My (25M) girlfriend (27F) opened up about her past while drunk, not sure if I should talk about it or ignore it

A little background: I've been dating this foreign girl for a little over 2 months and we've had an absolutely wonderful time so far. Quite early on she already opened up that she has quite severe anxiety, but had medication and counseling to control it. Since coming here it's been really stressful for her with finding a job, a place to live, all the paperwork etc, but on top of that some of her medication is not freely available here, which she has run out of now. Once she has her medical insurance all set up, she'll be able to get other medication and go to a counselor.

This week she had a couple of drinks and got drunk. She called me after and we talked about some normal things, but after a little while she began opening up a bit more about her past. She said there have been periods where she's been depressed and at times had suicidal thoughts. I didn't really know what to say, so I said that I'm real glad she didn't because otherwise I wouldn't have met this wonderful woman. She talked about missing her friends etc and I tried to comfort her a little bit.

I'm not sure how to handle this situation. She apologised for saying those things over the phone, which makes me think to just forget about it. But on the other side, I really want her to know that I care a lot about her, that I want to be there for her, that she can talk with me about these things and that it won't scare me away. Let her know that I'm in it for the long haul.

TL;DR: girlfriend opened up about past depression and I need advice how to deal with it.
