You obviously can live with someone like that. You've been doing it for some time.
Patience.

Leave her to herself. Can't do anything if she doesn't want to be cared for. Offer her but walk away if she doesn't take you up on it.

You're in good shape but quit talking about your feelings.

Yep. LBH needs space too.
