How can I tell my friends or family that I self-harm?

Approach them when you feel most comfortable, when you feel you're all at ease. Be serious and open.

You can express to them in a letter what you gotta say to them and hand it to them when you're ready to tell them if youre not ready to say it face to face, I know it can be hard. Otherwise, if youre up for it, you can always try practicing in the mirror what youre going to say to friends/family when you tell them and be mindful what their reactions may be and be ready for it. Stay strong remember! :)

Telling someone you self harm can be extremely scary but it's a good step towards healing as it's always great to have some support ❤️Choose someone you trust, practise what you want to say privately first and then just talk to them ❤️ Sometimes it's easier to start with a letter and then speak to them in person. In the beginning don't share graphic details that might scare them and also be prepared for them to ask questions as it is likely this will be unexpected and they might be shocked and may not understand it at first.

This one is never easy, but the best thing to do would to be tp sit them down and tell them striaght forward dont try to sugar coat it or anything

Telling a family member or friends that you self harm is a tough thing to do. You just have to tell them so you can get then help you need.

The best way to tell your loved ones about your problem is to be mature, calm, and patient. You need to tell them directly, without beating around the bush, and be prepared for them to freak out a little. It's a big deal, although it may not seem like it to you. But you have to stay calm and rational, help them understand that you have a problem and you need help. Also, before you tell someone, make sure you know that they will be respectful and that they won't use this information against you.

It may help to tell a trusted parent first, then the rest accordingly, because the reaction will probably be worse if they just find out rather than them being told.

Sit them down in a place that you're comfortable in and tell them that you've been having some problems with your emotional state which led to the want and/or need to self harm.

Well think about who to tell specifically and how they would react. It's a good thing to find help

It might be helpful to wait until you feel safe/comfortable in a situation and then tell them that you would like to discuss a serious topic and hope they can keep an open mind and that you are looking for help.
