Friend with risky behaviour.

[KylieBana]

Hello, advice and opinions needed!
I am an empathetic person who has previously made lots of friends with people who don't have many other friends or have special emotional needs. This is because I am usually very understanding. I also live with many ongoing health conditions and have had different tough experiences so I tend to also like other people who understand hardship etc.

However my empathy for one friend has not been activating at all lately. For the many years I have known her she has always had very dire needs and there is always a major drama going on in her life for which I have shown support to some extent although I have not always known how. I have also always known her to be a risk taker. Unsafe driving, faulty cars, unsafe sex with strangers etc. Other behaviours include talking about suicide as though it would be a my fault if she killed herself because I wasn't in the same country at the time and drinking and taking drugs when she gets into a very dark depression.
Currently her health is in a very bad way with depression and a serious infection in her belly which is related to a suspected disease. So she will tell me of the terrible affect this has on her life but she admits to drinking while on medications when doctors told her not to, she currently works 7 days, day and night and takes almost no time for addressing the diseases she has. She often expresses that she feels she needs someone in her life to do these things for her. Like a partner who will sort out her life for her.

I have never once told her what to do. I only just listen. Do you think it would have been better if over the years I had said something along the lines of " at some point you just have to put your health first". I've tried encouraging for her to see a psychologist but she complains of not being able to afford it even though she will spend money on alcohol. I am usually happy to listen, but now I have a feeling that I'm encouraging the drama by always giving an ear. I'm also now tired from worrying about her.

What should I say or do?
