This girl I know suffers from depression. Don't know why, she is beautiful and fun, smart and charming. We have been dating for a while, but it seems like the more apparent feelings become for each other, the further she tries to distance herself from me and us. I assume something bad happened to her in the past but she won't elaborate. It's like she's got a wall between us (a fairly common way to refer to emotional suppression, I assume). My question is, is it really even possible for her to love someone else if she doesn't really love/accept herself? Also, for anyone with experience in similar situations, it sometimes seems to me like she wants someone to keep pushing at her wall, to try and get past it. Could my instincts be correct? If she wants that, is it an attempt to break it down or maintain the need for it?
