I would also agree that it falls under self harm. Many, many things can fall under self harm that either aren't life threatening, or even things we consciously do with the intent to harm ourselves. Even things like staying up too late can be considered self harm in a similar context, because it's harmful to you.
I'm sorry you weren't able to discuss it like you wanted, and their reaction was not something you had been prepared for. That really sucks.
