Thanks for the replies so far everyone -- it has helped a great deal. I don't feel as though I'm alone.
She is in therapy in-so-far that there are people she has seen (on a semi-regular basis) when she was in school this past year. She has said ithe sessions helped, but she hasn't really gone into detail with me (which I respect).
Yes, I do try and listen. I quite like listening to her daily life, it's much more interesting than mine since I have an office job.
It's not that I want to fix the problem per se, but I just feel sad that she feels like this and I wish that I could shoulder that burden for her. She definitely doesn't need to be worrying about everything she thinks about. I do sit down with her, talk and be sympathetic.
Maleficient, it's not that I fear the change in personality -- I'm smart enough (and have friends going through similar situations) to know that drugs do that. What I am afraid of is that she and I could become totally different people or that she may decide through whatever logic she *may* have in the future, that she and I shouldn't be dating. Of course it's not something I look forward to, but it's in the back of my mind. That's *my* fear. I apologize if I miscommunicated my thoughts.
I just hope that an exercise or two may help her see that she may be able to help herself (if even just a little).
Cynthetiq -- "remind her that she's got to make efforts to make changes *IF* they are real things she can affect."
She's doing well with that elsewhere in her life.. I hope she can see the light and the end of the tunnel with this one.
Lurkette - I'm currently looking for the book, thanks for the suggestion.
pinkie - As I stated before, she has been in therapy, but only mandated by the university as she has no health insurance. It's a real drag, but she's looking into her options.
She loves taking baths though. This behaviour therapy, any good methods, authors of books etc that I could look into?
Thanks everyone.
