Sometimes Zyprexa can knock the depression out of you. Maybe she could take that until the crisis is over, and then start anti-depressants.
You should contract with her. Contract that if she feels like she is going to harm herself that she will call you or go to the ER.
I am where your friend is right now. I have so much empathy for her.
You are a good friend to help her like this, but I am sure she would do the same for you.
You might want to give her some numbers for suicide hotlines.
