One of my best friends and I are going to live together for our senior year of college and I know she’s struggling with depression and anxiety among other things (bulima,drinking) and things have been getting worse recently. She’s pushing away her other friends, she’s mentioned suicide to me once (and if she’s mentioned it to me I’m sure she’s thought about it plenty more times) and I really want to help but I don’t know what to do, when to help, or where even is my place to help. 

She doesn’t like to talk to me about these problems that much. We have in the past but she is very easily embarrassed and she’ll never go into detail with me or she’ll straight up lie (especially about the drinking)

I try to let her know I care whether that is telling her directly, reading books/watching tv shows she’s into so we can talk about it together, hanging out or texting her randomly just so she knows I’m thinking of her. 

I know people will only accept help if they’re ready for it but because we will be living together and hanging out all summer do you have any advice on how I can support her? What do you wish the people in your life would say/do for you? 

(Or any other subs that would have good advice?)

TLDR: My depressed friend and I are living together next year at school and I want to know how I can support her
