I know how you feel when you say you're afraid you'll push your bf away with your depression and lack of desire to be intimate. my last bf was a wonderful guy i just didn't click with, and due to other problems (i think it's the borderline in me), i was unable to take him back once i'd pushed him away, but he was so very understanding, and tried so hard to bring back that intimacy, but ready to give me my space when i needed it. i bet your bf, if he loves you, too, will be just as willing and supportive.
is it possible for you to open up to him and at least tell him your fears? i think it helps if he knows he's not the reason you're feeling this way. i have trouble opening up, though.
moving to a new state can be a HUGE source of stress, and that could be triggering your increased depression, as well.
i have no magical words or suggestions (i'm beginning to think that's my disclaimer to everyone!) but i know how you feel. it's a pretty rotten place to be.
