I was kinda like your friend. There's probably some obstacle that prevents her from working on herself. It's easy with depression/anxiety to just blame yourself while ignoring obvious external reason.

what made you get out of that situation

A lot of help and support from people around me. Without them I would never be able to finish my college. And then overcoming my social awkwardness with a patient and caring person. Also gaining economic independence was huge for me.
