If you're serious about the relationship, you need to make more time for her. Full time + classes + 2 freelance gigs + laundry, cooking, cleaning, sleeping. Where's your quality time in all that?
She's probably lonely.
Consider taking up an activity together where you can build a network of shared friends that can take some of the pressure off you to be 'activity planner'/'therapist'. Maybe a church? Maybe a softball league?
I'm no doctor, but the long-term effects and dependency of depression meds almost seem like more of a curse than a benefit. if you have the option to change your circumstances to bring more joy into your life through community and companionship, do what it takes to move in that direction. Even if it's awkward at first, or out of character for you, the end benefits are worth it.
if you're not serious about her. Leave her now so she can get on with her life. As tough a decision as that is, it would be more cruel to string her along and take away her opportunity to be happy elsewhere.
