Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well.
In the past, I used to talk to people with social anxiety or depression through chat on facebook or forums like this, and I always tried to help them feel better or I tried to give them some advice or at least just some kind of support, so that they felt they were not alone. But that situation has changed lately, since I don't feel I can do much for people telling me their problems at the moment, at least most of the time. How can I say it, it is as if I felt weak inside right now, I don't feel the strenght to support anybody else, maybe because it's hard for me to find the strenght within myself. Sometimes my problems become so overwhelming that I feel exhausted and I need to rest. And for that reason most of the time I feel "useless". But I know that I can't help anyone if I am not well first.
How can I get a balanced attitude towards this? thank you very much for reading
