I'd like some help with getting advice for a friend.
Basically, she often comes to me feeling depressed, lonely, and whatnot. She feels like she has no friends, has problems trusting people, and generally doesn't feel fulfilled in her life.
But the thing is, she clearly does have friends. She has a boyfriend and she's actually decently popular. She often goes out to socialize with her friends and to parties and stuff.
What's the deal with her? I can answer more questions, but I really don't know how to handle it. I've tried pointing out that she does have people around her in her life but she doesn't care to acknowledge it.

Basically I'd like to know what I can do to help her acknowledge the good things in her life and help her stop feeling depressed. I understand that professional help is one of the only things to help with real depression, but I'm looking for things that are easier to do as a friend.

So basically 95% of all girls who have ever muttered they were lonely or depressed?
What, she has nothing wrong with her. She sounds like a selfish, conceited brat. If she refuses to recognize how much she has going for her, let her stew.
You want advice? Tell her you don't want to hear it, or just continue to try to comfort a girl who doesn't deserve it.

I appreciate your cynicism. If anything, I want to stop her from being a selfish, conceited brat. If there's no way, then just say that.
She's been a good friend of mine for a while and I simply want to help her and also stop her from whining all the time without being a huge douche.

If you could somehow bring her attention to how well she actually has it, that'd be ideal. But it seems you've been trying that for a bit now. And recommending clinical help for such a stupid issue seems brash.
Sorry, I've got nothing beyond that.

She's had some issues with abuse in the past, so maybe clinical help is something she should look into.

>Complains about being lonely and not having friends
>Has a boyfriend

Yes, yes they are. I just want her to be self aware for once. She's normally really cool and tolerable, but this kind of shit makes it hard to bear her sometimes.
