I Am In Love With Someone That Battles Depression, and Anxiety

Someone who means the world to me is struggling with both depression and anxiety. And due to past reasons, compliments tend to trigger the anxiety. I wish I could just outright tell her how beautiful she is, instead of trying to sneak by cheeky compliments hidden behind a joke or silliness.
She is not just pretty or beautiful. She is smart and funny and has a heart of gold and probably the sharpest wit I have ever met. She is also the most beautiful woman I know. She is all of this and so much, much more. I just wish I could tell it to her directly without doing more harm then good.

im probably the worst for advising in this situation.
the worst because i see how guilty i am of screwing things up.

but there are times that its best to just be there while letting her set the pace. to give into that flood of feeling simply steamrolls the other person. believe me, i find it difficult to shut up rather than let it out. i want to sing praises and give all the love i feel but its simply too much.
im trying myself to finally learn that lesson before i lose a friend with my suffocating behavior.

i hope i can do it because i really regret how i pushed her away by trying to hold her close.
the worst of it is that she would stay if i could behave in a more relaxed manner.
