I need some advice...

So I've been self-harm clean for awhile, but last night, I was having an anxiety attack, and my mind just left me or something, and my boyfriend went to sleep, so I was alone. He said I could wake him up by calling his phone if I needed him, but I didn't want to bother him, but I texted him a few times, because I needed to get thoughts out. I also relapsed last night, so I have fresh cuts on my thighs. In the morning, he was angry with me and thought I was guilt-tripping him for going to sleep. In reality, I haven't told him about the cuts because I'm trying to avoid making him feel bad, but I know if he finds out without me telling him, he'll be upset, and he cares and he'd want to know. Do you think it'd be better for me to bite the bullet and tell him myself or risk him finding out on his own?

I think you should tell him...he is your boyfriend and he loves you and would want to know. It's good to have someone who you can tell those things and talk about them, also he will be there for you to help you get through it.

Tell him. If you don't, he might feel very hurt and may think you don't care about him.

Thanks, guys. You were right, and I did end up telling him.
