Self-Injury: You are NOT the only one :: http://www.palace.net/~llama/psych/intro.html
"This site is meant to help you understand that you are doing nothingshameful -- you are maintaining psychological integrity with the only tool you have right now. It's a crude and ultimately self-destructive tool, but it works; you get relief from the overwhelming pain/fear/anxiety in your life. For some, though, there comes a breakthrough moment when they realize that change is possible, that they can escape, that things can be different. I hope that when you leave this site, you will have come closer to that moment."
Young People and Self-Harm :: http://www.selfharm.org.uk/default.aspa
If you or a loved one experiences self-injury symptoms, this is a good place to come for information, ways to seek help, and what to expect when seeking treatment. A British organization.
