I Used to Self Harm

I haven't self harmed in about 7 months, but I really feel like doing it today. When/If I do, what is the best way to tell my therapist, without really telling my therapist (Such that he would be legally required to report me to the higher authorities?!)

there's no need why you should start doing it again. It isn't going to help you in any way. Talk to people who are close to you and be absolutely honest about your feelings.

@switchfoot I can't just tell people I want to kill myself.

@ChubbyCheesecake You can. Also why you want to take such a decision. If you think nobody understands then straightaway change your therapist

@switchfoot They would understand, but in my state, therapists are legally required to inform the police if a client of theirs expresses suicidal thoughts. I don't want to go to jail again.

@ChubbyCheesecake That doesnt sound right. Just because someone have suicidal thoughts, put them in Jail? How does that work out
