I recently ended a friendship which had some similarity to your situation. I was the other friend. Over the past several months I've been spiraling downward. I knew I needed help but for several reasons I had not sought any. I would talk to my friend not about my depression but about things that were happening with my family. She would always tell me to talk to God. She wouldn't answer my calls and told me to email or text her. I felt like I was burdening her so I pulled back to light & fluffy conversation only like t.v. shows. I was not able to really judge the situation and I wish she would have been more open with me. She could have said she wasn't able to help or support me the way I needed. She could have encouraged me to see a therapist. It would have made me feel better about our friendship.

There were other reasons our friendship ended. The final straw came on my birthday. She sent me a text wishing me a happy birthday and that she was sorry she was so busy and couldn't call. I texted back "Thank you for your kindness! I appreciate you thinking of me!" She responded "WTF do you mean thank you for your kindness? Who do you think you're talking to?". It was all down hill from there.
