Needy mates

I try to be a nice person. I'm friendly and open minded. Yet almost every female friend treats me as an agony aunt and I'm getting sick of it. I've even binned a mate as all she ever did was get drunk and whine about the man she was seeing on the side. Pre virus, another mate I started spending more time with became self pitying and saying she was depressed (I listened the first few times then told her to see a doctor), now another one has started messaging saying she needs someone to talk to. I have my own set of problems in the form of borderline personality disorder and I can't shoulder everyone else's issues as well as my own. I'd love someone to text saying "hey how are you?" Rather than me me me my life's so sh*t. AIBU to want to yell "sort your own life out and leave me alone!" ?

YANBU it's very exhausting to be the mate who listens (especially at 11.30pm when The Bastard has done something).
