FIRST, let me say that his survival is not your soul responsibility. I get that you hate seeing him in pain, but if he’s going to get better he’s gonna have to do some reaching out of his own. I feel like this is dangerously close to becoming a co-dependent relationship, which isn’t good for any parties involved, but I’m no shrink so what do I know… There are some things a person can’t forget, but that doesn’t mean the pain can’t fade, and even go away, it takes time and understanding and effort and talking about it til the words are next to meaningless.
I don’t think you can help your friend get over his issues, he needs to see a therapist/professional. So if you want to help-get him into therapy.
I agree with freeroma, it seems you’re getting sucked into it as well. I read recently that when someone is suffering, those around him carry some of that burden and it makes it somewhat easier. But don’t take too much onto yourself.
