"best friend" ignoring me on facebook?

This might sound a bit childish but I've been friends with this girl for 7 years and up until a few months ago when she moved house, I classed her as one of my best friends. We used to hang out with each other every weekend and we both agreed that we were the only ones who understood each other. However, a few months ago, she moved house (about half an hour away) and although she said we'll definitely stay in touch, we haven't. The only way I can talk to her is through Facebook. Most of time, it's always me who starts the conversations and she's always really vague in her replies. Yesterday, i messaged her and she just read it and didn't reply at all. I have no idea why she's ignoring me and I don't want to ask her why because i'd come across as desperate and annoying idk. This has happened quite a lot to be honest. I don't even message her that often, only about once or twice a week. I don't know if i should take it personal or not or be offended because i don't see why she'd be mad at me. But it also puzzles me how she doesn't even seem to want to communicate with me anymore after our 7 years of friendship. She currently is suffering with depression so maybe that has something to do with it but i can't help feeling like its my fault. I'm worried that we'll just stop talking and drift apart but the way things are going, thats how things look :(

By the way I do have other friends, but i still don't want to lose her if you know what i mean.

    Depressed people often don't wanna be a "dang" to other "happy" people.

    Maybe try to counter that by asking her for her help or opinion on a "problem" (real or plausible fake) to help #1 shake her out of her own worries with yours

    And #2 it be a test to see how she reacts, maybe give u an idea how to help if that didn't work

    Hard to tell, really. I sometimes feel ...stressed about Facebook. People see when you are online and then they will know that you are slow with replying to them -_-

    People don´t want to talk all the time, if I am not in love with someone I don´t want to talk to someone 24/7.

    Another recent issue is online-friends clearly showing they are sad/irked when I cancel online-stuff in favor of IRL-stuff.

    Although if you are best friends she should be more talkative to you ... honestly fuck depressed people when they distance themselves like that.

    I don't understand? She only moved half an hour away. That is no distance at all. My best friends live that far away from me if not further. The only reason that would make a difference is if you or her aren't old enough to drive. You word this as if she has moved hours and hours away.

    Maybe she's having some personal problems?

    Yeah.. this one time, long ago, I sent all my friends to hell and told them to fuck off.

    I haven't spoken to any of them in years. Just the other day, the girl who used to be my best friend messaged me on Facebook telling me how she misses me and how messed up her life is now and whatever.

    So I did the noblest of things.

    I blocked that bitch.

    They never know what they can lose until it's gone.

    A true friendship, like everything else in life, has it's ups and downs. You just have to ride out the tough times and be patient.
    I(f she is depressed, then that is most likely the main reason for her distance. Give it time, offer her your support and stop taking it all so personally. A real friendship will survive almost anything.
