, don’t give yourself concussions) and everyone in my life who I have mentioned it to is incredibly sympathetic and wants to support me and make sure I’m doing ok.

I feel incredibly guilty mentioning it to anyone or having people feel bad for me or want to take care of me because I did this. It’s my fault I feel this way.

I know rationally that even if they knew I caused it most of them would still be sympathetic and actually probably more sympathetic because giving yourself a concussion indicates a larger problem than just a concussion, but that doesn’t make me feel better about it.

Does anyone have any advice about how to not feel guilty? Or at least can relate?
