<human>: I'll paint you all a picture. We are university students taking a year out at seperate parts of the country to do year long placements. Prior to starting our jobs a month ago we were living together, and pretty intense. We thought that seeing each other on the weekends would be okay, even thought the distances are inconvenient.

However my girl, Let's call her P, has a history of depression. And she is not taking this very well. 
It has transcended from constant crying, accusing me of not caring about her and being ready to abandon her. Some of the messages I have recieved have been incredibly hurtful and completely fictitious and no matter how many times I tell her it's the same thing the next day. She has told me out of the blue "sometimes I really hate you, and I'm not even kidding" but then claimed she didn't have a particular reason to, she just did.
I realise that I have to be strong for both of us but yesterday I let it slip and we both ended up sad alone and without much comfort to share between us.

I really want to make this work. I've put the negative emotions away for today and tried being a happy person but I can see now through her sporadic messaging and a skype call (which I instigated) which had little dialogue from her at all that she is actively either ignoring me or backing off. 
I really do get the impression that she loathes me right now.

What I really need right now is advice on where to take this. We want this to work and I know that when we are together she can be the happiest girl in the world.

Should I give her space? Should I take on a particular tactic with regards to communication? I know I'm going to try see her this weekend - we have both agreed to it - but it can't continue like this.

I need help fast.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: depressed girlfriend is becoming more and more distant and actively doesnt like talking to me/doesn't think that I care about her. Help!
