PLEASE HELP!! :( (10 POINTS TO BEST ANSWER)?

[Brooke]

I can relate, I have had my best friend for seven years and we are closer than some people can understand. Due to emotional stresses and issues over the years we have come to rely on each other, especially since her diagnosis with depression, anxiety and PTSD. I have a bad protective streak and she used to be very attached to me. I was her only support and what she used to claim to be "the only thing keeping her sane". Since she found a boyfriend a few months ago it has started to feel like she doesn't need or want me around and like I get in the way of them. You have a few different options with this depending on what your friend is like;
1) Drop her cold turkey, it will hurt.. a lot. this is something that I was told to do a lot when it started with my friend but something I couldn't personally face. It could be the right thing for you however, There is the possibility that she will realise she needs you again, that her relationship won't go well and she wil come back to you in due time.
2) Give her the choice, tell her straight up that you can't handle this anymore. Tell her she either starts appreciating you or you will find a friend who will.
3) Put up with it from a distance, don't confront her, don't completely drop her. Just ignore the nasty stuff.
4) Show her that your in pain, if she realises what she has been putting you through and makes an effort to change she is a true friend. If she doesn't you need a new one.
Sometimes it takes tears to bring them back to earth, if you are not a person who cries a lot do it anyway, or your equivalent of crying. If she doesn't care at all then you need to accept that she doesn't truly care about you and you need to find a new best friend.
Hope this helps, good luck! <3
