A liscenced therapy dog, or honestly any half-decently-behaved pet, would likely be a big comfort to her if she is really needing company and depressed. I would suggest the liscenced one if (if you are renting) it would make any difference on allowance of an animal or a higher deposit/payments.
Also even small steps toward independence is good, so perhaps encourage her to try (on some short time you will be away) to try going the whole pre-set duration without texting you. Or perhaps set a short timer for a set amount of alone time one day, and then the same time every week on the same day, and then on two days of the week, and so on, so she can start adjusting to spending short amounts of time not having to be around you or contact you?
Before this can be done though you would have to confront her about your concern about the affects of her behavior on her and your well-being, and that you'd like to help in some way you would then suggest.
Good luck I hope things get better.

The only thing you can do is be honest while being mindful. You have to establish that as much as you understand this person's situation and anxieties, that you require boundaries for your own mental and emotional wellbeing, which includes privacy. Have a genuine heart-to-heart and see if you can't offer this person a better way of coping, like an online group therapy session for people with depression/anxiety about being alone.
Well, drinking and taking medications don't mix, I knew a woman who had a bad heart was on heart medication and made a statement that she was going to my cousin's wedding if it killed her, she went to the wedding and drank the whole night, she came home late put a pizza in the oven for her and her son, who was like age 13 at the time and they had it, she went to bed and that night she died in her sleep, So it's not good to drink and take medications and being depressed, she may become suicidal and take her life you need to seek help from someone even if it's a social worker from the local Hospital to talk to her and let them know what's going on and your worried about her well being cause anything can happen
Don't allow her problems to run your life. When you are out, ignore her texts. Tell her "I'll be out for a while, back around..." Then don't reply to her.

Hey please ignore her. Make your boundaries clear. I had an exact roommate like that.
Unfortunately she exploited me because I felt bad for her. She snatched me from my social circle, didn't let me study and started comparing herself to me, got jealous of me, when I took my space, she used to get upset then she called others on my room. I got angry at her and that's how we grew apart. SHE WASTED MY TIME and my studies kinda got affected because of that fake bitch. I found out she was a BIG GOSSIPER and a backstabbing snake. She can do anything to please people.If somebody is alone, prayer and meditation can help. I know I feel like I have a constant companion available to me 24 hours a day 7 days a week because of God.
Encourage her to find some hobbies that might make her appreciate some alone time, or make other friends from a group of similar people, and even counselling.
Very weird. You should probably get a new roommate or something.

She sounds like your her mom you better talk to her
Oh wow I sound like your roommate haha don’t know how to help sorry
Use her codependency and make her to your personal slave.
That's the price you have to pay for getting pussy. Men always deal with this kind of thing. You wouldn't have this problem if you had stayed straight.
Maybe an emotional support animal would help.
Get her attached to a guy friend
doesn't sound very healthy
Are they single?
Not good
find her a nice guy.
Well alright then
