I relate to the experience you've described in the first couple paragraphs. I agree. Feeling for others can get very draining (as can thinking for other people)

I relate to the experience you've described in the first couple paragraphs. I agree. Feeling for others can get very draining (as can thinking for other people). You need to make sure you're keeping yourself, uh, healthy in order to be able to keep helping people, and that means setting boundaries. I wish I could help everyone, but I realistically cannot, and while sad, it is a good realization.
