How can I help my wife know that I am trying with my all to support her? She has severe depression which started partly in Infertility, now we 4 kids

I have been trying so hard for 7-8 solid years, she just can’t see my efforts, and my words she believes are fake basically. I love her and I am willing to go above and beyond, I don’t need her to give me any credit, I tried to defend her accusations that I don’t care about her, by reminding her of the types of things I do because I care. When I try to hug her she pushes me away about 75% of the time.
Also, she always says that I “make her feel” and I cause her anxiety and panic attacks. She has told me that I “make her feel that I don’t care” #Tryingtosupport #tryingtobegentle #husbandisclueless #supportive #failedmarriage

had a conversation in our house yesterday that clearly illustrated the lack of understanding when it comes to mental health issues and their symptoms. A statement was made, “he needs to want to do it”, well yes in a perfect world he does need to “want to do it”- however in a mental health crisis clouded world his want to is gone. It got up and left. He wishes it hadn’t. He wishes he didn’t feel like crap and he didn’t have 1000 negative voices going round and round in his head all day everyday telling him he sucks, he is a loser, he has no friends and no ability and he may as well not even try.
