I'm conflicted guys, my 19 year old GF seems so down all the time. I've spent the last year and a half trying to help her, encourage her, help her find herself and her goals, and she just insists on looking (to me and others) like she is depressed. We met in our church and hit it off pretty quickly but she was and still is in some ways her parents puppet and was a very sheltered AirForce brat. We both want to pursue a nursing career and sometimes she is a huge help to me. But I just don't get it! Your 19, have plenty of money, people that care about you, she's had slot better lot in life than I have believe me and she is just moping around all the time.

If you've read this far I gotta ask... when a woman doesn't care at all about how she looks anymore and continues to gain weight. Like what is it? Doesn't she realize many older women would kill to be young again? But she makes excuses every time at 181 pounds she's almost 44lbs overweight for her height and it's just like whatever. Knock some sense into me guys what am I missing, she's never been diagnosed with depression but I'm starting to wonder.
