Hello Reddit,

My girlfriend and I have been in a relationship for about 4 and a half months now. She's told me she's depressed and anxious and wants to die. According to her I make her want to die less. She tells me she has trouble going to class because of her anxiety. She doesn't like people, and social situations stress her out.

Her wanting to die and her anxiety started to get worse around 2 months ago, I can't think of anything specific that might have made it worse. Since then we've had some communication issues and she's started to push me away, which I feel is mostly normal due to how she's feeling but could also be my fault in how I don't really know how to comfort her about it. She tells me she doesn't feel sexy which is why she doesn't want to have sex or have a sexual relationship right now. She also told me she's not sure if she's in love with me anymore, but she still loves me. I'm not exactly sure what that means, but anyways.

I've suggested she go to counseling at our university but she won't call to schedule an appointment because she would have to talk on the phone. I offered to call for her but she won't let me. She says she doesn't know what counseling will tell her that she doesn't already know.

I don't want to make this about me, but I feel like she has started taking me for granted. She doesn't want to talk to me and gets annoyed at me when I'm trying to help her. She also doesn't want to go out or do anything with me, and won't talk on the phone with me on the weekends when she goes home.

What can I do to help her? Right now I'm supporting her every way I can, and I told her I'd be with her through it.

tl;dr: My girlfriend is depressed and anxious, what can I do?
