I have that same guilt, though not as bad as it used to be. Most of my life has been spent taking care of somebody else, so now I struggle with feeling guilty if I'm doing something (even if it's doing nothing) for me. I see what's going on in the world and think I should be doing something to help, but I can't fix everything, and I have to keep telling myself that. I can do little things that may not make a big difference but do make a difference for somebody, and that's all I can do. Does that make sense?
