Girlfriend suffers from depression. How can I support her?

So my GF of just over a year and a half has these bouts with depression off and on. She has issues with her daughters father, her mother and fathers declining health, her 10yo daughters acting out, and financial issues. She constantly tells me what a wonderful man I am and she is lucky to be with me. And none of her depression has to do with me. But when she gets down on herself she says I should drop her since she always seems to disappoint me. We don't see each other a lot because we are taking it slow about bring our kids into our relationship. I just find it very hard because she isolates herself and doesn't want to be consoled. I'm a nurturing type of person and can communicate openly. She came out of a 20+yr marriage and has put up huge walls and has trouble communicating her feelings. Giving her space and time to herself seems to be what works for her. But I am left feeling like I should be doing something more for her. I care very much and love her. Any advice as to what else I can do?

    You can support your girlfriend by helping her to get down to the root cause of her depression. She can then try to solve those cause and work her way through them. Also, help her to stay positive and to AWLAYS look at the light in life. You can bring as much positive energy to her as you can and try to help her think about things that make her happy. Try to take her mind off matters that bring her down or stress her out.

    Show her a 90 minute movie called "The Secret"
