Try and help her dissect the problem. When we get depressed, our judgement gets clouded and we tend to view things in a far too negative light, seeing everything as hopeless and unchangeable.

Try asking her why these things are happening. Why is she failing on purpose? What keeps her awake? If it's a medical issue, encourage her, but don't pressure her to get help.

Other than that, just be there for her. Be her friend when she needs it most.
