Get her some brochures from counselling places in your area. Research help line phone numbers and ask her to call them.
You could just listen to what she says - without any judgement or comments. I mean purely just listen. It's called active listening. See the link below for instructions. Might sound silly to learn how to listen, but I know it's very helpful.
If you're friend is willing to meet with a counsellor then support her whole heartedly. She cares about some things. Try and remind her of good times she's had.
If she's suicidal it's your obligation as a friend to get her into treatment quickly. Call the help lines yourself, and advise them of your friends situation. They'll lead you in the right direction too.
Best of luck

depending on how close you are to them.. but if you care about them you should try to get them out and have some fun now and then. Try to cheer them up time to time. Life is a rollercoaster of bad experiences and the brain naturally remembers the negative over the positive. Try to outweight the negative. Some people do this whole oh poor me as an act though for attention try to avoid these people.

I hope she's seeking therapy, if not, you could suggest that. Also, she needs a happy, cheerful face. Be supportive of her, try to get her out, and about. This happened to me, and everyone disappeared in my life, with the exception of my daughter's. I took medication, saw a therapist, but felt indifferent about everything. I didn't realize I was pushing people away, so no matter what she says, take her out on sunny days, and help her find that life that she's missing. Good Luck.

that is such a hard place to be in but i understand your friends side because i used to be just like that.... i had been hurt so many times that i felt like i was numb to feelings....i felt like my heart really was gone because i had no emotions.....i could never take my own life either but did go through a phase of cutting myself....i could feel the pain when i would do it and it made things better because then i knew i could still feel something even if it was pain.....my friends were there for me the whole time and even if you don't feel like you are doing enough to help her, pushing her will make it worse....just being there to sit and watch tv or sleep or anything with them is doing something because they aren't alone....show that you are concerened and willing to do what it takes to help but try not to judge them or their actions......if you have never been there you dont understand what it feels like.....just be there if they need you it may not seem like much but it means so much more than you think...
