Houston to LA like I'm Robert Horry.
My last girlfriend went through the same thing. Was on anxiety and depression meds as well. You dating my ol girl breh? :jbhmm:

But on a serious note, it's extremely difficult and you have to make the decision sooner rather than later if you can handle it, because these sort of things just don't go away. Maybe more subdued, but don't go away. I tried my best, but one of the reasons we broke up is the fact that she was constantly sad and miserable. There are going to be times when you feel like you're doing everything right and you might, but she will still be this way. I don't have a blueprint breh, but the best advice I can give you, if you want this to work is have patience. Sometimes just being there physically and emotionally while not taking to heart too much they do in this state, is the best for them. Also there are a lot of articles online about dating people with these problems.

I can tell you from personal experience though, I will never date another girl with severe depression/anxiety disorder. Nothing personal, but relationships are hard enough without the extra stress on top.

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?

Unless you plan on marrying this bytch one day, just leave her ass

Whats the name of her med?
You should read this book in order to understand and help her "Moody bytches by Julie Holland. M.D."
Also, talk to her about tapering off the med, unfortunately common side effects of anxiety meds is depression and side effects of depression meds are anxiety and suicidal thoughts. She may simply be reacting to the meds, which will take a while to clear out of her system even after she stops taking them. Suggest to her that she see a therapist and talk it out vs numbing the underlying issues with meds.

I had two girls back to back with depression to the point where they were catatonic...I'm not saying this is the answer, but me leaving and/or the threat of me leaving made them try to break out of it, and eventually get better.

I'll probably get negged or some shyt, but you can't really help them. I tried doing things with them, counseling, tried see if they would try medicine. It WILL bring you down...then you're no good to anyone.

Let her do her thing to get through it. It's tough to figure out why they are unhappy, so you have to do little things to make their life easier. Do you cook and clean? bring home food without her asking for it? Do shyt like that and see if it helps her overall attitude. Take her to an animal shelter and see if she likes anything there. Animals improve your mental health.

Feeling Depressed? There’s a Dog for That

Sometimes when you’re down, all it takes is a lick to the face or a sweet cuddle from your furry friend to lift your spirits. But what if your stress runs deep, if you’re anxious and nervous to leave the house, and find yourself depressed or even suicidal—can a dog still help bring you back?

Studies now overwhelmingly show service and companion animals alike are effective at treating depression and anxiety, as well as improving your overall health. We’re exploring the reasons why and discovering new and exciting ways dogs are being used to help people improve their lives.

I HAD this exact same issues. We dated for 2 years and I finally broke up with her. She is a great person but I couldn't deal with it any longer.

Edit: I gave her a different reason why. I didn't want to make it worse. She took it hard

Sounds like she's bipolar

My best friend...sorta, suffers from severe depression. Three suicide attempts severe. She sees a psychologist and I have limited my visits with her because neither of us are comfortable with her episodes.
