Tried to help a friend with anorexia and suicidal thoughts

I discovered my friend's anorexia and suicidal thoughts, but I'm unsure if I've done enough to help her

What I wish I knew
"How to effectively support a friend in crisis without making things worse"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be proactive and seek help from professionals if a friend is struggling with mental health issues"
