Chizuru, you feel responsible for everyone's emotional well being. When anyone is emotionally unwell, especially anyone you care about, you feel guilty. You feel guilty until they are okay. The problem is people are people, and they will always have problems and times they are not okay.
Long term, you need to separate you (Chizuru) and other people's well being. Which, I'm not a therapist. We're crew. We're on the same crew. That's what I'd call it back home. I'm here for you. I'll give you the best advice I have.
[ Even if it's from media. ]
You work on it. You try.
There's something a therapist once told me about feelings and strong feelings. There's nothing wrong with the feeling itself. So don't feel guilty about feeling guilty. Instead, you have to separate yourself from your emotion. Observe it. Imagine you're lying down somewhere you really like and watching the sky. You watch clouds float by. Those clouds are your emotions. You can imagine them however you want. Big and fluffy. Dark and sparking. They're there. They aren't you. You watch them.
Can you do that Chizuru? Every day. For... half an hour?
