My friend has very depressing thoughts. A guy she thinks is the world no longer cares for her, and her world turned upside down. She constantly has negative thoughts, which bring her down and makes her feel suicidal. Please help me, as in I really need my friend to feel better.

The important thing to stress to your friend is that you are there for her no matter what. Tell her that she can tell you anything that she wants in a certain conversation and that you will not judge her for anything she days and that it will just stay between the two of you. Do not take her rejecting this option as an insult because it can be hard to talk to anyone about such a serious topic and even more so when you care for the other person. Let her know that you are there for her and make sure to complement her sincerely every day. Even if she doesn't want to talk about her depression it is important that she has a constant reminder that she is loved. Don't treat your friend differently because she is showing tendencies of depression since that would do the opposite of helping her. No matter what she may ask if your friend seriously says that she will kill herself let an adult know who can take her to a medical center and do not leave her unless the situation could hurt you. Losing your friend ship should not be a concern when your friend may lose her life.
