Do you ever have certain friends who are going through a really tough time? Do you ever feel the need--no, more than need--the obligation to help and comfort them even though seeing them so hurt brings you pain? Maybe even because seeing them so hurt brings you pain? Do you ever have certain friends rely and lean on you so much that you slowly feel yourself cracking under the weight? Do you ever wonder why everyone goes to you when they are hurting but you can go to no one when you are because they are too focused on their pain? Do you ever give away so much love and support that you realize you have little left for yourself, and you instead find yourself doing nothing but worrying about those who stole your peace? Do you feel your mind so consumed with all of the negative thoughts and problems that you can feel yourself breaking all because they relied on you to fix their problems when you could not?
