Sometimes you have to take the time to take care of yourself. It is okay to be selfish at times so that you can renew your mind and body. Most people spend a lot of time caring for other people and leave themselves frazzled and stressed. That is great that you are doing for others. However, you must take time for yourself in order to take care of yourself.
Look at it this way, if you do not care for yourself, you eventually get sick and then you are unable to care for the other people anyway. So, it is in everybody's interest that you take time out to care for yourself. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate, it could be just a few hours of quiet time relaxing or my favorite, a massage. The best thing to chase away the blues, in my opinion is nice relaxing at least 1 hour massage. If that is not your thing, take a nice long bath or just curl up in bed with a good book or watch a movie.
My point is take care of yourself first then you are able to take care of others. You can start now by giving yourself a nice big hug.
