Ah the mystery that is woman. :tongue:
On a more serious note, what you are experiencing is not a 'woman's problem' it is a human problem.
A lot of people don't like to talk about what is eating them. Various reasons. some people are not comfortable about sharing about their problems, others feel that they will be rejected for having 'issues' while others are just to miserable to fully know why they are miserable, thus shut down.
Depression tends to shut people down/off in general. Its the nature of the beast (depression).
I have no idea what you have tried in the way of help. So I have no idea what ways would be new ways to help.
Maybe you can glean something useful from the pages here: http://www.rd.com/advice/relationships/h...ed-spouse/ Yeah I know, you ain't married, but you are a couple and in a relationship and depression affects couples, not just married ones.
