Did I just lose half a million dollars by sending WETH to WETH's contract address?

Please tell me that I didn't :(

Edit: Full story. Sent ETH to WETH contract and got WETH back (after some googling I found this is how the contract works). Assumed it works the same way backwards and sent WETH back to the contract. No ETH back. Apparently you have to use a frontend to get the ETH back. ETH lost forever.

Edit 2: Thanks strangers. I am really happy to see lots of kind hearted people in the comments and chat. This is a significant amount of money for anyone to lose and it was the case for me as well. I was under the stress of some other things in my life and made a bigger mistake by making assumptions in this wild early technology. But, I will be OK.

Edit 3: I am also sorry that this was a negative event for the perception of cryptocurrencies. The last thing I would want in this world :( A life-changing lesson for me, but definitely something to work on as a community as well.
