Red face How to tell parents - March 22nd 2014, 09:49 PM

Hi everybody. After my recent relapse, I've finally decided I have no choice but to tell my parents about my SH after 6 full months of keeping it a secret. I've read a lot about how to tell them and what to say, but of course I'm still terrified about how they'll react. So here's what I have planned to say:
-what started the cutting
-why I continue to cut
-triggers
-who knows about the cutting
-other symptoms I have (like change in appetite, inability to concentrate, etc)
-how I don't blame anyone for my cutting
-why they can't take my tools away

Is this everything I need to say? Is there anything else I should include? Any input is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
