Cary-
I assume you're feeling guilty because your feelings are not as strong as hers, and you are telling this person that you love her when you're not sure that you do.
I hope you discuss your feelings with your friend. Even if it hurts her, it is much kinder than ending the relationship without letting her know what the real problem is. Please be honest, let her know that she is special to you but that you are feeling unable to deal with an intense
relationship right now. She may be willing to back off and give you some breathing room until
you're feeling better...which will be a better time for you to decide whether you want to continue the relationship.
