Used to be a Good Friend

I used to be a good friend and a good person but now I’m not. I used to be able to be there for my best friend/roommate, who I love like a sister, even if I couldn’t fix her problem. I know when people are going through a hard time; they don’t expect someone to fix everything but to patiently listen and be there for them.

Recently, whenever something bad happens to her or she is struggling, my head is like “I sympathize and I want to lend an ear” but my feelings say “here we go again, I don’t have the mental energy for this. I need a break”.

Used to be able to push those feelings aside but now they are starting to slowly seep into the outside, and it’s already getting noticeable.

What good person thinks like this? Why am I so terrible?
