What’s slowly killing you right now?

I feel like I’ve just been used by all the girls I’ve ever had a relationship with, most notably my ex who I was with for 5 years left me last October, almost a year ago. We started talking since we were both quiet in college and she had a lot of problems, depression, insomnia etc. And I used to stay up hours talking to her trying to help her and be there for her. Pretty much our entire relationship it felt like a one-way therapy session for her and I didn’t really notice how little she did for me until it ended, but it seems now she’s feeling better she no longer needed me and left me for someone else. It made me think about other relationships I’ve had and there’s a pattern of me only getting close to them because I’ve tried to help them when they’ve been vulnerable. Now I’m out of education and working I haven’t met anyone or spoke to anyone since that breakup and I just feel super lonely and I’ve started to question even if I eventually find someone, maybe it’ll be the same cycle again, that they only like me because I’m the only one there helping and I’ll just be replaceable in the end
