You say you love her, so use that love to guide you. I was depressed for almost 7 years. Every time I'm alone I fall into myself and lose track of who I am, but when I'm with somebody I love I focus on them not me. Use your love to push yourself. I try and make my self a better person every single day with every single action I do so that I can make my girlfriend happier each time I see her. I want nothing more than to give her the best life possible and my entire future and everything I do is to make that happen. I use the love I have for her to drive myself to be better because she deserves it. No matter how well I'm doing or how awesome her and my friends and family think I am, I can ALWAYS do something to make myself a better person in some way. So use your love for her to motivate yourself to do better for yourself that way you can do better for her.
This is a philosophy I also follow, however, you need to keep in mind to also do things for yourself too! Don't get wrapped up in always making the other person happy if it comes with a detrement to yourself. I've been there before.
