Mdngtrain, I am like you when depressed. I want the world to go away and leave me alone. It sounds like you already tried doing what I was going to suggest, set a time to spend together and some time to be apart. If you tried but it wasn't enough time, could you try for a longer period of time? Since your wife is the one who needs others nearby when she is down, is there someone else she could spend time with, maybe a friend or family member?
You are right. It is really tough when each person's needs are so different than the other's.
