how?
i'm stuck on how to talk to the people that i live with about my si. they are my two best friends and i know that they will want to help me in any way that they can, but how do i approach them?
Yeah, if you can try and get it straight in your head what things you want to say it will be easier.
Don't try and talk to them when they are busy or on their way somewhere etc. Maybe try an evening when you are all in and say you want to talk to them about something.
You could explain that it's hard for you to have the conversation.
Be prepared for them to be a little shocked and give them time for it to sink in. These people are your friends and it's always hard to hear that a friend is in pain.
I hope it goes well.

First you need to figure out what you hope to accomplish by telling them you self-injure. Why are you telling them? How will this help you? What are any possible consequences of telling them?
Once you can figure this out, you can then figure out exactly WHAT you need to tell them. Knowing what to say is a big step and it can also determine how you tell them.
