📝 AITA for feeling overwhelmed after my friend vented to me about her trauma?

Last night, my friend called me and started venting about some really heavy stuff—she told me she got SAed and also opened up about her mom being a narcissist and abusive. I was just sitting there trying to process it all, like damn, why me? I didn’t know what to say or how to help, because I’m also struggling with my own stuff. On top of that, my best friend vents to me constantly too, and it’s all just piling up. I asked her why she chose to vent to me, and she said it’s because I’m trustworthy—but like bro, I’m also going through it. I’m not a therapist. It’s just too much sometimes.
