My roommate and I are both in medschool, and she was diagnosed with depression and generalized anxiety disorder this year. I convinced her to see the school psychiatrist and he put her on meds and she sees him around once a month. However, it seems like she's been getting worse, to the point that she doesn't get off of bed for the whole day and gets triggered at very little things.
I know that it's really difficult for her and as much as I've tried to be supportive and help her out as much as I can, it's also taken a toll on me. Every day, I spend 30 minutes convincing her to get out of bed and go to class, otherwise she won't even show up at all. There have been entire days where we don't talk to each other at all, and I feel like her mood has been affecting mine as well. I'm very frustrated with her and I know it's unfair to her, but I feel like if this keeps up for any longer, I don't think we'll be able to continue being friends.
Would it make things worse for her if I decide to move out? How do I tell her that I want to move out in a way that won't ruin our friendship? I honestly don't know how else to help her anymore, and as selfish as this sounds, I have my own family issues to deal with at the moment and I feel like I have no place to rest, whether I'm at home or in the condo with my roommate.
tl;dr How do I tell my depressed roommate I want to move out without ruining our friendship?
