The situation

Your friend has a crisis every week. Real problems, sometimes — but often escalated situations that seem to require your immediate emotional attention. When you once said you needed a bit of space, they said they didn't know how they'd cope without you. You genuinely care about this person. But you've started to feel exhausted, and quietly guilty for even noticing that you feel exhausted.
