Hello community,

I fell in love with the absolute most amazing person I could ever have hoped to meet. Unfortunately, the past two weeks things have changed and I thought she was losing interest. One day I confronted her about the changes and she became quiet, and never responded. This happened during a car ride where I was dropping her off at university, so you can imagine the ride was very quiet. After her class I picked her up and there was complete and utter silence, as well as no physical contact. I could tell we were both hurting. Halfway to her house she asked me, "Are we going to your house?" I asked her if she wanted to come over and she said yes. Once there, she laid down on my bed and asked me to lay with her. When I laid with her I couldn't help but start tearing up because of not knowing what was going on. She noticed my eyes watery and asked me what was wrong and that triggered all the emotions I had been keeping in. I starting crying and she just held me and told me how much she loved me and how sorry she was to have been putting me through this. I told her it was all right, which is when she ended up telling me something that she was obviously embarrassed about.

We had a long conversation last night about her depression, how long shes struggled with it and how it comes and goes. She's been going through it for the past few weeks and I let her know that I am always here for her. I apologized for my actions and told her that I completely understood why she was acting so different. My question is, where do I go from here? I know I will support her through this difficult time, but how do I do it? When do I text/call her? Is it okay to push a little to get her out of the house? The last couple of weeks she hasn't wanted to see me as often or talk as often, and I know I shouldn't take it personally but I don't want to overdo anything and make it worse.

She told me she wasn't sure if she still wanted to be together, but when I asked her if she would prefer to do this without me she said no. I'm assuming this is just the depression talking since she just wants to be alone, but all I want to do is help her get better.

Thanks for your time community, and I am sorry for the long winded post. I needed to let that out though lol

It is difficult for a loved one deal with depressed loved on. I suffer from bipolar disorder, but when I'm depressed, I just need a shoulder to cry on. I don't want to be pushed into doing something I don't want to do and rarely ever want go out. And sometimes I just want be left alone. It has nothing to do with how much I love person. I would like thoughtful texted. Like " thinking of you" "hope are feeling better" etc. Maybe card or flowers or whatever you think she might like. Wishing you the best.
