You are right about the fact that we won't help anybody if we burn ourselves out. I have realized that now that my OCD is under control, I am able to do much more good stuff than before! Yes, before I would push myself to do so much much much, probably helping some people (and some bugs) on the way, but mostly just building up more and more anger at myself and other people... wearing myself out.
I am now still very involved with helping homeless people. For the first time in my life I can actually have a job in the social services field (beofre it would have just been too much). I can feel love and spread love. And I do still care about bugs :-), oh, I am a vegetarian too. I have realized that there is only so much we can do.Kat26
