Lindsey, there will be more opportunities when you are better prepared to handle them. You have a lot going on right now. Why don't you consider doing one random act of kindness for someone each week. That may fulfill your need to do kind things and brighten other's lives as well. It could be mailing someone a card, holding the door for someone, bringing a stressed coworker a cup of coffee. Little things that do make a difference and help you feel good too.

Just don't overdo even this. For this, too, can be stressful in itself. Voice of experience speaking here.
