How far should you go with by helping people ?

Basically they be dumping there problems onto me non stop and I can’t deal with it .
They’ll end up fine an I’ll be the one who’d end up in pysche ward .
So how far should I go with helping people .
I’m only a normal person and I don’t have answers most of the time and cause really the answer to that is that I’m not God .
How far should you go cause at times you be brain washed into helping people and they be going over and over the same stuff .
See when your doing it for so long helping people or being there for them (16years of it) when you back off you be thinking your a very selfish person .

Set boundaries.
Did you cause the problem?
Is it really your responsibility to fix everything for these people ?
And how is their shit affecting you?
You can lend an ear give an opinion, but you can't fix other peoples lives.
They have to do it themselves.
Saying no can be rough especially if it's against your nature to do so.
