I feel horrible tonight because a dear friend of mine is in a lot of pain. In his stronger days, he's the one who's by my side helping me through difficult times. I try my best to be there for him, but I'm so weak myself, I can't provide him with the support he needs to get through this. I feel horrible. My own issues are weighing me down to the point where I can't lift him up. I wish I had strength enough to help.

I don't know the situation that either of you are in. But often times a sympathetic ear can go a long way. I hope things begin to turn around for both of you.

Have you asked him what support he needs?

Do you have to lift him up? Like, could you gently paddle and float beside him while he's on a flotation device?

Don't feel horrible.
You are doing your best and you are still there for him. That's all you can do .
I am sure it is appreciated.

honestly, even though I don't know your situation, simply being there is already a lot, best of luck to both of you.
