Pregnancy test, bro.

First if you are sexually active convince her to take a pregnancy test...if shes not pregnant then it really seems like shes depressed, and if thats the case dont force her to see a phycologist b/c that may make it worse(it would for me) just talk to her help and comfort her, be very careful about things you say b/c you may intend to be comforting but actually offed her...e.g: you wanna go to the gym?

It sounds like your girlfriend may be a bit depressed or anxious or both. Problems sleeping can just be something temporary, and I know of very few women who when asked will tell you they need to loose weight (they tell you even when they aren't asked too, so just keep telling her you think she looks great). Work, school and parents are each a great source of stress and will affect sleep.
"She just says shes been feeling like **** everyday, and she hasn't been doing the things she loves and she feels like shes lost herself and she doesn't feel like herself anymore and she doesn't know how to make it come back and be the way she was before" sounds like classic signs of depression and she should talk to a professional before it gets debilitating. Feeling sick and "blah" are also classic physical symptoms of depression. Tell her you'll go with her to see a counselor or doctor to get her there, but let her talk to whoever alone while you wait outside.
Be her friend. If she's depressed, she needs a friend more than anything else you can be.
