Some people like to talk, others just keep their feelings to themselves as to not make others feel guilty. like you, I dont discuss my feelings, I just bottle it all up, except since coming on here. Friends are definitely worth having, I should know, most of mine have backed off me since i became depressed, and it can be extremely lonely without them. I think you shouldnt feel guilty for the state your friend is in, trying to support your friend is such a nice thing to do, and it might give you something else to focus on. I dont know, im new here so i dont really know if my advise is good advise, but just try (i know its hard sometimes to be nice and keep smiling) if you can to keep hold of all your friends.
ps: sorry for waffling!....
