Hi everyone! for reference both my girlfriend and I are 18, and we’re in a long term relationship :) she’s a wonderful and caring person with a lot of personality, but she has episodes of severe depression that occur for months at a time. This one was triggered by two college rejections.

Depression has changed her personality completely. She’s either telling me to go away and barely able to move out of bed/not eating or showering, or she’s hyper and unfocused (she has adhd).

Recently I tried to suggest she get help, but she lashed out and felt offended. She truly believes nothing will help her and she won’t even consider it. She’s periodically suicidal and has developed tics from the stress. I love her so much and plan on staying with her bc she treats me like a queen, but I’m starting to worry she’s right when she says that this will last forever. Any advice/support would mean the world as I’ve been crying and feeling so hurt and anxious for weeks ❤️❤️❤️ can anyone relate? I feel very alone in this.
