Donating compulsion ,keep getting messages. Help
I talked about this previously,but I keep getting messages from (verified) people in Gaza begging for donations to save their life. I got many many many messages and felt obliged to donate to all of them . I have spent probably nearly around over 80$ when I do not have a job and am using old savings from a job two years ago, but my parents support me thru uni right now so I don't really need the money so I feel guilty if I do not donate. I turned off my messages to followers only but I still get messaged by people who previously talked to me because it doesn't effect people who previously talked to me. They keep messaging me again and again,I stopped donating for a little because it was getting to be a huge compulsion and i had spent a lot but the guilt got the better of me and I kept donating again. I keep getting anxious,constantly refreshing my tumblr for new messages every second,feeling dread that someone might be begging me for their life again,I debated deleting my account,as it was the only way to stop the cycle without blocking people which I don't want to do. But even doing this I feel awful. I am too overwhelmed by this and can't handle it,but I feel bad that this is so. I don't know what to do
