My girlfriend seems completely overwhelmed and is super burnt out and exhausted and there’s clearly something wrong but she won’t talk to me. How do I help her? Is there even anything I can do?

when im personally like this, i start slacking in basic care because im overly focused on the thing thats stressing me. if my bf did something like get my favorite candle, packed me a lunch/snacks, or do something to take a little bit of the weight off, it would help to relieve some stress enough so i CAN be emotionally available to talk to him

a) dont ask her what u can do for her cause she’s probably too exhausted or overwhelmed to even tell u rn. i think all u can do is do an act of service and let her know, “i love you. i know youre stressed out. i did (act) because i want u to know im here for u during this really hard time. please reach out when ur able to.”
