My girlfriend constantly worries about everything from my looks to how she feels about me to what is going on when were around others or even each other. I have never quite been certain what it has been, but she always realizes deep down she loves me, but its not always that easy. It will be stints of even a week before she'll realize it or before she will classify it as a worry, everyday I hear a new worry typically ten of what happened and usually constituting of not loving me or my looks or even small things like when I have a beard or when I don't.
This has been bothering me alot lately, I've been attempting to deal with this for the past 5 months at least and consecutively has led me into a greater depression as of now. It seems she just doesn't quite have the money for a counselor to help her either with meds or just the counseling issue and I feel it is leading to us breaking up despite her insistent behavior that she really does love me and that this will go away and to just hang in there. I'm trying with absolutely nothing left in me to keep going, I love her more than anything, and I'm trying to make this work all while her living 2 hours away from me but it is becoming much more than I can handle despite 2 years of love. Someone please help me, anything. :(

She may have low self-esteem and have negative thoughts when she obsesses on some of these things. I survived on meds alone for 3 years but am finally going to a counselor. If there are past issues, they may never be resolved unless she deals with them in some way. Celexa is $4 at Walmart and if the Dr. prescribes 40mg/day and she only needs 20mg/day then it will last 2 months! I have used Celexa for anxiety. There also may be other meds for $4. Check it out.

Is there anything I can do to help? I want to be able to support her and get her through this especially after all I've been through and experienced of it, but I just don't know how I would be able to help beyond just telling her everything is alright and trying to talk to her about some of the stuff bothering her. And how would she go about getting prescribed Celexa?
I just want to help her in any way possible, even if it means I have to leave her, I want her to be happy rather than suffer alot.
