I have a friend who comes to me for support. She says she has no one else and it is true. I have done my best but she has worn me out. I don't have any more to give. I want to tell her to stop calling me but I am afraid she will hurt herself if I do.

She calls me every night and unloads the day's problems. I work very hard to live a calm, peaceful life and most of the time I am happy and like things as they are. After I talk to her I am tense and irritable. She has ruined my aura.

I know you need help but my guess is you relied on your friend too much. I tell my friend she needs a therapist because they know how to help and are paid to listen. I am not. Maybe a therapist would help you too.
