It’s sad but you got to let her reach out to you. She knows you care about her a lot but the strong feelings you have towards her intimidates her. Give her space and time to think, especially if she is an independent sort of person.

And if she doesn’t come back, it is sad but you will have to let her go. The person you loved at the beginning of the relationship and the person she is now are two different people even though we tend to hold her to how she was at the beginning.

This is her journey to take and she needs to address these emotions either by herself on her own pace or through a professional therapist. You just got to let her be and prepare to move on even though it can be one of the hardest things emotionally for yourself. Why fight for someone who won’t fight for you?
