tomorrow

[painful paradice]

tomorrow i tell my therapist i've been cutting and burning myself. tomorrow all of my fears could be realized. my family could throw a fit and kick me out. i could chicken out and prove to myself that i am nothing but a weak coward, or all heck could break loose. here's hoping it goes okish. if my grandparents don't react then, i know where i stand. if they overreact then there's a good chance i'll hurt myself again.
wish me luck people

Hey, I dunno if you live in the UK and the laws are different, but here in the US you can tell your therapist not to tell your family. Hell, my mom doesn't know I practically have DID, just because I asked my therapist not to tell her. You need to tell your family eventually, but maybe getting the coping skills and help first would be better? At any rate, I hope it turns out well for you. You're amazingly brave.

Good luck!
Just do what feels right.
Telling someone should definitely help, they can support you and get you through it so you dont have to be alone. Just don't think about the bad things that could happen it will just make you more nervous and it's not necessary.
You can do it, we believe in you. Don't back out now. :-)
