codependency question - christian iconography

a current bad habit im thinking i have is that for reasons of compassion and pride i tend to enjoy losing myself in helping other people.

this could well [probably is] doing me harm since i ending up flat and in need myself after getting lost in helping other folks.

however seems to me like part of the why has something to do with a part of my trying to emulate the christ i was taught at school.

some sort of wish to save others -

now again maybe i have my theology wrong and jesus didnt lose himself in others problems although if you believe in the jesus story he was killed when all he wanted to do was raise human conciousness.

am i following this example?

ps i am codepdendent quite bad and have been working on it for a week or so actively
