Yup. Don't hate on people because they can't help it. Some people just can't help the way they are.
But a big difference there is acting vs. chemical unbalance.
If she's doing it for attention thats bad. I wonder how old she is to be doing this.
Maybe they had a tough life (its all subjective really). Or depression runs in thier family. If its none of the above, then I don't know what to say to someone like that.
You are in a tough situation though, I think the best thing is to help her as much as you can, then break up with her but still be her friend, that way you don't feel bad and she won't feel like ur ditching her because you can't handle her.

See i'm not knocking someone who has a chemical imbalance, hell i'm bipolar and i'm court ordered to take ALLLLLLL sorts of pills every day, serequil (1,000 MG) Yes it's alot but it doesn't make me sleepy anymore, lithium (2 doses of 250 mg a day), trazadone (100 mg). So I know chemical imbalances but nowadays there are just so many teenagers and younger people who bitch and bitch about how bad their life sucks. Most wouldn't know real pain if it bit em' in the ass. I mean come on, your gonna kill yourself or mutalate yourself because of a bad relationship? Come on! You selfish fucker, do it and save everyone the problems and make sure you don't make a mess. But ANYWHO....

i honestly truely hate people who are depressed with a passion...
i mean it definitly depends if they inherit despression or if their family dies..
or they get raped...
but if there car breaks down or they have no money or if u need atention..
i have one thing to say to those people...
grow the hell up get some balls smoke a jay...

Self mutilation could be many of possible reasons. I agree with you that sm is stupid if you're doing it over bad breakup. Lets say problems run deeper than that. Lets put things into perspective and say that not only a bad breakup but everything in their life has fucked up.
But what do you say to someone who does it for attention? I'd say they're seriously messed up in the head.

i got this from a site.
Self-injury is a coping mechanism, a way to stay alive. People who inflict physical harm on themselves are often doing it in an attempt to maintain psychological integrity it's a way to keep from killing themselves. It reduces physiological and psychological tension rapidly.
