Sometimes I feel like when I'm like this, I shouldn't be caring for others. My friend just got diagnosed with social anxiety and he has a history of depression. His family does not know about his mental illness. I'm the main person he goes to when he needs someone.

My other friend has undiagnosed depression. And I'm also the main person she goes to... as her counsellor is often very busy.

I have two other friends, who has psychotic depression and bipolar 2 respectively... who depend on me.

How does one deal with this many friends? sometimes I feel really burntout and I don't know how to deal with this. And I'm really a person who internalises things so I won't tell about my friends to pdoc or T.

*sigh*

sorry, just needed to vent.
