I'm confused and lost, why did she do this?
I have been involved with a girl for the last 6 months, the last 3 months have been a long distance relationship. Things were going great, we both were having a great time, skyping each other every night. She would always mention things how I make her so happy and we would text each other often. We were both extremely happy, and we would discuss how I was going to come and visit her in December.
However about a week ago things changed, this is when I first noticed the decline she is experiencing. It started when she attended school orientation for her senior year. She is attending a new school this year and she texted me saying how depressing this new school was and she said "it makes me want to kill myself." I reassured her it would be only a year and then she would be off to college. During skype that night she was very withdrawn, like she was purposely not talking to me. She would do one word answers and not show any interest. She also told me how she got pissed off at her pretty much only two friends at this new school and is no longer friends with them.
This made me realize... this girl is withdrawing from all her friends.
Later that night a text came out of nowhere. She said she NEEDS me but she says eventually I will be gone and leave her one day, so she wants to get out while she can instead of later and be even more lost. She says that is her reason for pulling away (im guessing its because I'm going off to college this year, I have no intention of being gone one day and have never lost interest in her.)
The next day was the day that ended it. We got on skype and she told me she doesn't want me talking to her anymore. She wants me to forget her. She says that whatever she has to do in her life she wants to do it completely alone at least for now. She has completely withdrawn herself from anybody she knows at this point. I asked her why she would want to do this, just a few days ago we were so happy. She simply replies "I dont know" lots of I don't know's and says her body is telling me to be alone for right now. I'm completely devastated at this point and confused but I realize there's nothing more I can do. I tried reassuring her I would be there for her. I tried getting her to remember all the fun we have. Eventually I say how I hope she achieves whatever she is trying to do, and when she does let me know.
I ask her if she still loves me. She responds I love you so much, that's why I don't want to get you involved.
I ask her if she is going to keep the picture of me that is on the wall in her room. She responds yes.
At this point I just let her know I'm here to help you if you ever need help getting through whatever this is. She is very confused and doesn't seem to know what she is doing herself. I say I love you, and let me know when you have this sorted.

How could this go from us being happy a few days ago, talking about my visit in December, to her being a complete mess who wants to be alone?
Why is she doing this? I ask her and she says she has no idea.
What should I do in this position? I still love this girl and I feel worried for her.
This girl has completely abandoned herself. The signals she has been displaying are eerily similar to the warning signs of suicide.
