[rl mental health] [negative] god. i feel so fuckin bad but. i can't handle this.

one of my twt/ffxiv friends is 16, nearly 17. and they recently failed high school, and they have often come to me for comfort and i can't! handle it!

i feel bad about it but my own irl is full of shit as well!

but i see the sort of shit they're posting and i feel my own blood pressure spiking and im so terrified!

Oy, that’s rough

It’s hard to be a bastion for people if you’re in a tough place yourself

exactly. everything has been so exhausting and now this. and i feel so rude but! you know!

you can't handle everyone's everything, no one can

Is there any gentle way you can say that you’re sympathetic but not the best person to come to right now?

i'll probably tell them sometime, very gently, esp since. friend is aware of some of this shit. i dont dump on them but! well, they follow my twitter and sometimes i do make Jokes

sends you hugs
