One of my good friends has been suffering with depression for some time now. We've been through a lot, and I genuinely care about her and want her to feel better but she doesn't seem to make an effort to change her life. She's 23, she smokes a lot of pot, lives at home with her mother, doesn't have a job or go to school, she's in major debt, and she recently got addicted to coke. She calls constantly and tries to give me guilts whenever I tell her that I'm not interested in hanging out. I've tried to push her into counseling but she screamed at me and told me that I was a selfish *****, who couldn't listen to her friends problems. It's not the case, as I want to help but Im dealing with my own life and am recovering from anorexia. Whenever she calls and I tell her that I'm not interested in drinking my sorrows away at a bar, she then starts going off at me and telling me that this may be the last time we talk, because she's considering suicide. I don't know how to help. Ideas
