Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : This is sorta me searching for advice, sorta me trying to see whether or not I’m a total ass for thinking these things.

Im in my third year of high school and one of my best friends has been depressed for as long as I’ve known her. I’ve talked her out of two suicide attempts and have forced her to go talk to someone when she was having a really bad self harm episode.

She gets irritated really quickly, leaving me for days and calling me an asshole before texting me at night and telling me how much of a terrible person she thinks she is.

She even went so far as to dig her nails into my hand and cut me when I tried to offer her a hug.

This has been going on since I joined my high school.

It hadn’t stopped.

I feel so bad for even considering telling her that I can’t keep helping her... I’ve tried to be as nice and patient as possible, but I don’t know how I can help someone who’s actively hurting me/making me feel shitty.

So, would I be an asshole for telling my friend that I can’t keep helping her, even though she’s severely depressed?
