<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

I have recently discovered I've been feeling depressed over the last year. During that time, we lost a lot of spark in our relationship, mostly because I pulled inward and just can't get excited about anything in life, really.

This year, my husband was going through a very emotional time and I wasn't there to support him. I think this really caused a lot of hurt to him, and it's created additional distance in our relationship besides my depression.

I have a lot of trouble working up the gumption to ask for what I need, whether it be sex or just a little time together. I am working on not feeling like a burden when I need those things. He doesn't make me feel like that ever - I think it's all concocted in my head.

In addition to not being great at asking for what I need and feeling distant, I have become unskilled at kissing. It's difficult for me to really feel engaged in fooling around or sex until about 30 minutes into it. Until I finally let go and sink into the pleasure, it's not very fun. Almost like a chore. When this happens, it also kind of takes my husband out of the mood because he can tell I'm not fully engaged. During this time I get too into my head and start to have lots of negative thoughts (I'm not doing this right! Why can't I kiss anymore? Maybe if I just do this [action] it will be better.)

I really want to get back into things, and I am going to therapy for the depression. I have also spoken extensively with my husband about these issues and he supports me, though is somewhat losing his fire for the relationship even more so than just the normal you've-been-depressed-for-a-year kindling.

We do go on dates and such; we spend a lot of time having conversation. But my inability to get excited about things and be in the moment is really a drag. I know that is a big part of the problem, but are there any other suggestions to help in the meantime while I work on my own personal issues?
