I urgently need to speak with someone about my girlfriend who suffers from depression and anxiety

If it is urgent, you need to find a health professional.   Not a message board.

Try a psychiatrist or psychologist.

See a doctor. That is what they are there for.

If you are still on, you can talk to me about her situation if you like. You said you needed to speak with someone urgently.

I encourage you to tell her 3 good things you know about her. Then, ask her for 3 good things she knows about herself.  Go on to talk about good times and fond memories- this will make her feel better and strengthen your relationship.  Remain positive!

Sadly, people believe what they want to believe and sometimes the things in their heads are negative and never really happened.  These thoughts are planted by satan and need to be pulled out like weeds.  In order to get at the issue, roots and all, there needs to be resolve. Go over the reoccurring issues- negative thoughts, feeling unknowns with unpleasant assumptions, dwelling on past events. ..all of these things can stop today, but she needs no choose to let them go.  It will be hard and will take a lot of self control, but it is possible.  Remember to focus on the future!

If she does not have a relationship with God, I strongly suggest that she consider it. God knows the needs of each heart and only He can fully satisfy. He loves her so much that he sacrificed his own son (jesus)  so that we could join him in heaven one day.  No one is good enough for the kingdom of God, but Jesus paid the price- he washes us free from past mistakes if we believe in him and ask for forgiveness. Once she lets Jesus into her life, she will be blessed with the Holy Spirit, which will be a guide.  This is the soft voice referred to as the conscience that tells you when something is right and wrong. If we are still and listen to this voice, it can bring encouragement, too.  Your girlfriend needs to listen to the good voice in her head, not the bad one.  Your girlfriend is a beautiful person and God has plans to prosper her if she will put things into his hands. 

I also recommend “The Battlefield of the Mind” by Joyce Meyer. She talks about how to deal with doubt, suspicion, anger, hatred, disappointment, worry, anxiety, and ultimately depression.  It is a new month, and your girlfriend can start off happy! And you deserve to be happy, too. Encourage one another. Sometimes the best help for a person who is struggling is to help another person. Visit a shut-in or offer to help out at a soup kitchen- these activities are free and will make you both feel very good about yourselves.
