Another advice I can give you is to see if there's anything you need.
Then you can work on asking others for help, as an exchange. It will both literally help you, and make you feel less "used".
If someone refuses, don't help them anymore.
If someone can't help you out, help them less.
If someone is willing to and is helping you, keep them.
If someone is willing but can't help you, let time tell.
