Everyone's pulling away because they are unable to give you the amount of help and support you need. I would be there for my friend as much as I could, but it's reaching the point with her that I can't give her anything more cause she's draining so much mental energy out of me.

Thats why I think if you need high levels of support, its best to speak to a professional, not rely on people who are not trained in mental health, to give you all the support you need.
I agree, people can only take so much negativity. In fact, being around someone who is negative all the time can make you depressed as well. I've had to pull away from people who were constantly negative, you did the right thing by pulling away. Worst thing anyone can do is bring that negativity in the workplace, it's just not professional.
Thanks for this!
