How do I help a depressed friend?

My friend is not eating and cutting herself. She doesn't have a problem with her weight, but she hates herself. She thinks the world is out to get her. I want to help her without sounding like her mother. Any advice is appreciated.

Just be there and listen..sometimes silence and presence is better than a thousand comforting words.
