I feel bad for not being able to help anyone on here
Im so mentally worn out. I wish I could help people but knowing that I have no mental energy to help anyone makes me feel weak. I feel so beaten down

It sounds like you're going through a lot, I'm sorry you're feeling down. Sometimes we have to help ourselves before we can help others. And that is totally okay. Reach out for help if you need it. You're not alone. When you are feeling better you can help others and pay it forward. 💗
@danymaria you're definitely not weak, even professionals who have been helping people for years, or fresh new therapists, everyone has times when they are emotionally drained and can't support others. That's not weakness, that's just being human :) I understand how you feel, it really does feel bad when you want to do good and help others but are feeling too low yourself...but at the same time, that's nothing to be ashamed of. Sometimes you just need to focus on you for a while. You matter too. Sometimes, taking care of yourself IS helping others, because you can get a better understanding of self care, and you can grow yourself until you're ready to pass that care and growth to others. You don't have to be hard on yourself :)
