Well, I would tell them in a nice way that, you don't mind being there for them, and you will help the best way you can, but you have problems too and it would be nice if they could help you out as well and listen to you.

I may not know what it is like to be in a wheel chair, but I know what it is like to feel no one understands. If you ever need to talk or to blow off some steam we are here for you.

Martina,
Ughh I have the same problem
See what I do is I don;t answer the phone anymore and let voicemail get it, that way when I am having my time, I am not bothered by other things. Also, I just stopped advising and just listened. Stopped a whole lot of angst and aggravation on my end.
