Ok wow, i just read your first post and i HAD a friend who was the same exact way! we had been friends for 10 years and i finally broke it off with her because i just couldn't take it anymore. she was making me so crazy i went on anti-anxiety medication! She too went "suicidal" on me MANY times but it was all a cry for attention. She liked to think that she was a great listener but it was always all about her. Oh god, and then when i got really serious with this guy she went ballistic even tho she herself was very serious with a guy and was living with him. it was a very very bad and unhealthy siutation for me.
finally i just couldn't take it anymore and told her flat out that she was slowly killing me and i needed a break from her. I told her i couldn't deal with her attention seeking behavior anymore and her crying 'suicide' all the time was making it a thousand times worse. every time she did that i of course would drop everything no matter what i was doing or what time it was or where i was so i could go to her. Well not anymore. if she was seriously 'suicidal' then she would have done it already. she was her boyfriends problem now and not mine any longer.
well its been 2 years now and i haven't seen or heard from her since. personally i've been so much better off. not on meds anymore. and just happier in general.
a friendship is not a true friendship if it is harmful in any way.
