Medical consultation: Your friend needs to see a physician urgently. If you notice that she is suicidal, then you should call the crisis line whether she likes it or not.

Be supportive: Many depressed people are irritable, and also passive: they don't like things to happen. If she was suicidal, you were right to call 911 or a crisis line even if it made her mad. If she was not suicidal, calling a crisis line was more optional. Either way, show your support and caring — and urge her to get help if she hasn't. As she improves she'll see that you had good intentions.
