Hi everyone,  With the help of soyunacutre, I have created a list of zines about mental health that are available in PDF, please feel free to have a look at them and message me or reblog adding a comment if you want to suggest more. Let’s make this list bigger! :) Please be aware that I haven’t read all of them so don’t know the specific triggers that they might contain but expect at least depression, suicide, eating disorders, sexual abuse, etc. I recommend you to read the intro of each zine to avoid potential triggering situations. 

Let me know if a link is broken or you’re the author of one of these zines and for whatever reason you don’t want it in this list.
