How to get friend to stop her nonsense lifestyle?

We've been besties for at least 4 years now. However, for the last 2 years I feel like she's treating me as if I am her therapist or counselor.

She has serious problems with gaming, always spending money on games as if there is no tomorrow. Not only that but I suspect she is anorexic. Eating only one meal a day. I have told her so many times about how concerned I was about those problems but every single time, she tries to defend herself with how eating makes her have diarrhea.

She complains to me every single day about her family and school. Im getting so tired of it as theres really nothing that is cheerful coming out of her. We hardly even hang out anymore. Ive invited her out so many times in the past and out of all, she refused to go 70% of the time because she wanted to stay home and play games. So I got tired of her refusals so I invited other friends to outings and get-togethers. When she would find out I didnt bother to invite her, she makes a huge fuss about it.

Whenever I make an opinion or idea of something, shes always finding a way to criticize it. Whenever I noted out a mistake she made, again with the criticizing to try to prove how shes judgmentally correct.

I still want to stay friends with her. But I am really fed up with all the complaining, how shes always downgrading my opinions with her critics, and especially her messed up lifestyle. I really want her to realize this but I just dont know how to say it because she would most likely criticize my concerns.
