Lads,

I've been with this girl about a year. Shit's been great. She's been absolutely head over heels the entire time. She has some deep-rooted depression and anxiety, going back to when she was a child. Makes her paranoid about people and things about her. Always assumes horrible things, etc.

Last month, she pulled away from me. Hard to get in touch with at all. I'd send her texts telling her I'm here for you, I"m not mad, etc. She'd come around saying she's sorry for the way she's handling this, she knows it's not the right way, but she just needs a little more time to come to her senses.

Few days go by, she hits me up saying she's going back to her dorm and we can finally have a talk about this. We talked for a bit through text, but never ended up having a call. Few days after that, she goes on vacation, sends me a shit load of pictures while there, responds to the ones I send her, etc. She came back and I asked her is she ready to talk about this, she said yeah she is. We didn't. But she said she's sorry she's put me through all of this.

That was about 4 or 5 days ago. This is where I'm at now. I know anxiety and depression can make you pull away, get scared of talking to people, and all of that shit. I've dealt with it before.

My question is, should I just sit back and wait to see if she comes out, or press her more? She seems like she's aware the way she's coping is bad, but never tells me to actually leave. She's always been the type to say if she wanted to leave, she would leave. I've been reading a lot of anxiety/depression forums and subreddits and a lot of people seem to say they do the same thing, pulling away and ignoring for weeks at a time.

Personally, I'm fine with it. I've dealt with that shit before and I'm happy to be the rock that supports her. I just wanted to know what you guys think.
