We live together. She finds the responsibilities and criticisms from her boss stressful. She cries alot, its hard for her to get started working because of this which just hurts her job more. When I tried giving productivity suggestions, she got angry and annoyed and told me to stick to emotional support.

What can I do or say to help her w/ her depression?

She doesn't want you to help her with it, she wants you to listen to her and acknowledge her feelings.

It's a very common male/female conflict... dudes always want to fix things while women want to feel heard.

If you're trying to fix her problems when she wants to feel heard, she's just going to feel disconnected from you and like you're not being present with her.
