Relationships

When do you exactly know that you're being manipulated?

So, I've been talking to this girl for 2 months. She lives in a different city, so we haven't met each other so far. We are in a 'more than a friend' kinda relationship (though I've more feelings for her, and she knows that).

For a couple of days, she hasn't talked to me well and the reason she gave me is she's mentally disturbed (due to the arranged marriage thing discussion going on in her family), and she had an emotional breakdown, so she needs some 'me time', she isn't feeling like talking to anyone.

I care for her a lot, and I sent a lot of texts to her telling her that I'm always there for her and I miss her just talk to me about whatever you're feeling. But she has ignored most of my msgs (though she's said her sorry for her behavior), and most of her replies have been short and cold to my multiple msgs.

The thing is she stays online all the time on messengers, Instagram, Snapchat, etc, so it's least likely that she doesn't talk to other people. So I'm feeling like as she needs a break from me only, she perhaps thinks that she's giving me a lot of time, so now she wants to restrict it.

I feel that she, now, only talks to me out of the respect she has for my feelings and that she cares about me and doesn't want to hurt me. But she isn't now talking to me out of interest and the urge to talk, which I surely won't ever want.

So I want to know from you guys, what do you guys do when you have an emotional breakdown and are in depression? Do you also avoid talking to every single person or do you still manage to talk to that one person whom you hold important and enjoy talking with?

Because I personally feel that if I have an emotional breakdown and am kinda depressed (which, by the way I am all the time), I'd still talk to her. I would even need her more. That's why I find her behavior weirder.

So, please help me understand, what do you think is going on here?

Thanks for reading this out till the end, I value and appreciate your effort and concern.
