Girl disconnecting me from her life

I was very close with a girl having a long distance relationship. 3 Months into the relationship she changed one day and wasn't enthusiastic to talk to me, and started to lie about stuff. She then said we can't be together anymore and doesn't want to be attached to someone she can't have. The next day she got back to being close with me. A few days later I woke up to find she had removed me off her socials. I messaged her and she said she is trying to hide from me and said she has depression and has been in pain for 6 months. She told me that she will be going to hospital for a month and that I won't be able to contact her. She however stayed in contact with me while she was in hospital. She said she would be allowed to go out once a week. So she went out of the Saturday however she was going to school, home and back to the hospital - She seemed to be going out lot while in hospital. A couple days after being in hospital she got out but she didn't even tell me. I asked her why she isn't going to the hospital tonight and she said she's out. She added me back on the socials after being out however she was not the same as she didn't want to Snapchat me even though she still used it. We used to snap eachother every day and night. I thought this was strange.

There were moments were she wouldn’t seem enthusiastic to talk to me and we would sometimes have arguments, I would try keep it calm but she got to upset with me. She ended up blocking me a few times. We ended up agreeing to just be friends and a few days of not talking as much and her not showing much enthusiasm to talk to me, she wanted to be close with me again. She did this another one or two times.

Recently out of nowhere she said she is with a guy. Then one day she said she was at the guy’s house however she was clearly at her house (she was snapping me and I could see) She lied about being at his house. She lied about this guy as a whole. She keeps telling me about this guy she spends time with however he doesn’t exist. I am not sure why she would be making all these lies up. I feel like I am talking to a completely different person. I have tried to keep it cool and calm. I just don’t know why she has been so different towards me. I remind her that I am always there for her and she means a lot to me and that I care about her. When she was in hospital she said “I need you to be here for me”, “I’m in so much pain”, I was there for her and she knows I was there, why is she being like this to me?

This might sound a little harsh. I don't mean it to be and I'm sorry in advance. But wow ... all the lies. So much secrecy. I realise you're hurting and you don't understand why she's being like this to you but sometimes we just have to protect ourselves and realise that perhaps the other person wasn't really the right one.
I don't have any relationship advice. Perhaps someone else can help you with how to move on.
Once again, I'm sorry.

I'm going to be blunt.

You're being used.

She doesn't know what she wants, but doesn't want to let you go because she likes your attention.

She tells you she's with someone else to make you fight for her, again, because she likes your attention.

I don't doubt she has depression and she is hurting, but you can't "love" someone out of a mental illness. Sometimes people who are hurting, will grab onto any life raft they can find even if it means both her and her life raft will sink.

When she pushes you away, it's because she feels guilty for what she's doing. When she pulls you close again, it's because she can't stand her own thoughts.

Even if the person you love or care about has a mental illness, it's okay to let them go to protect yourself. Nobody deserves to be used, and mental illness is not an excuse to mistreat someone else in anyway.

Take care of yourself.

Recently she has slowly been opening up a little more and talking a little better. She tells me that she hides her depression from people so people don't worry or think something is wrong. She said now she is tired of hiding it all the time and me being one less person to hide from makes her less stressed. When I ask her about when her last treatment for her depression was she tells me "idk" or I don't want to talk about it. Maybe she doesn't feel as comfortable talking about it yet? I am not too sure why.

Anyone else got any thoughts on what I wrote in the thread and my reply just now?
