Welcome to Psych Central. Sorry your girlfriend is having what sounds like waking up depression. Has she talked to her doctor about this. It could be a medication problem or a lack of medication problem. If she wants to solve this problem it could be easy for you. If she does not want to solve this problem, I feel a lot of empathy for you but know no way to help someone that does not want help.

Some people at PC will find a therapist will help them. Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek. http://forums.psychcentral.com

There are articles that go into more detail about coping
