<human>: Recently my girlfriend of 8 months broke up with me. We've been best friends for at least two years prior. She wants to stay friends because we mean a lot to each other but I'm having trouble deciding what to do. I tried cutting all contact off but that made both of us very depressed and we share a tight knit group of friends. I want to go back to no contact but I can't bring myself to do that to her. She's the only person I really opened up to and we communicate really well but as of the past couple days I've been too depressed to really talk with her like we used to.

She says she still has intimate feelings for me but she wants them to go away. She only wants to be best friends and nothing more. On one hand I'm happy that we're still friends, but on the other I feel like I'm lying to myself because I'm always going to want more out of our friendship. Knowing that what we had might never happen again really hurts. I tell myself that I'd rather be her friend than nothing at all because we mean a lot to each other. She's helped me a lot in my life and I've been there to help her. There's some more to it but overall this is the situation i'm in. I can't really talk to anyone so I decided to post on reddit hoping for some advice.

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: I'm happy that we're friends but I'm not happy at the same time because I feel like i'm lying to myself to feel better. Feeling really depressed and don't know what to do.
