Quoting ANS: Listen to her KAW. She’s having major self esteem issues. One of the most prominent symptoms of depression, which she readily admits she’s experiencing, is low self esteem. She simply wants to be her own person. She sees her reliance on you as a weakness that she has to fight. Normally, your support of her would be an asset. And it is, sometimes. But sadly, the fact that it’s an asset conflicts with her perception of her own weakness. If you think you’re confused, imagine how she feels!
Keep these wise words in mind, KAW.
She may see some of the times that you're caring "too" well for her as an insult, like maybe you think that she's incapable of taking care of herself. She probably just needs to know that you care "about" her.
Care "for" yourself, my friend. If you don't, you're liable to kept caught-up into your own dose of depression, which won't do either of you any good.
To keep it on a DB level, what was it that you did the other night that seemed to work?
