Sadness overload

I have had my depression and anxiety a bit more controlled, but as of late I am struggling. I feel like all I do is give, give, give, support, listen, share, and give some more. People always call me to tell me about their lives, to vent, to hear words of encouragement or just a little laugh....I have a sense of humor that most people enjoy. I am just so sad and feel depleted. Am I wrong to feel this way? I live alone, I have 1 cat (my other died in February). And I am babysitting 5 of my friend's cats in my basement until her home that was burned gets repaired (happened Feb 17....takes 6-9 months to repair).....so I have 6 little kitty souls that need me under my roof.

You seem like a very kind person, and I don't think you are wrong at all to feel this way. It is good you can be so supportive of others in life, but you also have your needs as well, and they are just as valid as everybody else's. Please don't give up, and keep seeking support like you have just now done. Try not to be so hard on yourself as you go through this. Regardless of whether we experience depression or anxiety, we all have our highs and lows. Please don't beat yourself up when you are going through a low. Remember this is temporary. Sending positive energy. 🙏🙏🙏
