Yes, there are times when you have to step back and withdraw from a relationship. However, from reading what you just wrote, i can definetly tell that she is a very important person in your life, or you wouldnt be in a state of contemplation in the first place. I am in no position tell you what to do because im not the guy experiencing it firsthand, but what i have found to be true of everyone is that having one more friend is better than losing a friend. Even if things might not work out in a friendship/relationship, it is your positive energy that keeps the engine going. In the end, you will be the one pondering on the loss of a friend you have known for years. Stay true to yourself, and give all the positive energy you have to make things work. Remember, humans feed off each others emotions. At the end of the day, there is something to be learnt from everyone, so never think too quick when deciding to cut ties from someone altogether.

If you want her to be a friend of yours, you shouldnt have to feel bad for letting people know about it. If they care so much as to have a doubt in your personality or of your potential as a friend, then fuck them, you dont need em. Last thing you need is to be judged on something you feel like youre doing right. ESPECIALLY your friends. You know, people in the medical field have a way of overexaggerating psychological/emotional disorders, but the truth is, we're all human and we all go through different stages. Everyone is on a rollercoaster ride of their life and everyone will have ups and downs on a regular basis. Theres noone that can disagree with me on that. She needs you there because you are important to her also, so dont take that for granted. A homie will always be a homie.
