She won't come to my place or stay over because she says now that she has anxiety if she’s away from home, although she still hangs out with family/friends several times a week, and as far as I can tell she continues to be active.

I can't help feeling like she's phasing me out of her life and doesn't want to be in a relationship with me anymore.
