Answer 1

The best advice I can give you is to confront the situation; explain to her how you feel; ask her why she no longer cares to maintain a friendship with you. If she gives you an answer don't react just accept it for what it's worth and move on accordingly. Honestly if she can just "cut you out of her life" so abruptly then she doesn't sound like she was much of a friend to begin with...do you really want that type of person influencing you and your feelings? Just a thought....take care of yourself; no one is worth this much energy.

Answer 2

Attachments are one of life's sufferings.
Remember everything has a reason for being so.
There is pain in your lost stay with the pain. do not try to avoid the pain by trying to patch things up.
If there is no reciprocity there is no friendship only dependence . Accept thatyour loss is painful . Things will change and they will get better. When we get rid of attachments we are free from pain.
If ,your love for this person was heathy , that person would miss your loss also.

Say affirmative things like: I feel but and I can hadle it .
I miss her but every cloud has a silver lining, ... and time will heal my loss loss.
I missher and I will have other friends.
Good Luck

Depressive disorders affect approximately 19 million American adults, according to the National Institute for Mental Health. If you or someone you care for is suffering from depression, there are numerous options for professional treatment and help available, and much reason for hope.


Recent headlines focusing on the incidence of postpartum depression in celebrities has helped illustrate just how difficult yet common and treatable this disease can be. Given the stigma surrounding mental illness, recognition that depression is a disease is long overdue.


Many people have internalized some amount of bias regarding depression and mental illness. Many of us consciously or subconsciously harbor the belief that the problem stems, at least partially, from some failure on the part of the individual, as if suffering from depression were a choice. This stigma often interferes with reaching out for help and prolongs suffering.



Symptoms of Depression

Depression is often the result of a complex interplay between brain chemistry, environmental stressors and psychological factors. Symptoms of depression may include a persistent sad mood, loss of interest in previously pleasurable activities, a change in sleeping and/or eating patterns, irritability, loss of energy, feelings of worthlessness, excessive guilt, a sense of hopelessness, difficulty concentrating and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide.


Research indicates that individuals suffering from depression show the most improvement when they receive a combination of antidepressant medication plus psychotherapy (also called “Talk Therapy”).



Medications

The effectiveness of the numerous anti-depressant medications available today is well documented. Having said this, unless a persistent or dire condition exists, medication need not be the first line of treatment.


A thorough psychological assessment by a qualified mental health professional to help determine the underpinnings of an individual’s depression is an appropriate place to begin. Once this has been conducted, medication should be considered as only one possible component of a comprehensive treatment plan.



Talk Therapy

There are numerous talk therapy approaches available. These treatment techniques are documented to be effective in eighty percent of cases (NIMH).


Insight-oriented treatments, designed to explore past psychological hurt often prove eye opening, liberating, and important to the resolution of depressive feelings.

Behavioral techniques, designed not to revisit the past but to remain focused in the present, can help identify and modify current negative thought patterns that give generate depressive feelings prevent them from ending.

Personal therapy can help relieve depression by helping clients work through relationship issues that often contribute to depression.

Identification and expression of anger is often a key component of treating depression. Unexpressed anger may linger and haunt people in the form of low self-esteem, feelings of helplessness and irritability.

Many therapists use a multidimensional approach to combat depression, drawing from these and other methods.


Depression is a highly treatable disease that warrants professional intervention.

Don’t isolate yourself, disregard how you’re feeling or blame yourself. Reach out to whomever you feel most comfortable with, whether it is a friend, family member or professional. If you are feeling suicidal, go to or call your nearest emergency room immediately. There is nothing to be ashamed of – and everything to gain!
