When long friendships become one-sided during crisis periods

My best friend and I have been friends for fifteen years but lately every time we hang out I come home feeling drained because they're going through a really hard time and I'm their only support. I want to be there for them but I'm starting to avoid their calls and I hate myself for it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Loyalty and self-preservation are at war, and the friend who's drowning cannot see that their lifeline is also drowning.
