If her friend is using fandom as an escapism because of some trouble she's going through in her life, I don't think anyone else ought to come in and try to remove it from her. I doubt "maturity" is the issue here. Sometimes people are aware of their coping methods, and sometimes they need them in order to cope with other stuff in their life.

OP, my suggestion is to let her know you're not into the fandom anymore, but you're still willing to take an interest in stuff that interest her, the way friends do. I used to have a friend who loved fashion which I couldn't care less about, but I still enjoyed listening to her talk about it because she got so excited about it.

That's nice. I didn't say anything about removing fandom from her life, though, I said that it might be beneficial for her to find a little more emotional detachment from fandom. Escapism can indeed be helpful, but when you find yourself in the position that your escapism stresses you out and drastically alters your mood for the worse like OP describes, then it's not a very good coping mechanism.
