Advice needed on how to talk to a friend about the relationship you have .

Could she be depressed?

I have been suffering with depression for some time now. My relationships have really deteriorated because of it. I haven't seen my best friend in over a year and recently hid when I was in the same shop as him. I feel fucking terrible and I really miss having him in my life but every time I agree to meet upnwith him in llt gets close and the anxiety completely eats me up and I cancel. I hate myself for it and I don't even understand why I feel this way. I am 36 and he has been my best friend since we were about 7.

It's effected every relationship I have (had) but I can't stop it. Perhaps she is going through similar?

If not, then unfortunately it sounds like you have just been dropped as a priority and you should probably reply in kind.
