Hey there Crystal,

It's great that you've decided to let someone close to you know!

As for what should be in the email, it really depends on what you think he would be comfortable with. Though I think the bare minimum would be a safe bet, if you're not sure with what he would be able to handle. Something that he would want to know is the reason for your self-injuring, because it may make it easier for him to understand.

Oh and also include what you hope he can help you with. Like is this an email for him to just know about it or would you like some emotional support?

I hope this helped,

Kyra
