Feeling so stressed towards a loved one and all she wants to do is help

I dont know why I cant let her in I'm so low

This is not uncommon at all, at least for me, it has led to a feeling of asexuality and complete inability to get to know new people. For me i realised i was projecting a response i felt i knew would receive, the response of rejection or disappointment. I can guarantee this is pushing the other person away, and i promise you, projection is irrational (although feels very real) and if you give this person a chance - can be quite pleasantly surprising.

I'm sorry it's hard right now.

This happens to me too. When I'm in a very bad place I shut others out. I do this 1. because I don't even know where to begin to talk about how I'm feeling and 2. I'm protecting myself from lashing out at a potential downplay of my hurt.

I’m sorry about this. Just let her know that you appreciate everything she is trying. Is it too overbearing? Maybe you can suggest that you need less right now? Maybe just have her sit with you, having someone there next to you can help. Or maybe sending one funny meme/joke/video a day? I’m not sure the whole situation or your interests but maybe this can jog something to help your think of what you need from this person.
