I don't know what to do. My sister cuts herself and I'm 90% sure she starves herself, too. I want to tell our parents but I feel like they will yell at her and make it worse, what do I do?

Fictional Crushes Are a Pain in the Arse
Fictional crushes are fine if you're a teenager. But once you are an adult, they become awful. As an adult, I have no experience with dating, barely any friends...

is this the right way of cutting someone from my life.
This happened when I was 16 i had an fb account which my mom took it away as she thought I was too dumb to handle a social media. That time i didn't mind cause...
Hi there, if you think your parents will make it worse, you might be right. I suffered from self harm & anorexia for years, and when someone told my parents they yelled at me and threatened to lock me up and it made it SO MUCH WORSE.
More than anything, your sister probably needs someone she can trust. It sounds like that’s you. Can you talk to her and reassure her that you won’t tell her secret? Gain her confidence first, then ask her what she needs to recover. That’s what I wish I had.
I ended up mostly recovering, but I had to do it alone and it was very hard. This is because the incident with my parents drove me further away. To this day I’m not close with them anymore. I wish I had a sibling or friend who could’ve just listened without judging. Try being that for your sister. If things get worse you can always change your strategy. But for now she needs to trust someone.
ReplySeek help. First converse with your sister. It's nice to care for each other and I'm sure more than anything your sister needs the right support. And while it's good to have each other, it's also good to have others support too. If not your parents, best to find folks you both can trust on this.
ReplyIt's time to dig deep in her heart by asking some therapeutic questions. Get to the root of it. Make a point to her with questions.
