I Feel Sorry For Homeless People

Don't overdo these acts of compassion if they are burning you out. If you are doing this entirely on your own, I wonder if there is an organization you can work with - or start - to share the burden and also think about longer-term ways to help.

My advice is to figure out a way to not internalize everything you see.

Self care comes first. There is such a thing as compassion fatigue. Eat right, exercise and get rest and you can serve others the best.

Also, I'd suggest joining an organization devoted to helping the homeless so you don't feel so alone with your compassion.

Your heart is obviously in the right place. Just take care of yourself.

It is perhaps not for you, at this moment in time. You helped and made a difference. Your current situation calls for self care, there is nothing wrong with that. In future you might be ready again, but not now. Best wishes.

Yeah, don't internalize everything you see. Homeless people are strong survivors, trust me, they know how to get by. Sometimes, just an ear to listen too or a smile goes a long way...Homeless/street people are very smart, they know where to get food, good places to sleep, places to meet people at certain times, places not to go at certain times ect.

How would help others if you, your self weak? My point is, you cant allow emotional damage to your self just because you are sympathetic nature. Chanallize your good emotions to others well being and keep helping others pratical, knowing that you are sincere and being helpful.

I was volunteering for two years in a charity organization, soup kitchen in mornings for refugees and homeless, and now rarely but I go to that organization

I do too,it's the ones panhandling are making it hard for the homeless,making it hard for them get help,,,,,,

So quit going there then. I'm sure they all have themselves to blame for being homeless anyway.
