You don't have to keep someone in your life just because they are struggling. If they are hurting you, you owe it to yourself to leave. I was friends with someone who suffered from depression, like myself, but she was incredibly manipulative. She'd get upset if I'd talked to other people that she didn't like, even if it was just cordial, she was incredibly clingy, and threatened self-harm if she felt I wasn't paying enough attention to her. It got to the point that I dreaded having to speak with her, because I was never sure if my words were going to upset her or not. This went on for almost two years until I possessed enough self-esteem to leave, and I am much better for it. Her partner tried to guilt me into coming back, because 'that's not what friends do, she's depressed and needs you,' which kind of just reinforced my decision. It was hard, but well worth it.
I dated someone like that for three years. She'd manipulate and guilt-trip me into all sorts of things, often including things of a sexual nature. It was really toxic and abusive, and I ended up having to block all contact to her completely just to get her to leave me alone. Looking back on that time is still pretty painful.Look after yourself first.
