how to consider other people's needs and feelings when you, yourself, are under emotional duress
Can you help others if you first haven't helped yourself? I think of airplanes. Where they suggest that before putting a "mask" on someone else make sure that you first have a mask on youself. Is it selfish or is it responsible? Can you do both at the same time? Is it effective?
