You could easily be right about all of these things. Really, the best thing that you can do is be a friend, suggest getting help but don't push it too hard if she resists the idea, and take care of yourself - don't let her drag you down. People don't get better until they want to get better, so just make sure that you don't get wrapped up in her problems to the extent that you are working at it harder than she is. That said, I needed and wanted help for a long time but couldn't actually take the first step myself until a friend told me I should go to counseling. I needed the nudge or permission even from somone. You are a good friend to care about her and notice these things and want to help.
