Brave and honest

Today, I realized that the woman I love, who is my best friend, deserves better than me at the nadir of my life. We're still just friends, but she's been a much better friend to me than I have been to her. It's time to disappear and fix myself. FML
I agree, your life sucks 121

OP, you should know yourself and you might be right. But you might be wrong - Sometimes we are our harshest critic… I recommend that at an appropriate time, face to face, you begin a dialogue with your friend and see how she feels. Be honest, but don’t start with how terrible you are. The situation is worth getting feedback from your friend on rather than just disappearing - That’s the cowardly way out.

agreed, clearly she gets some kind of support from you so disappearing is more like abandonment

Ah, the trusty "it's not you, it's me." excuse!
