I just don't know what else to do, I know my depression is playing a part here and I just hit a major trigger, and my support network is not available right now. I don't want to spiral, I want to stay in control so I can be helpful, a good friend.
I just feel like such a failiure.

You are not a failure. You can lead a horse to water but you can not force it to drink. You did lead, you did plant the seeds of knowledge in her that she now knows there are alternatives if she should so choose. She knows at least one person outside her relationship who believes and supports her. You did not fail.
