<human>: I've retyped this a good 4 times because I can never bring myself to ever post something. It's funny that I'm just as shy on the internet as I am IRL. Anyway, I'll try to finally get this right, and give it a go.

To start from the shallow end of this:

I am completely, hopelessly, and horribly in love with my best friend. We met in high-school, and hit it off really well. We're both dorky, love art, computers, comics, games, conventions, the whole nine yards. I knew she was never interested in dating, so I always kept my crush to myself. I've always loved talking to her because she's always had great advice when I needed it. I'm not afraid to trust and respect her at all.

She is an AMAZING person. Sweet, gorgeous, quirky, funny, cute, and good taste. Her most shining trait is her artistic ability. She is an AMAZING artist. I've seriously never met another soul like her.

However, she's also depressive, has anxiety issues, and has lost her will to make art. She's losing her faith in everything, feeling lost, and talking about wanting to die. She came to me because she knows I've felt the same way for a long time. She knows I think about it a lot, and talks to me about how meaningless everything feels, and I can only agree.

I want to help her, but... I feel destroyed every time I'm around her now. I want to open-up to her, and try to do my best to bring something meaningful in, anything, to save her. I can't, though. My emotions get the best of me, my thoughts start swirling, and I end-up miserable. It's a constant reminder that one of the last things in life that makes me happy, her, is stuck in the same place I am, but I can't be close to her without destroying our friendship. There is no hope for romance.

The whole situation just makes me want to push my face into the dirt, and try to forget she, I, and everyone else exists.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: My best friend and I both feel empty and meaningless, but I'm afraid to do anything because I'd have to open-up to her.
