Just had a talk with my IC. She suggests I just tell my W that I am very concerned for her health and well being, and ask how I can help, if I can help. Let her know I am here for her. She thinks W might be unable to separate the friend part from the relationship part, and might be concerned that she is sending mixed messages. She tells me to be careful to not get caught up in the tumble, and that I need to occassionally put all these troubles away for a while and focus on something else. This last part has been impossible for quite a while.

I am really beginning to wonder if I am not really damaging myself here.
