HELP! My Friend won't speak to me?

DISCLAIMER: I know people have bigger problems than mine. Just reply if you want.

Okay, first of all, if this is in the wrong place, you can move my post somewhere else.

Anyways, in the title, my friend won't talk to me. Just so you know, I'm a guy and she's a girl. Let's call her Michelle.

Me and Michelle have been friends for a while (a year) and it's only this year where I've helped her a lot with her depression. I thought of her as someone I need to take care of. I liked that feeling.
A few months pass, she's happier than ever. That's when the bad things come in from my side: I start to develop feelings for Michelle. It's terrible. Once I found out what was happening I decided to supress those feelings.
A few days ago, I confessed and told her what I think but then said "I don't like you that way, it jeopardizes our friendship". After that message, she just stopped talking to me that much.
Also, she has anxiety, which makes me want to be there more so I can comfort her.

A few guys in our school likes Michelle, I just want to be there to help her in time of need. I am her "Guardian Angel" if you would call it: I help Michelle whenever something bad happens, Heck, I'm one of the few people she trusts!

In the end, I am very concerned about the situation, I think I have feelings for her but doing my best to supress it. Bad timing too, she broke up with her boyfriend so she might think I'm hitting on her but I'm not. If ever this friendship falls apart, I fear that I never will be able to talk to her again due to my faults.

Please help. Any reply is appreciated.

First off, don't feel like you have to look after someone. It's not your job and as much as you may think you're doing good, feeling like you need to take care of them can be a bit smothering. Anyway, I know you mean well, I just thought I'd point that out.

Give her some space. She might feel a bit awkward about the whole thing and the timing. And, with anxiety, it can make that feeling feel like it's being amplified by a hundred. I know you want to help her but she probably needs the time to let things settle. The more you try to get involved, the more she may think you're trying to get closer to her than she wants.

Give it a week or so then I would suggest sending her a message telling her you understand how she feels and if she wants some space then you'll give it to her. Remind her you value your friendship over anything else but then be patient. Remember, it's not just you who now has to figure all of this out. It's gonna suck but you really need to let go of this idea that you're the one there to protect her and help her and be her guardian angel. If someone were like that with me, I'd actually probably be freaked out, as well-intentioned as it may be.

Stop trying to fix her life and focus on yours for a bit while letting her figure things out for herself. I'm sure she's more than capable of handling this.

She probably liked you but you hurt her feelings I'd try saying that it was a mistake and that you do like her

True, I actually considered it but at the time she was going out with someone else.

Thank you for moving.

Thanks for the answer. I also get that she should take care of herself, so I'm toning it down.
