Restatement or Paraphrasing
I've been trying to make plans to see a friend, but daily she comes up with excuses on why she cant see me. I just feel abandoned and hopeless.

I can sense that this is bothering you a lot not knowing why your friend is making excuses. This is making you feel ignored. May I ask if its been happening since the recent past or for a long time
assistant

I am assuming that you and your friend are very close and have been friends for a long time. Did you try talking to her over the phone? having a honest conversation with her and letting her know how you feel may help at times.

I have tried, she ignores my calls. We've been friends for 15 years

wow that's a very long time and such friendships are to be treasured. I too am lucky to have a friend like that but we do not talk often but when we talk it would be as if it was yesterday that we met.
assistant
Self-disclosure
It's amazing. That's how we used to be up until a month ago

Do you remember if anything significant happened a month back that disturbed her or you in some way? I ask as a long relationship cannot be marred with simple reasons and sometimes it just needs a heart to heart talk.
assistant
Question
Not that i'm aware of. but I should try to reach out again and talk to her?

Also when you say she making excuses, do you find them logical. For all we know she might be having a real situation she might be dealing with
assistant

It's more of I cant. I have to do this thing. but no further contact as what she needs to do
user

Yes please. Try calling again and if she is not answering your calls. Maybe you can try and meet her or write all your feelings in a mail and send to her.
