Part of her depression is probably just being overwhelmed and not able to handle even minor things. I'm sure she doesn't want this (hence what she said about not needing your help), but she doesn't seem to have very good coping skills at the moment and she's really leaning on you for a lot. Not that this is a bad thing, but I can really see why it would confuse you. And...it may be interesting to see how she still 'needs you' if you move in with her. She wants you there to help her...but she doesn't want you to believe that she 'needs you'...that word NEED is interesting. It's us LBS who are trying not to need our S's, but in your sitch is a bit reversed.
Thanks Jenny!
W has always had a tough time coping with certain things, even when she isn't depressed - She is very passive aggressive, so she'll either do whatever she can to avoid something, or she'll try to get someone else to do it for her.
I've been sick the last couple of days, so I've been laying low. Not initiated contact with W at all - She'll call and IM me through the day though. She called me last night to tell me she bought some books for D, and that I could come over to get some of them so D could have them for bed time. D and I ended up going by W's house on the way to dinner, and ended up hanging out there for a while. Every time I tried to leave, W kept finding something 'new' to do, or to talk about. Even though I was sick, she gave me a hug and a kiss when I left. Totally different to how she was earlier in the week - She seemed happy and excited to have D and I around. She IMed me later in the evening after I got home about our plans for the weekend.
