When someone Self-Mutilate they want to take control of their own pain. The kind of warning signs that someone Self-Mutilate is blood or burn stains on inside of clothings, locking themselves up in the bathroom for a long period of time, wearing long sleeves or pants on a hot day, becoming very defensive when questioned about wounds or scars. If a friend tries to Self-Mutilate be empathetic, compassionate, kind and caring to them. Put aside your own feelings or revulsion, disgust or fears. Whatever you do Don't ignore them, Don't take it personally, Don't say insensitive things like - why would you want to do something like that. If you Self-Mutilate try to get ur feelings out by throwing ice at a brick wall, breaking sticks, go jogging, hit or punch a bag or pillow.
