Take him to see a counsellor.

My friend calls me every time he's having a bad day and needs someone to talk to. I try to help him, but sometimes I'm just too busy with my own life. We are not close friends, and I have my own problems to deal with. I didn't really have the patience to deal with one more person. I always try my best to help him, but I do have my limits. I try to always give him a listening ear, but if I feel like I don't have the resources to provide the kind of support he needs, then I try my best by referring him to something to help.
I don't want to be that guy. I don't want to be someone who talks about his problems, but is unwilling to help a friend in need. But I do also have a life of my own.
