So you give you a lot to people, but who gives to you?

Today, I realized I am giving so much love, so much care, so much involvement, so much help, with words, actions, feelings... a lot. While saving so little to myself, almost nothing, actually. I hadn't realized until a couple people started pointing it.
Yesterday, a sister of a friend's to whom I went to to give help told me: I see you helping and emotionally supporting this and that person, but who's there for you?
And then yesterday, a person here, a new friend said: "

You are more than just a fire extinguisher, you have so much mor worth and merit than being of use to another tortured soul

"
At first I dismissed it because I thought it is what I'm made for...
And now, I spent a couple hours just doing things for the sake of others and now... I'm spent.
And I realized they might be right.
I love helping others, I really do... but I think I'm running on empty. Have been for a long time. I don't know how to stop.

Its not easy. My best advice. Little increments....like a jar full of change. Little bits here and there will add up.
