pretty wacky week last week, it snowed a ton here, may or may not have bedbugs although if we do for now they seem contained(?) so keeping an eye on that

Pretty bad. I have a friend who's going through a crisis, and I don't want to downplay it, he's been wronged and his situation is dangerous. But he's been lashing out at the wrong people and my feelings are starting to get hurt.

On top of that, multiple family members who always need my time and money and talk about killing themselves constantly. I can't stand being responsible for this many people. I feel like I'm preemptively grieving 24/7. The weight is completely unmanageable.

I'm trying to set better boundaries without becoming callous, but I just want everyone to be OK.
