Oh that GP was completely out of order. I would complain and change gp either in the practice if that is possible or change practice.
You are right you were taking responsibility for yourself with your self harm. The NHS is there to help and yes there may be some people out there who could abuse that but you as your said were genuinely using the self harm as a way of coping, not a "look at me".
Good luck with complaint and i hope you feel better very soon. It can take a while to feel better after a talking to like that, and it sucks but in time things will feel better. I've had a similar run in with a therapist in another situation, and it does feel absolutely crap.

P.s I put in a verbal complaint so if you would like any more advice from my experience, drop me a pm if you would like to
