I have suffered from depresstion myself and i did the same as what your friend as done, and believe it are not it might be because she really cares about you. When i was depressed i felt really guilty that i was worrying my friends and family also any time i did talk about it it was hard to find someone who was supportive. Just get in contact with her and till her that you are there whenever she needs you.

If you genuinly think she s depressed you need to tell someone about it, but sadly she could just not want to be friends with you any more, which is very sad and makes you cry a lot, give her some space and she'll come crawling back.
If you really think she is depressed ( told you she is/ is acting the same way to even those who aren't her friend) then tell a teacher (if still at school) and although she will hate you at first, they can arrange counseling/tell the parents and might be able to get her on medication.

I know it's hard to understand why your friend has cut you off. The thing with depression is that it makes people want to be alone. She probably is not trying to diss you or anything. It's just that depression makes people think that no one cares about them so why bother to reach out.
I would just let your friend know that you care about her and that she can call you. I would also just check on her every so often
Hope this helps !

Depression makes people do weird things. She needs to work this one out for herself as difficult it may be to do and how much you want to help. She will come back to you in time when she is ready. If she doesn't then wish her well and hope that she will find happiness in the future.

Depression can make you want to be alone, no matter how good your friends are. dont give up on her, keep trying to get your friendship back on track.

I suffer with depression and I would be grateful that I had a friend who cared. I would personally send a card or bunch of flowers just to express that you care.

Just ask her if shes okay...
and tel her your here for her, and that whens shes ready to talk you'll be there for her.
Just be as supportive as you can, depression can mean that you cut yourself off from things that are important to you. She'll come round I can assure you.

Pray for your friend & her depression!!! Prayer has a way changing people & their situations. Give it time, be patience & approach her again to let her know that U are still there as her friend if & when she wants to talk.
Best Wishes!!!! :---)
