(((Karen))),
You’ve helped many people. Take a look at what you have done instead of what you haven’t and be proud of yourself for doing what you could, when you could. You are a kind, warm, loving, empathetic person, but you can’t save the world overnight. Give yourself a few days ;).
And start listening to Bubba, okay? People (probably you once or twice) always tell me that if I don’t take care of myself first, I won’t be able to take care of my little guy in the best way I can and should. Same goes for you and helping the homeless people, Babblers, family, and friends. The key is taking care of yourself first. Don’t get me wrong, everyone should surround themselves with good, supportive people, but in the end, you have to learn to take care of yourself. And trust me, you CAN do it and it will feel good when you do it. Sometimes, it’s just hard to do it.
Take care and quit beating yourself up.
