I met this girl in school and she was amazing. She was shy, pretty and lacking in self confidence. Long story short we started dating and it was great we would hang out in school everyday and text all the time. it was both our first experience of love and was amazing st the start, now things have changed. In the next few months she lost many of her friends, she quit her medication and stopped going to the therapist but she still felt comfort round me. She isn't very good with words so when she felt sad she would tell me over text and we would always say the same things. Now her depression is getting worse and she avoids me in school (she has 1 other freind she is always with who is also depressed), her texts are dry and she always sends me pictures of quotes with self harming meaning behind it. Any time I try talk about getting help she is always unresponsive in text and is open to nothing. She always says sorry for neglecting me but I always feel like I've done something wrong. I've known lots of people with depression who have got better who have tried to help her but things are just worsening and she doesn't want this anymore I am scared for her. Should I give or space or persevere pls I need help
