Giving friends advice..

Ok, my best friend was rejected by the guy she REALLY likes the other day, she gets depression so takes things pretty badly. I have noo idea what to say to her as she's letting it affect her in the worst way. She needs to get over him and I'm pretty sure she knows this but if I say that to her she will flip out. She's asking me for help and I'm well out of ideas now! Pretty soon she'll try and explain why it all happened and wont want to give up but she reaaally needs to, given how depressed she gets that is NOT something I can say.

So, er, any ideas?

I don't know what advice to give other than be a friend and let her come out in her own time. Unfortunately depression does cause people to think/act a bit irrationally. I get that all the time. I guess being a friend is the most important thing. I have a friend who I can talk about pretty much anything and it helps me to know he's just there.

Sorry if that was a load of rubbish but I hope I was of some help.
