    unknownanonymous i am inimitable, i am an original|18+

    so, basically, i worry about the people i care about, which is a completely ordinary thing for people to do, not inherently bad and alright when i'm actually able to help them, but also a thing that causes significant distress for me when i think i can't help them. and i have anxiety, so well, yeah...

    anyway, what i'm basically asking is: how should i deal with worrying about people when (i think) i'm not capable of helping them? how should i balance my self-care and happiness with my concern for them?

    'cause, yeah, though the people i care about are important to me, i think my self-care should be too and that i shouldn't cause myself more distress than necessary.
