I hate that I've started feeling drained when my best friend needs me, because all I want is to be there for them. But sometimes it feels like I'm carrying so much that I don't even recognize myself anymore. Then I feel guilty for needing space, like I'm failing them just because I don't always have the energy. I keep wondering if a good friend would ever feel this way. I love them so much, but I'm exhausted, and somehow I've convinced myself that being tired means I don't care enough. That's the part that hurts the most.
