<human>: I could use some advice :(

My gf and i are together for 7 months now. We have many happy days together, but her depression is slowly killing our relationship.

We had a chat yesterday and she told me that she doesn't felt love for me for the last two weeks. She had a very hard time the last two weeks because of her depression. Before those two weeks she was happy with me.
Now she thinks she needs time away from me.

I don't know what i am supposed to do. I kind of accepted, that she often doesn't want to or can't have sex or be intimate. I thought it was because of her depression that she can't be arroused. But last night (after our talk) we went to sleep and didn't do anything sexual. In the middle of the night she went to the bathroom and masturbated while i was asleep. That really hurt me. But i know i shouldn't be hurt. I don't know what i am feeling right now.

We decided yesterday that we want to try to give each other a little space. We slept next to each other almost every day for the past 2 months. Now we want to try every second night. Maybe it gets better.

Has anyone some advice how to handle the situation?

I tried to inform myself about her sickness and i ofter read, that it can be normal to loose the love for your partner. But it is only temporal. Has anyone had a depressive partner and can tell me if this is normal?
