No worries. You could ask a moderator to delete your email address. And you could start a new thread to ask if any one’s interested ! ---

What about doing volunteer work for, say, the Red Cross? Your urge to help would be in an organized setting where your contribution is channeled to people who really need the help. You volunteer on a set schedule and then go home to a place where you help no one. ---

It’s good that I work for an organization like Jasmine suggested, where help is channeled to those truly in need. That was good guidance Jasmine mentioned there. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/compulsive-helpers-anonymous-come-in-here/697188.md?page=1)
