I hid it then my parents found out when I ended up in hospital. They were really hurt because they had no idea. If I could change anything it would be to have confided in them earlier that way I would have had extra support and it wouldn't have been so much of a shock to them. I still try and hide it from my family, but it's a big relief having your family know even if you dint want to talk about it to them much like I dont. Maybe try writing it all down if you'd struggle to say everything face to face that way you say everything you want to say etc etc. That's what I do it's much easier. Jess x
