Balancing support and self-care

Posts: 290 The Mix Regular
Hey everyone - I'm just curious to hear other people's advice and experiences on a particular matter. How do you all balance supporting other people (on the mix or otherwise) with looking after your own wellbeing?
I really try my best to provide support in this community whenever I'm able to mentally, but sometimes I'm too depleted emotionally and I guess people aren't much help when they're in that kind of state, so I was interested to know how other people here deal with that.
The topic is other particular interest to me since when I'm older, I'd love to have a job where I can support and help others, specifically children, and I think working in a nursery or a similar setting would be really healing and fulfilling.
I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts
