I never did anything wrong, I tried as hard as I could.
I guess it's just never enough...
I don't know much about your personal issues really, we don't talk all that much. But sometimes a person thinks they can help a friend but then realizes they're not equipped to help them. We're all usually going through something in our lives, and heaping the problems of others on top of that can become overwhelming.
I'm sorry that had to result in you losing your place to live, though, and apparently a friend.
Due to past events, unless someone is a really close friend, I don't help them with problems like depression or anxiety. As a non-professional, I find my help is seldom useful. I usually get real nervous and try to direct them to a professional because I don't want to be responsible for making things worse for them.
Even with close friends, it's difficult. My girlfriend suffers from anxiety, and I haven't been able to help her in the 12 years we've been together. If anything, it seems to have gotten worse. And I also suffer from anxiety, though in many ways I think I am able to cope with it better. None of my techniques work for her, though.
Anyway, this is a long way of saying keep your chin up and remember you do have people (and at least one pony!) who care about you, so it can't be too bad
