My therapist was surprised today to hear that neither my husband nor my parents ever knew I was self harming when I did.
I had told a couple friends and my therapist at the time. But no one else.
I Can’t imagine ever telling either my parents or my husband, feel like it would just hurt them and make them worry.
When I was self harming it was to a degree which was easy to hide... no one would look at my wrists and automatically assume that.
Has anyone else here not told people very close to them about this part of their past (or current) situation?
