So i’ve been away at university and I just moved back home. I relapsed after two years right on the side of my bicep and i’ve been wearing long sleeves to avoid showing it. But I can’t keep this up for too long bc the where i live we have very hot summers. So my parents are immigrants and where theyre from mental health isnt really a thing. So when my mental health really began to decline and i started cutting they were more scared than anything bc it’s not something they ever encountered which i dont blame them for. Any advice from people who’ve been in similar situations? How should i break the news? My plan was to just delay it and one day just wear a short sleeve shirt and address it then
