I Am Drained

I've periodically helped my boyfriend make rent since I started dating him a year ago next week. Now both he and his father are jobless and I'm helping with rent more frequently and today I'm going to buy groceries for them..

Now an old friend of mine needs help making rent because she's getting her tonsils removed, and a mutual friend asked if I'd be able to help out financially

I told her I'd get back to her by the end of today. I want to help but.. not gonna lie I'm getting kind of overwhelmed

with both bf & his father unemployed it sounds like their expectation of you will only increase. Let alone the old friend. Sounds like it's time to reassess just how much you support others. I sounds to me like you will be drained both emotionally & financially. Will you still serve a purpose for those you are helping then. Time to start looking after you. Rather than being used by others.
