Self Injury Links
I don't want this list to get so long and complicated that it's more confusing than helpful, but there is such a wealth of information on the internet and so little everywhere else. I promise that I'll try to refrain myself and keep the links to a minimum.
Nothing is permanent, so if you find links that dont go anywhere or links that go to the wrong place, please email me at girlpaladin@f2s.com.
