My friend is suicidal and im starting to resent him

Ok to start a big part off the reasons I haven’t cut contact for my sanity reason one: is i(22m) want to be a therapist (currently am working on improving my education for that) and I feel dishonest for my self if I want to be a therapist but will cut my friend for my sanity.

Reason two: we go way back we used to be roommates in the boarding school we used to go to.

Reason three: me and the other mutual friends from the school who are still in close contact have decided that if he is too much for them they should just cut him off (like the part where they listen to him complaining and saying how much he want to kill himself) and now everyone has shit in their personal lives that burdens them and they can’t to both which left me the only one still in regular contact and am working very hard to help him.

Those are the reasons I’m still not letting go for my sanity.

My friend is 22m also

Now a big thing to mention he has an army of friends willing to help in one thousand ways. Wether it’s money housing work his pets any problem under the rainbow there are solutions and he knows that because we talked about the solutions and he doesn’t even say it won’t work he just gave up as in his own words “I’m am not planning to better myself”

I have so much more to say but I’m just too pissed right now to write coherently about all the non reasons he gave for killing himself or refusing help or what problems he is facing that have the simplest of solutions

I’m just venting and if someone has advice on how I can better handle my emotions in order to be help to him please give me advice:

I am also in therapy and have been for many many years but I had my therapy today and then had to deal with him and next time I see my therapist is in 2 weeks so here I am turning to internet strangers
