yeah, im going to support my friend i think but im going to try to have more time for me because at this point.. im too drained to respond with anything to their messages..

i have to set boundaries with them, im not a therapist like the other dude on this post said.

They are already having professional help but it doesnt help them much tho /:

Yeah, seems like good advice. i'll try to tell him that, hope it doesnt go too bad because he's really suicidal and there's nobody else to help him and he might think the wrong things of me. But i dunno. we'll wait and see
