ok i know this is probably not what you want to hear, but if you're going to be 'in deep shit' for trying to figure out how to help your friends, they're not your friends. if you have 'no one to turn to', they're not your friends. if it's your job to sort out this comedy of errors that has nothing whatsoever to do with you... yeah, you know what i'm gonna say. so my advice is, if anyone looks to be a genuine danger to self or others, call the police to do a welfare check; that's not a betrayal of trust, that's trying to keep someone from getting dead. and otherwise, step back from the drama, don't let them use you as an emotional punching bag or a messenger minion or a game-of-telephone operator. and get friends who are nicer to you.
