I have a female friend of mine who I had a fallout with a few months back and we were very close before that. Now we reconnected again, in the meantime she went through a rough patch break-up family troubles and she has been having panic attacks. She still feels the same affinity but somehow I don’t, out of fear that she’ll leave all of a sudden as she did back then, and talking to her feels exhausting and it’s just not the same. I want her to understand this and let her down gently and subtly considering her mental state. I am stuck between prioritizing myself and being considerate.
