I don't think anybody wants that kind of fake positivity but I by no means hold any of it against her. I'm somewhat disillusioned from it all and confused and concerned primarily since she says she's depressed, but change has to come from within sometimes.

she's got a job, hobbies, goals, dreams

Well not to be an asshole but that's just the bare minimum. I know plenty of people have less than that, hope that ain't you. Hope you're doing okay, internet stranger.

Edit: Wow people are downvoting this! I don't really get why

Yeah been there done that. For me it was a poly-addiction to benzodiazepines and amphetamines, former for work to quell the panic attacks that I'd be fired and deported back to the third world and the latter to play new vegas on the weekends. At the time it was an improvement from a 6 pack a day and a bottle of gin on the weekends. It was a long road outta all that, but trust me, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I don't even drink non-socially anymore.
