My husband and I have been trying to help my son who is going thru a lot of stuff right now. This has been stressful for me and my husband for the past couple of weeks but my son has made progress and is doing better.

Today I was hit with a huge feeling of depression and I'm not sure why. It seems to really take a lot out of me lately when trying to help someone else. I've started feeling like I'm heading toward that breaking point again.

I've spent my life helping others and now I don't understand why I'm unable to do much of it without feeling emotionally drained. It happened a while back here on the site, and now it's happening IRL too. I will not be me if I can't be of help.
