Taniqua's-teen-advice answered Wednesday May 18 2005, 5:37 pm: Hi, what I think you should do is try not to work so hard, see me I try to help about at least 15 people a day, sometimes I get kind of sad and stressed too. If you don't have a column you should get one because you can help lots of others with every day problems
xOshannenOx answered Tuesday May 17 2005, 8:10 pm: Your just like me I love giving people advice and they always seam to ask me for it but if I start getting overwealmed I stop offering it out! Do what you like to do but keep it on the low side dont let other peoples problems get in your head and become a part of your problems worry about yourself and be concerned about others after you.......that might seem a little selfish bu tit works
hope this helps ~**~SHANNEN~**~ 12 [ xOshannenOx's advice column | Ask xOshannenOx A Question ]
ComatoseNOtiose answered Tuesday May 17 2005, 7:57 pm: That's good that you like to help, I'm like that too. You have to try not to get absorbed in someone's problems though. Just do all you can and if it's really serious recommend them to a therapist or someone who can help better than you, because you can only help so much. Don't obsess over helping people, take a day off every now and then and just do something fun to take your mind off things, or talk about happy things with the same people sometimes. It also helps to write about it and keep in touch with people you worry about, just let them know you care. [ ComatoseNOtiose's advice column | Ask ComatoseNOtiose A Question ]

OrangeChikn answered Monday May 16 2005, 7:49 pm: You need to tell them before they come at you looking for advice that you will try to help them but that they can't expect everything out of you. You're a person and you sometimes need advice too. Let them know that, but continue to help them if you can.
Bob_the_Sword_Test_Dummy answered Monday May 16 2005, 7:48 pm: Maybe you should take a little break and not give advice. But instead you can just give a few of your opinions or hints just little ones. I think it's becuz you give so much that they expect so much from you. So leave their problems to themselves but if it gets out of hand or you feel the absolute need to give advice then do so.
