*TRIGGER WARNING S.I* I want to tell my parents
Hi everyone!
Apologies for the bluntness but I'm thinking of telling my parents that I self harm. I'm currently in therapy sessions for my PTSD/ Anxiety and I just thought it's time to tell them. However, I am scared senseless! I don't want to upset them and yet I know this will upset them... My parents know I'm not well, but... Am I being selfish by teling them this?
I would like honest opinions, not matter how brutal! My mind is not in the right place, at the moment so I'm unsure if i'm taking a step in the right direction or just being completely selfish and should shut up.
I thank you all for reading this! <3

Not many words right now but I really think you've made a good and brave decision to open up to your parents about your self harm, there may be initial upset but ultimately the more they know, the better they can help. Could you perhaps discuss this with your therapist and perhaps they can help/ make suggestions?

I depends on so many things. How old you are, your relation to your parents etc. So I would say it depends.

Hey I am not sure what you decided. However, if you are in therapy- do they know that? If so then working with your therapist would probably be best as the therapist might be able to provide you with some literature on self- harm for your parents or even have a session with them and you where they can mediate while you tell them.
I think that it is a big step towards getting them involved in your care. At the same time, like millwall said their response is not predictable- and may be positive or negative. Preparing yourself for either outcome will be very important in ultimately deciding if it is worthwhile.
