I agree with much of what has been said above. I was in a relationship like that, calls for hours wanting my support; she always wanted to discuss her problems but not mine. She'd call and complain about all the same things, her family, her on and off boyfriend and did mention wanting to take a bunch of pills a few times. It was exhausting.
Then one time that I tried to say I understood how she was feeling about something, basically being stuck in a bad living situation, which I was for quite a while, she said I had no idea what she was going through and that my situation was not so bad. Then she said none of my problems were anywhere near what hers were. It hit me then how unequal the situation was. And I sort of wondered if her family and her boyfriend were such bad people as she made them out to be. It hit me I didnīt need someone like that in my life, especially after she offered several non-apologies. I blocked her and have no regrets. Plus, I wouldnīt feel like I could discuss my "silly little" problems with her after that.
Silver Trees had a VERY good point in that as an adult she is responsible for her mental health. Threatening suicide is emotional abuse and manipulation. I would block this person if I were you.
