I’ve been occupied all day with my internship. Mentally drained. Trying to show up, be productive, and do my best.
Yesterday, during my break, I received a message from my friend’s boyfriend. He asked if he could confide in me because they’re apparently on the verge of breaking up. He said my friend has been toxic and manipulative.
I didn’t want to believe it right away, so I even went to her house personally (after work) just to see and confirm if what he was saying had truth to it. And honestly… it was alarming. She was denying everything.
Now I feel stuck in between.
Do I support his need for space and respect?
Or do I confront my friend and risk things getting worse?
On top of that, yesterday was my sister’s birthday. After work, I had to walk and buy her cake while carrying all my things, trying to balance everything. I was already physically tired.
Now it feels like I’m carrying emotional weight too.
I just feel stretched thin. And I don’t know where to stand.
