Losing a Friend to Depression

I feel like I'm losing another friend she says I'm not but in the past year she hardly calls are text and we have maybe hung out six times this year. I know my depression can make me feel like this but I've needed to talk to her and all she says any more is she is busy but then I see her posting stuff with other friends and hanging with them. what am I doing wrong? Why do I feel like she is pushing me away. She was the one person I could talk to when I started feeling depressed and stressed. So what's wrong with me?

        @tinysas I had a friend that did that. And when I confronted her about it she always had an explanation or excuse as to why she had to cancel at the last minute. I finally had enough and stopped asking her to do things because I was only good enough when she initiated and wanted something from me. We haven't talked for a few yrs now. I even stopped following her on social media because it was all woe is me and I have it worse than anyone else and it just kept bringing me down. I do think about her often and miss the fun we used to have, but she just got to be such a burden as a friend. It sucks.

      I agree about talking things out with her. Let her know how you feel. Maybe try to meet in a public space so it feels like you two are just hanging out and talking.

      do not blame yourself. if you can, try and talk things out with her and tell her how you feel. i understand everything you are going through. i went through it recently with a childhood friend. just know that you aren’t alone. ❤️

      This truly good advice it may be that your friend is just really busy. I was scared to approach you say please don’t take it to heart as I’m sure she would not want you to feel like this

      Please do not automatically blame yourself. That will only make it worse. Try to sit down, face to face, & talk. Find out IF there really is a problem first. Until then, don't worry so much. Yes. I so understand just what I asked is really, really difficult to do! You need someone to talk to, I will do my best to help.

          @tinysas you may just have to talk to her on the phone instead. Not ideal but better than nothing.
