I was adopted at birth into a family where the mother had miscarriages and an infant death after a live birth. i was the "fix it" baby for a woman severely depressed and narcicisstic. i'm finding as an adult that I feel others pain deeply and have an instinctive need to try and fix it for them. As such, I continue to attract needy people, either emotionally or financially. i cant afford to continue to take in other people's burdens, either for my physical, emotional or financial health. But how do I stop the feelings and this instinct to help others even at my own detriment? I dont believe there is a pill for this one. Anyone else had any successes in this area and if so, how did you do it?
You need to see a licensed therapist. They will help you work through this. Good luck.
