Hi, I am in need of some advice mostly pertaining to my situation with my girlfriend.

Background information:I'm a 25 y/o male. I have been struggling with severe depression all of my life. I've been to many therapists, counselors, meetings, groups, clinics and hospitals. I've taken many different meds for it. I have other issues as well, like OCD, I'm extremely shy, I'm picky, I have tons of allergies to just about everything...I could go on. Overall, my therapists and pdocs tell me I have "treatment resistant" depression, and that I should look into getting shock therapy or ECT. I would like to avoid that route, as I have read about people requiring 30 sessions just to tell any difference, plus, I'm not rich and my deductible this year is $5,000, which I don't have since I can't even pay my own bills. Anyways, last year, I found my girlfriend, and I love her, even though we both have depression and ups and downs all the time. She's overweight, and has polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Problem: I am not really feeling that intimate with my girlfriend anymore. Granted, I work really crappy hours 6am-2pm, so I have to go to sleep earlier than most people (8 or 9pm), however, my girlfriend recently lost her job and she still will never lay down with me when I go to sleep (let alone sex). I just need advice on what I should do. I have tried to tell her, but she just keeps saying nobody her age goes to sleep that early, which I fully understand, but she doesn't even have a job right now and she can't just lay down with me once in a while? I don't understand. Help please!
