Welcome all!
Just a note to say that we need everyone to abide by the Community Rules (http://community.mentalhelp.net/faq.php) which are posted inside the FAQ (http://community.mentalhelp.net/faq.php) section. These rules are an attempt to balance the needs people have for self-expression with the needs the community has for an atmosphere of safety and comfortableness.
Please take some time now to read the rules over (http://community.mentalhelp.net/faq.php) and familiarize yourselves with them so that we can keep this place feeling safe for all.
The biggest things with regard to self-injury posts is to make sure to
1) only post about self-injury in this self-injury forum
2) label the titles of any posts which discuss self-injury in anything approaching graphic language with some warning tag, e.g., [TRIGGER!] or [SI] or something like that.
3) don't be too graphic in your descriptions (no glorification)
This enables people who don't want to or can't deal with this topic to avoid it.
