Thanks everyone for replying. The letter isn't really an option because it just isn't how my family works. If I was away at school I could tell them online, but being home makes it different.
Telling them right away that I'm not depressed or suicidal sounds like a good idea. I think that will make them more anxious, but in the end I think it will help.
What do you think about me having someone with me? I'm not sure I would want to but I might be able to have my sister-in-law there. That might make things too awkward for my parents though, like they will feel they have to be careful of their reactions and what they say because she is there.
