I don't know what happened but I hope that you can recover quickly. It's okay to stop and tend to your needs, you are not obliged to fix others' problems, even when you can see clear solutions. You might make suggestions but in many cases, altruism is a dangerous place.

You have put out great energy for someone and they seem to have drained you. Take the time and do what you need to recharge, we're here for you.
