Once upon a time, the hare challenged the tortoise to a race... you probably already know the rest of that story.
I was also thinking that pacing yourself helps to extend the time before
you crash.

I was pacing myself, I let myself sit down for a bit but that was helping my friends to fill out forms and figure out what they should do...

Good, good!

I know I should let myself have a break once in a while, but something deep down said I had to do it. If not for them, for myself.

That is a very good reason to do it. Keep watching, though, to make sure you're still doing it
for yourself, not
to yourself...

I don't care if it's hard on me at the time, until I sit down and feel it all punch me in the gut.

I don't know if you've flown much (I haven't in years, myself) but I think almost everyone's heard of this anyway: when they do the safety talk, they tell you that if the cabin pressure fails and the oxygen masks drop down from the ceiling, you need to put your own mask on first before you start helping anyone else with theirs. There's a good reason for that, and you've probably already figured out what it is -- for everyone else. You seem to be having a bit of difficulty applying that principle to yourself, though.

(I) shouldn't be putting so much pressure on myself and so much strain on my body and stuff, but... I just... I don't know  I just feel like dying.

You're doing fine, hun. Now do make time to rest for a bit and take care of yourself.
