If someone says this, should I be worried?

My friend emailed me and said she didn't see the point in life anymore. Her boyfriend of fiveish months broke up with her. Should I be worried? She told me, indirectly, she's not thinking about doing anything bad, and she doesn't have depression or bipolar or any of those sorts of things, but I'm still worried.
I'm in a different state than her and I'm not sure what I should do. I guess the real question is, is what she said something I should be worried about, or is she okay?

As I don't have personal knowledge of your friend, I cannot tell what she really means when she uses the words, "I don't see the point in life anymore." Her indirect affirmation she isn't planning anything drastic is a good sign, nevertheless it would be valuable for you to get her talking in general about how she is feeling. Doing so could both put your mind at rest and send her the message someone cares.

That, or if you know someone who IS in the same state, and semi-nearby, if they could go over and just hang out with the friend. I know sometimes feeling so hopeless is accompanied by the feeling of loneliness and the feeling that you matter to no one, so no one would miss you if you were gone. The person wouldn't need to do anything, just go and be there with them.

Good luck, it's a rough place to be in.

I definitely agree with Rohag. The important thing though, is to talk to HER. I have had personal experience where a friend of mine in another state thought i was going to kill myself because I had said something in an email that somehow led him to think that. However, instead of talking to me, he immediately called the upd(university police dept.) saying he was concerned and thought i was going to commit suicide. I however, was NOT and was actually having a great day(until then)! It really made me mad and upset with him for not even TRYING to talk to me. and what ended up hapening was his idea of showing me he cared, turned into a very stressful situation for me, my parents, my entire family, AND my room mates!
