<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

My girlfriend and I have been together for almost three years now. I love her a lot and I plan on making things permanent, but I'm a very independent person and I'm not ready to live together yet, and she says she completely understands.

As things have turned out, I'm off to college for a year in another state, about 150 miles away, and she has to stay where she is for her work. I live up here during the week, but go back down to see her on weekends, and I call her as much as I can. However, it seems like it's not enough. The whole time I'm gone her mood is terrible. When I'm not in contact with her, she does impulsive things, like almost quitting her job, or calling in sick multiple times just so she can come up and see me, despite me telling her not to and despite having financial problems as it is.

Other than that, she gets very irritable, cries a lot, eats very little, distances herself from other friends and family, and spends a lot of time shut up in her room. She talks a lot to me over the phone about how depressed she feels, and how she can barely handle getting up and going to her job anymore. She's a lot happier on the weekends when I'm there, and I can cheer her up a little on the phone, but even with me taking as much time out of my busy schedule to see her talk to her as I can, nothing seems to be enough.

Just to clarify, when we're both in a reasonable state of mind and discussing it, she agrees with pretty much everything I say. She apologizes for any distress she causes me and says she'll try to be better about things. When the moment of truth comes, however, there's never any difference. I love her a lot, and it really pains me to see her like this. I don't want to quit school or start cohabitating before I'm ready, but I would be willing to if it's the only thing I can do to make her happy.

Thanks for your advice.
<bot>: Living apart from girlfriend because of college and work, but still see her on weekends. She gets extremely upset and depressed the whole time I'm away, despite her best efforts.
