OP, you have been a saint to this careless, selfish friend of yours. Like another has said, I would eliminate her from your life, as you care more about hers than she does herself. Better to distance yourself now before she's passed on and leaving you feeling a lifetime of guilt.
You can't force her to get mental help unfortunately. You have done what you can. It is up to her to quit her reckless behavior and be an actual friend to you. If she refuses to do that, she is not worth your time and energy.

I hope you are looking after yourself Fluffykins, other people's problems, especially of such a dramatic nature, can suck the life out of anyone. I admire your loyalty and support for your friend and glad she seems to be relatively stable at the moment.
I have dealt with someone of a similar nature and found colaborating with their family to be of some help, I dont know what this girls parents are like but maybe you could voice your experience and concerns to them??
I dont know this girls story but she may be subconciously trying to test the support of those who care about her, in an effort to prove that nobody really does care and creating a self-fullfilling prophesy in the process?
It is important that the people who care about her are more empowered than she is ATM as she seems to be so hell bent on self-destruction. Its a delicate issue, she needs serious, help and care- the sooner the better.

My heart was in my throat for the duration of this thread. For so many reasons. Love and prayers going out to OP's troubled friend.
After reading all 5 pages of this thread, I'm kind of disgusted with the level of censorship going on. Bluelighters can be rude as shit (as I've experienced firsthand), but in this case I think the outrage, disgust and other unpleasant emotions are completely justified. This woman's attitude is infuriating! Love, support and medical advice are obviously the most constructive approach, but damn mods! Can we not voice our opinions at all here?

Yes you can. It's harder nowadays, but you certainly can get someone checked in if they're a threat to themselves or others. It would really be her parents responsibility tho.
