Wife refuses to communicate with me about depression

I've been pretty depressed for quite a long time now and have been on AD's for about the last 6 months. One thing I've noticed about my relationship with my wife since being diagnosed is that she completely refuses to discuss it with me or even acknowledge it. I've tried several times to bring it up in discussion and she completely shuts down. Like zero-words-coming-out-of-her-mouth shuts down. I'd really like to talk with her about it, because sometimes it's just nice to have the person you love listen to your problems. I'm not expecting solutions from her, I just want an ear for a while.

I told her at one point that I know she's uncomfortable talking about it and she said that she knows she's not being supportive and that if I wanted to make an appointment to talk to someone else she'd be ok with that. Wow, thanks for being there.

I can't figure out what's up. I don't know if I freak her out now, or if she just can't be bothered. I'm not really sure where to go from this point. It's really hurtful that she won't talk to me when it seems like she's the one person I should be able to turn to. Am I really barking up the wrong tree here? Am I being selfish to want to discuss this with her? Should I just pretend this thing doesn't exist when I'm around her and deal with it on my own as best I can?

Put the internet to work for you.
