Hi twigimai

Welcome to PC!!!
It's possible she has mental health issues and I'm really sorry, I know you're concerned about your friend, but we really aren't able to diagnose here.
Although among other possibles do you think she could be depressed?? That's certainly one thing to think about after an attempt..........if it is that "straightforward" it might be that in her depression she hasn't really attended to what you've told her in the first place.......kind of just nodded and thrown in some comments as the words flow over her, if you know what I mean.........and then just tried to piece things together, perhaps mixing them up with other things.......at other times that have just "flowed over" her...........but not only focus/concentration also memory as well can be effected by depression............sometimes people can give you the impression they are attending or not so bad/even "put on a front" with depression, but inside..........
Now I'm just guessing about your friend and I might easily be wrong.........just some thoughts.........

And yes, definitely professional assessment could be a good thing!!! If she's not encouraged by you to access this is there anyone close to her that you could express your concerns to who might have a little more influence??
Or are there any other/different professionals you could direct her to who might be able to lead her further to the help she may need??
Even encouraging her to try helplines could turn out to be an advantage.........
Maybe begin (if you haven't already!!) by openly expressing your concerns about her to her and see if she'll talk a little more to you about what's going on for her, then if she starts talking a little more she might be more open to support from you and from others if she needs it..........
