Thanks so much for the encouragement. Part of me was slightly concerned about "enabling" her social isolation. But that's obviously a ridiculous idea. As everyone here is fully aware, depression isn't logical and you can't "train" someone out of it. It is hard to inhibit that reaction though. Some people do legitimately need "tough love", but depression sure as hell ain't an example of such a scenario. I came up with these gift ideas after realizing that I wanted to send the following message with them:
"I understand that you don't have enough emotional currency for socializing. And it's ok. I know that your isolation isn't an indicator of 'what you want', it's an indicator of 'what you're capable of'. Take care of yourself as best you can. I'll be here when you're able to reach out. And until then, here are some things that might make your time away more comfortable."
Here's what I've ordered so far:

Badass blanket in purple. It's got a foot pocket!, which is great because she's really tall (5'11). I'm kinda jealous because this blanket sounds amazing. http://www.brookstone.com/pure-bliss-quilted-sofa-blanket-with-foot-pocket?bkeid=search|google|bidword|pure+bliss+blanket|c|exact&gclid=CPiTq56Nm8ECFRJp7Aod2CcAyw
I think you've got a good idea about the stuffed animal. Something to hold and snuggle with could be really comforting. But for her, it might be a tossup. She's pretty stoic. I think I'll straight up ask her if she would like one. She might have a better idea than me for a "cuddle" partner. Plus I'll be able to get an idea of the kind of thing she might like.
Thanks again for the encouragement and thoughts. It makes me feel really good to know how "on track" I am in terms of being supporting. I'm pretty lucky in that my family has some history of mental illness (that I luckily escaped), so it doesn't scare me. Plus my gf has been wonderful during her lucid periods in reassuring me that this is just a pattern with her; it's not an indicator of her feelings for me; she's super sorry that she can't talk as much as she wants; etc. etc. If she hadn't prepared me for her depression, it would be really hard to believe that her isolation was not an indicator of her feelings to me. I'd be prone to believing that she was falling out of love. But she communicates really well when she can. So my trust is strengthened by that.
Thanks again for your thoughts. Wish you the best.
