She's always battled with depression / anxiety issues & is currently on medication for it.

Recently though out of thin blue air, shyt has gotten worse. It's almost as if I'm living with another person.
She's ultra sensitive towards everything, getting her to talk out her problems is like getting blood from a stone and what makes it even more troubling is she doesn't know why she's feeling this way.

According to her these bouts can last from weeks to months and we have to ride them out. I'm trying to be patient because I realize that depression is a form of mental illness and God forbid she went ill with anything else, I'd be there and support her to the end but, this is the most strenuous and nerve wracking thing we have ever had to deal with in our relationship.

Does anyone suffer from depression or partner fighting it?

First of all I have to commend you for staying with her despite her depression. I have family members with mental illnesses but not depression per say. Those people are really strong, because when I'm feeling completely hopeless and down even for a moment or a couple hours.. I never want to feel that feeling again. It's like your heart or soul dropped to your stomach, and any sense of happiness in your life just isn't there (and for no apparent reason either).

Try and find some help for keeping ones relationship strong when one partner is suffering from depression. Also you may have to come to terms with that if you decide to spend the rest of your life with her, this may be something you will have to deal with.

Good luck man, and sending some love to your girl!

Try a change of environment or something similar that provides a change of pace, anything that actively stimulates the mind. It will be a struggle for her to do it in terms of motivation, but it should result in an improvement. That being said, be mindful that there isn't some cure out there for depression. A stock exchange like state of mind is par for the course.
