Flood, I'm about to lose my best friend

Something has happened that I don't quite understand. I'm trying to get it sorted, but it seems like the friendship is hanging on by a slim thread. Part of me thinks it's not worth saving and part of me thinks that's a horrible thing to say. Distract me, please. Or offer general advice I may not have thought of. Or something. I don't know. EDIT: Ok, I'll explain what I know. Met her a bit over three months ago. We fell for each other. Went on a date. She has depression and bad anxiety and so we were cautious about jumping into anything. Fast forward a bit and we decided it was best to just be friends. We stayed fine for a while. Every so often we would have a fight but nothing too abnormal. Over time her depression has gotten worse and physical contact (hugging, cuddling, holding hands, kissing, etc) is decreasing between us as it makes her uncomfortable. About 2-3 weeks ago it seems that something has changed. We had planned to go see a movie together, but a few nights prior I asked how she was and she said that she was at the cinema, about to see it with someone else and that we were no longer going. That started a rift. Now I feel as if I can't talk to her without causing a problem. To make things more difficult, every year, around this time I get depressed and have [quote][/quote]bad anxiety. Literally talking to her can be a bad influence with her depression. I feel like I'm being discarded for someone else and for some reason our friendship can't stay how it was with this new person. If it's as simple as that it seems to me that it's not worth the trouble, as much as it really pains me to say. EDIT 2: I'm 19, she's turning 18 next month. We've both finished school. EDIT 3: I'm seeing her tomorrow, we're going to hang out. I'm going to try to put out a positive vibe and see how it feels. EDIT 4: This was originally posted on 10.3.15, this edit is on 12.5.15 The short version of what happened is that I haven't seen her since late March. Last time we spoke was the 27th of March I believe. She now has a new boyfriend and I deleted her off of all social media because she refused to talk it out; instead basically saying we had to ignore everything. It sucked, but it's a part of life I guess. People move in and out of it all the time.
