My friend has not talked to me or hung out with me in three months, she has been depressed and I know that, I am also very mentally ill. I get it. But she will not do anything to help herself no matter how I try to motivate her as as well as as others-

I understand it from both of y’all’s sides and that’s a hard position to be in. You have to do what’s best for you, you’ve tried communicating tried getting her help. You can step away if you need to. Don’t even necessarily need to end the friendship, just step back. But do what you believe you need to do.

I’m starting to get frustrated, she posts on the Internet, all the time essentially whining about how she hates her life wants to die is ugly, etc. etc. etc. I tried to cheer her up. I tried to get her to go out with me. I try to get her to get help, she will not. The point I’m at now is just like, is it even worth it to try to be her friend anymore if she’s not putting any effort into our friendship? I know this isn’t because I did anything wrong. She told me herself. She’s just depresses

honestly both sides are very understandable. your feelings are valid. from a person who has been in her place, talk to her. tell her you both aren’t doing well mentally and you seriously need a friend right now so ask if you can both lean on each other just for a day. both of y’all talk it out and you tell her that you miss her but understand. neither of you can afford to lose a friend right now but if she seriously does not communicate with you a little tell her you need time for your sake.

you’re not giving up on her by needing a break. you’re the only one putting in effort. ask her if she can give you just a little more at least. you don’t need to lose yourself too.
