I had a friend a while back who has depression that I used to kinda help out a lot. We we pretty close and texted almost everyday for a while and it even got to a point where I got them their food during lunch breaks due to their anxiety (using their money, I just queued up). I didn’t really mind at the time but after a while I just got so tired and emotionally exhausted that I felt that I didn’t have time for myself. Most of my friends said that they were taking advantage of me but I wasn’t sure. This went for a while until I finally thought so too and slowly cut them off. The final straw was when my parents said that they were a bad for me and finding out she had hooked up with someone I really liked at the time when they very well knew I liked that person. I’m still not sure if I made the correct decision of cutting them off and felt guilty a lot of the time they asked to hang out (I always so sure but then I say I’m busy).
