how do I help?

so ive been on autopilot to deal with depression for the last 4 years, but now with counselling and therapy I’m starting to come back to life. I’m noticing my feelings and the feelings of people around me. I look at my friend and she is just like I was, apart from shes not on auto pilot, shes feeling every ounce of pain and hopelessness. everything in my body wants to go over there and hold her, and tell her something, make the pain go away, cry with her, so she doesn’t feel so alone. but what do you say? what do you do? we never speak or hug, we just coexisted in depression, and now I’m leaving her in that dark place all alone I feel guilty. when I was like that all I wanted was someone to hold me in silence while I cried, but I don’t know if she is the same, what if it makes it worse for her.
