How do I deal with my GF always saying extremely depressing things about herself? Such as being a "waste of space", "nothing matters" etc etc. She has been diagnosed with clinical depression in the past. I know she genuinely feel these things are true at times.. but it happens so frequently that I don't really know how to respond. We are long distance, so I can't exactly be there to comfort her irl. I know she needs to go back to a therapist or psychiatrist, and I feel I need to just straight up tell her this. Is there anything else I can say? For what it's worth.. I'm afraid just telling her she needs to go get help again is going to make her break down and cry. I really love her and just want what's best for her, I just don't want to say the wrong thing, nomsayin.

All you can do is be there for her, to an extent. You're not a trained psychologist and she can't constantly offload to you, it'll bring you down too. Just casually ask her if she's been to see someone recently, if she takes it offensively then all you can do is say that you're trying to help. Every time she says she is worthless, counter it with something you like about her.
