Answer 2

I think you have to assure her that you will be there for her whatever happens. Try also to make conversation and things in her life positive, constant negativity makes depression. Encourage her to get out and enjoy herself (this may be more difficult), maybe get a job if she doesn't work already.

As someone who has suffered in the past I know to sit and dwell in ones own self pity is not good, you'll not be able to MAKE her do something she doesn't want to, but you can encourage her
