I know your feel this is your fault, but it isnt. if your friend thinks that her doing that will make you stop she really doesnt realise that shes making it worse that way.
you are not to blame and i know shes your friend and you love her and all but what shes doing sounds like such a horrible horrible thing to do, and honestly doesnt sound like a thing a friend who understood would do. honestly it makes her more of a bad friend than her - because as we all know self harm isnt as easy to stop as it appears - if she respected the difficulty your facing or even knew how hard it was then she wouldnt do it. i know if i was in your place her od would actually trigger me to selfharm more!
you did the right thing getting her to hospital, so dont feel bad over that!
talk to her about it - help her understand properly and allow her to know that what shes doing is not ever going to help - threating to od is not a good way, or sane way to help someone else.
