Welcome to Just-An-Exit

This is a group for people involved with self injury.

---

There have been some people who have watched the group without noting or commenting asking to join, if you don't note or comment I won't add you since I'm not sure if you want to join or just watch.
If you don't know how to note that's fine, just leave a comment on the userpage since I check that anyway.

---

We need a new group avatar and ID, for more info go to: [link]

---

Anybody is welcome to join, you do not have to have any thing related to self injury in your work, you just have to have some kind of personal experience with it.

---

To join:
Note the group and I will add you to the journal.
Add the group to your watch list.
Add the groups icon to your journal, and signature.

---

If you would like to submit work to the group please note also and I will add it to the gallery.
As of yet there is nothing much up here, but that is because this is only a new group.

---

Please do NOT comment or fav work in the gallery, as this doesn't give credit to the artist who created them. I will include links to both the artist and the work, so it doesn't take much effort at all to go to their work. I won't chase anyone [I really don't have the time] but for the sake of the artist please respect this.

---

I also have to get around to making a new avatar [as pixellated gif looks really bad] and when we have more members I will organise things like competitions and other group activity type things.

I decided to change the avatar to make it less triggering, although I still see it as the old one [but I remember dA has done the same thing many times when the avatar has been changed but the deviant still sees their old one...For whatever curious reason] Someday we will get a better one though.

---

I would like this to be a kind and caring place, where people can come and meet others with similar experiences and interests [namely self injury obviously].

---

If you feel the urge to abuse anybody within this group [thats means any kind of smart arse comments, to straight out abuse and discrimination] then please know that anything you can say has been said before, it means nothing, and is a waste of time and energy by your saying it.
And to reply in advance to any such comments we might get, all I have to say is And well done on making this world a much more loving and accepting place.

---

I thought I should also say, I do NOT want this to become a place where people want to submit crappy, grainy attention-seeking images of self injury or anything like that.
I do not like those who are attention seeking, not only does it completely degrade yourself, but it also gives those who use self injury as a serious form of release [or pleasure, or body modification, or whatever the reason] a bad name.
