i am so sorry you are going through this, that sounds incredibly heavy to carry. honestly, meth is such a monster and it changes people so fast that sometimes you feel like you're losing them even when they are standing right in front of you. i have seen some friends go down paths like that, and the hardest lesson i learned is that you really cannot save someone who isn't ready to save themselves. it hurts like hell, but you have to be careful not to drown while trying to pull her out.
the best thing you can do right now is set some really firm boundaries for your own sake. let her know you love her and you are there if she decides she wants to get clean, but make it clear that you won't be around the drug use or the chaos that comes with it. sometimes, that distance is the only thing that eventually makes them realize they have hit rock bottom and need help. do not give her money or let her drag you into her drama, because that will just enable the cycle.
if she is ever in a spot where she seems willing to listen, try to talk to her family or look up some local support groups for families of addicts. you need people to talk to as well, because this is a lot for one person to handle alone. please look after your own heart too, because you matter just as much as she does. stay strong.

I know how heavy this feels, and honestly, it’s heartbreaking to watch someone you care about go down that path. First off, you have to realize that you can’t force her to quit if she isn't ready. Meth is incredibly addictive and changes the way the brain functions, so her behaviors might not be the friend you've known for years. It’s not your fault that she’s making these choices, and you really need to set some firm boundaries so you don't get dragged down with her.
The best thing you can do is keep the door open but stay safe. Don't enable her habits, even if it feels like you're helping in the moment. If she's willing to talk, just listen without judging her too hard, because shame usually just makes people dig their heels in more. Try to suggest professional help or support groups when she’s in a lucid moment, but be prepared for a lot of pushback. It’s a super long and draining road, so please make sure you’re taking care of your own mental health too; you can't save anyone if you're completely burnt out.
