Hello BasicHero,

You are not alone in how you feel, this is how many of us feel and I think it is to do with our self-esteem. If you have always done for others and are expected to by others then your own self worth comes from other people's 'opinions.' You'll then put pressure on yourself to be that superhuman! But you know we are human beings and yes we make mistakes, now if your self-worth is all about what other people think, then it becomes a very rocky road. Leading to mental health issues.

You need to help yourself and learn self-care before you can truly help others.
