So today after practice, i kinda told one of my teammates i SH. he knows the struggle of it, He has done it and his GF has issues with it. but Shit. i don't know if i can make sure he keeps quiet

I think you are safe that someone who has struggled with it will keep it in confidence.
It is those who don't understand who are likely to blab about it.

[CharlieHorse]

He sounds like he understands.
Ask him sincerely to not spread the word. What makes you think he'll tell others?

[Katiya]

I doubt he'd tell if he's gone through it. I wouldn't tell on someone

[sqishy]

I agree with the others above.

[Suzette52]

I agree allthis post. I really impressed by it.

[ByXaz]

I'm pretty sure he won't say anything if he's gone through it. In my experience it's the people who don't understand who go around telling everyone.

Self harm can be a really personal subject, im sure if hes a good friend and respects your wishes he will keep quiet.
But just remember if he tells an adult, its because hes worried, although i would cut ties if he goes around making fun of you.

[Luminous]

It sounds like he understands. Your secret is probably safe with someone who also SH, unless you know that that person would want to damage your rep.

[Throwaway24]

If he really knows how u feel he will keep his mouth shut. Don't worry about it.

His girlfriend has issues with self harm, and he has had trouble in the past. Therefore, he knows what it feels like; the fear of people finding out, the amount of pain you feel in general, and so on. I doubt he'd tell anyone. Besides, think of this; would he go around telling his girlfriend that she has troubles with harming herself? I know it may be a bit different since it's his significant other, but it's still a serious topic. However, if you want to tell him that you don't want it to go around, tell him to keep it secret when you can. I'm sure he'll understand. c:

For your sake I sure do hope he doesn't tell anyone.And kudos to you for opening up.This is my first time ever admitting I self-harm.

[Imaustinigeuss]

well if u told him u must trust him enpugh to have him heel SHHHH and next time u see him tell him to keep shhh and he obviously knows the effects it plays on people

[Lile]

I think you can be calm with this :) exactly, he knows it. I think he said about his experiences, just because you told yours.

[mermaidfairy]

I don't think that he will tell anyone about it because he has gone through it before, and his girlfriend has gone through it. He knows what you're going through so I don't think he'll go off and tell anyone. If anything, you can approach him and let him know that you really don't want him to tell anyone because you just aren't ready for that yet. But, maybe the two of you can become a support system for one another when things get too rough, so both of you have someone to talk to instead of self harming.

If his girlfriend self harms and he is in a relationship with them, i don't see how he would judge you for it - especially if he's struggled with it himself
