Hi pancake,
I admire you greatly for helping teenagers, that is a fantastic thing to do.
I don't think it is at all surprising that it is hard to seperate your own feelings from those of the person you are trying to help but that is how you can help them in a way that others can't - becuase you know exactly how they feel. And it is not surprising it is taking its toll on you, I imagine any caring profession is extremely hard.
Well done for coping with everything, I think most, if not everyone, in here will know how hard that is.
Sometimes I think it is best to admit to yourself that you are not coping, do you have anyone you could talk to? Other carers?
I'm always here if you want to chat
*offers hugs*
