About:
~♥Welcome to Makes Me Feel♥~

The goal of this community is now and always has been support. This is a place that I created for you to vent out your deepest darkest emotions. We here at Makes_Me_Feel, understand that this is an extremely personal topic and probably not something that you can talk about with your friends in real life or your family. So we are here to help you understand that you are not alone. There are many other people out there who are just like you and can help you. It can sometimes be difficult to belive that you are not alone... especially when you have fallen into the heart of your Self Injury. Hopefully we can change that.

~♥~This is also a place to go if you have questions regarding SI. We understand that you are going to do it regardless of what we say here at Makes_Me_Feel, but we can at least offer suggestions to help keep you safe. Also, if you have a friend of family member who activley injures or is in recovery, we might be able to answer questions you may have, but are to afraid to ask of them.

~♥You Can Post:♥~

just about anything you want!!! including but not limited to:
~~poems,
~~rants (if they are long, please place behind an lj cut)
~~pictures of your scars. how ever please note: because pictures are triggering place them behind a cut with a warning, saying they are pictures please note: do not post pictures of your self just for the sake of posting them... or to because your fishing for compliments.. this is not cam_whores
~~cross posts from other communities are allowed.... how ever please do not link to another community unless it is related

~~there is no rule against triggering posts, pictures or poems... however, please take others feelings into consideration and post them behind a cut with a warninG. PLEASE STATE WHETHER IT IS A PICTURE OR A POST.

~~triggering = anything that is sexually violent or descriptive. or pictures of cutting, scars or blood. please be smart and safe about what you post and what you choose to look at. while we as mods can control what is publicly viewed we cannot control what you look at. if you are triggered by anythign you read or saw that you looked at voluntarily under a cut.. it is not our fault.

~~ triggering icons are NOT allowed. if you are unsure about them.. please either ask or just dont use it.
*YOU WILL BE BANNED FOR USING TRIGGERING ICONS. ...NO IFS AND OR BUTTS*


~~~ please do not promote any community without first asking the maintainer. any and all posts containing promotions for other communityies will be warned against and then deleted. in sort:
*PLEASE DONT ADVERTISE FOR ANOTHER COMMUNITY WITHOUT ASKING ME FIRST. THOSE POSTS WILL BE DELETED*

~~there are some young members in the community (i.e under 18) If you have pictures of scars that include nudity either clear it with me first (at: xtragicbloodx@yahoo.com) or post it behind a an lj cut with a warning that it is both triggering and contains nudity.
For questions regarding how to do a live journal cut, please check out the FAQ section here:

~♥Rules:♥~

*yes there are many. but those of you who have been here a while know why. you either live by them or your out. frankly, if you cant follow simple rules...you will trigger others and cos people to cut... which is exactly what we are here to stop doing. Do not question my rules or my authority. Myself and the mods are here for your protection. If you dont like it... tough. We have been together now for over a year and have had out shre of trolls and trouble makers. I'm sorry if these rules are "harsh" or "mean" but that is how it has to be! on to the rules:

1.)this is a community for support... no entry should go un-answered.. remember we are here to try to be supportive. Read ALL rules before posting or commenting!!!

2.)Please stay on topic here. This is designed for you to have a place to release these emotions. Quizes are acceptable if they are appropriate and behind an lj cut if the pictures are too graphic. However,this is not a place to post "which leonardo dicaprio character am i most likely to have sex with" quizes
Along the same lines:

*DO NOT POST ABOUT OTHER ISSUES IN THIS COMMUNITY -- yes we understand that eating disorders and abuse and cutting are some what intertwined.. but there are communties designed for eating disorders and abuse.. those posts should go there. See the *Supported Communities* section for communites of this nature.

3.)NO FLAMING/TROLLING!!!!
IMPORTANT:
This site logs all ip addresses. if a mod or myself sees anything inappropriate it will be deleted and you will be given a warning. 2 times: you will be banned from the community. do not harass the people in this community. i can not stress this enough.

4.) Any derogatory posts will be deleted!! This is not a place to bash people because of color, sex, creed, sexual orientation, race or anything else you could find "wrong" with someone. Again.. do this on your own time, in your own journal if you must. NOT HERE

5.)ALL POSTS MUST BE FRIENDS ONLY. NEW RULE KIDS.. LEARN IT!!!! ANY NON-FRIENDS ONLY POST WILL BE DELETED IMMEDIATELY UPON IT'S DISCOVERY... NO MORE WARNINGS

6.)SI is very serious. If you do not SI, or don't know someone who does, and are in here to lie simply for the attention, take it someplace else. We are here to support each other, help each other not babysit people who are desperatly in need of attention

7.) On your first post in the communtity please use the subject line "hiding my scars". Failure to do so will get you removed from the communitity. We are not playing anymore!!!

8.) you MUST introduce yourself upon being accepted or we'll just kick you right back out. There are too many people in this community who lurk and neither post or comment...and we are here for support not to lurk. so

9.) DO NOT ADVISE PEOPLE IN MY COMMUNITY ON WAYS TO COMMIT SUICIDE!!!!!!! you get 1 warning. do not tempt me or test that, because i will kick you out!
~♥~

~♥~Cutting or any form of SI is not a game and can be life threatening. If you are seriously contemplating suicide by any means (not just by cutting) or have hurt yourself too severly this is serious!!!
