having mental issues or illness or even just a life problem doesn't make it okay for a person to rely on another person. because of the stigma surrounding mental issues, no one talks about it so it's kind of ingrained in society for people to either rely solely on others and then either get away with it or be cast out. it's difficult for you probably because you don't want to get taken advantage of but also you're struggling not to be "that guy" who tosses people away for not being perfect.

the only way to solve this is if you set your own boundaries firmly. i hope that it possible in your situation. it can be difficult for a LOT of reasons but i hope you're able to take care of yourself first.
