<human>: We met though mutual friends, a shared class, and a robotics team, and quickly hit it off.  We were friends for about 6 months, and started dating the spring of that school year. 

Going into this relationship, I knew she had some issues (alcoholic dad, emotionally messed up mother, bad anxiety) but I'll be damned if that was going to stop me from dating a generally awesome girl.  We had a fantastic summer together, and then the school year hit.  

Around November, things started getting really bad for her.  We almost broke up, but after some sort of reconciliation, things got a lot better up until mid February of this year.

Now, I have no idea what to do.  Her self esteem is through the floor and pretty much every night I have to argue (yes, argue) that she is a worth while person!  I feel like I'm her last resort to sanity, and I don't want to be it.  She has a therapist to talk to, but she can't get her family to bother setting up appointments.  

It seems like she genuinely wants to believe that she is a bad, disgusting person that nobody likes, and me constantly telling her otherwise CLEARLY isn't going to change that.  I'm pretty sure the only reason she even takes care of herself at this point is that I swore I would only take care of myself if she took care of herself (I'm not sure if it was the right thing to say, but that's the only thing I could think of, and she identified me as being manipulative for making that promise [since you know, satisfying her basic needs must be a chore with how bad she feels about herself]).

I care way too much about this poor girl, and I feel like there just isn't a good way to go about this situation.  I can't just force her to  believe she is the cute, talented, and kind person she really is.  We both need help.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Girlfriend's self esteem is through the floor to the point where I need to debate with her that she is worth people's time.  I'm positive I'm going about this the wrong way, and we both need help.
