on some level yes we have when it comes to things like self harm. but we talk with ours a lot about how we don't need to hurt ourselves or do something physically to prove we are not okay or struggling. how instead we can use our words, even if they are not the best words to explain things. and she will believe us. the fact that she does believe us is really important.
definitely would be something worth talking to your therapist human about so you can work through it together.
why would it be important to you to scare her? what would that accomplish? what other safer ways can you do whatever it is that not eating would? if you've been starting to get better, what has worked so far that you can try?
it is a really hard time of year when they are off for so long. did your therapist human help you set up any arrangements for support while they are gone?
