Hello and Happy Birthday Dean! My question is the following: My girlfriend was being very moody and off and so I talked to her about it. She confessed that she is very depressed due to some reasons ( I cant say) and she says that the reason she cant get over her depression is that she tries to be very tough about it and doesn't let her "guard" down. I really tried to help her but she is convinced she change. Any ideas on how to deal with this sitruation? thank u :)

I really can’t say - not only because I don’t know her situation, but also because I’m simply not very qualified to.

What I would say though is that it definitely can’t hurt that you’re there for her. Try exclusively listening to her about this problem, don’t necessarily give advice or try to fix it, just hear her out, make sure she knows that she can just talk about it to you without feeling judged and without feeling that this is something to be ashamed of.
