When people open up to me I’ve taken it as my personal responsibility to listen and help them. In therapy now for a few years I recognize my situation with this man isn’t healthy for me, but I always feel drawn to him. I’ll tell myself to cut things off but my hormones or loneliness get the best of me. What would be the best course of action besides just “cut the guy off”, I haven’t had success with this.

Date the man properly, get him into therapy.
Either date him, get him to therapy, or stop using him for the attention.
There’s no good answer besides cut him off if you recognize the relationship isn’t healthy for you. You could tell him you don’t want to actually be friends and listen to his problems but that’s kind of shitty too.
