Falling into a pit of Depression

Only here can I express my true feelings.
I feel very tired every time school ends.
I feel sad every time I return home.
The problem?

I'm becoming an agony aunt.
Every time someone tells me about their problems,
They expect me to solve them.
They expect me to give them advices.
Sometimes, they just want somebody to listen to their thoughts.
I don't know how to answer for fear of giving them what they do not seek.
But every time I oblige.
I don't know why.
But it's becoming frequent everyday.

The reason I'm sad is because I tend to take some of their worries back.
Their fear,
Their sadness.
Evey time I lie in bed,
I keep wondering if it would happen to me.

Sometimes, it is not because of them.
The energy I need to take care of the class.
Every time I step in recharge,
No sooner than after one period it starts depleting.
I wanted to stop because I can't stand it anymore.
I can't take the pressure.
I don't want to let you guys down,
That's why I continued the thorny path.
I know you guys don't want to change a new monitor,
Because you are used with me.
I help you with whatever I have.
My connections with other students.
My connections with the other teachers.

But I'm changing,
I don't know if I can keep this up anymore.
I don't have enough faith in myself anymore.
Everyday I walk in,
WHAM
your needs smack into me,
Demanding it to be solved.
What am I?
Some scullery maid?
A person who have to walk around the school just so you could get your things done in time?
I have had enough.

No matter how the going gets tough I'm not going to soften one bit.
Don't blame me for lack of responsibility.
I don't want to be the 'kind' and 'caring' I used to be.
I'm sorry.
