Self harm/mental illness

I suffer from an eating disorder and self harm, I have a boyfriend and I haven’t told him yet, should I tell him? And any advice how to tell him?
That's up to you, but don't force yourself to tell him if you don't feel comfortable yet. Tell him when you are ready.

As for advice, tell him to sit down somewhere quiet and that there's something you need to talk to him about. From there, let the conversation proceed naturally.

I feel like you should tell him as you should have an open relationship where you can talk about these things, and most likely he'll understand and try and help you because he cares about you so i think you should just have a chat with him about it.

If you see things working out in the long term then it's better to open up to him. A healthy relationship involves communication and honesty.

If he doesn't accept you for you then you know he's not worth your time.
