And mentioning Psychotherapy will end our friendship, she has been through that before, but I only know her side...

I have a friend who is very against psychotherapy and/or medication. He has some valid points against it. Backing off may end your friendship. I have another friend that occassionally sends me email cards saying things like "thinking of you" or "this reminded me of you" or "you are a good person" things like that. It's meant a lot on days that were bad. Perhaps you can do that or think of other things to cheer her up.
