<human>: So I had been dating my girlfriend for about 7 months and everything was perfect. We'd confided a lot in each other and had some great memories. Today though, out of the blue, she told me we needed to talk after finals.

I met up with her and she told me her depression had been getting progressively worse. (She has been struggling for quite some time and sees a therapist every 6 weeks or so.) She then told me that she deals with it better alone and that she was afraid she would hurt me by being distant and dealing with her problems alone. 

I told her that she could never hurt me, and that I just wanted the best for her. She wouldn't believe me. She said her second boyfriend had tried to help her and it "didn't end well" (didn't give details, I wasn't going to press).

She was on the verge of tears the entire time and told me she was sorry. She hugged me and told me we could still be friends. I think she is doing the wrong thing by pushing me away, though...am I wrong? Is she wrong? I don't know.

I would give her the space she needs and I wouldn't be hurt by her dealing with her problems. In fact, I would be happy. I just don't want her to push me away because she is afraid of hurting me. Because she won't. What do I do?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Girlfriend broke up with me saying that she deals better with depression alone, refuses to believe that I won't be hurt by giving her space to deal with everything. What do I do???
