I can imagine your frustration with her depression if you do not suffer yourself. One thing to understand is she cannot 'snap out of it' and I'm sure more than anyone wishes she could. If you know she is having a bad day, that would be the best opportunity to be loving and caring towards her...offer her alone time and let her know you understand she is having a bad day.
I know when feeling depressed, one tends to want to sleep a lot but I am wondering if she is on meds if that is still normal? She might need to speak with a dr. about how she's been feeling as perhaps they need to adjust what she is taking? I don't have any experience with these types of medications but if they don't seem to be helping with her depression that might be an area to explore?
