Can you help out in what general area this pertains to?

She says she is unhappy with herself and is having a hard time dealing with it.

job? maybe medical/chemical imbalance? I'm going to put this out there just purely based on how you worded it, but body issues?
I know, that's kind of taking it personal, so I'm just going to talk in generalities anyway.
Job/Life:
If something here is causing issues, then at least its one of those things that the passage of time can sometimes solve. Yeah, we try to leave work at work, but I know for one, I can't. She's maybe in a position where she can't 'deal' with the work thing directly(boss issues are good for this) and its lashing out at home. My boss is a prick, but I can't say shit, but my god! if I have to make dinner one more time I'm having your head.
The best thing to do in this case is let it ride out.
Medical:
This one is tough, because neither time nor love is gonna do it. If its an imbalance then you can certainly help through support, but SHE needs to take charge of her health. Not saying she has to go the drug route, but lashing out at home isn't the option.
Body:
Just purely based on how you worded it, this popped in my head. If this is making her unhappy, then once again, its her that needs to take charge and you can support it
Oh, and you could be the issue.
I know, we're guys, and we are sometimes oblivious to this stuff, but have you done something that you don't think might be the issue, but a woman might?
I prefer the tough love approach. You try to support and love but occasionally you need to sometimes say, "I can't do this anymore". It's a bummer to walk on eggshells at home all the time.
