I've always been a big believer in being able to handle these things yourself. Most people only seem to share pity, nothing useful.
But if you insist, you might try:
1. A psychologist. Perfectly healthy people do occasionally visit them irregularly to have someone to talk to someone
honestly, bounce ideas off of, and get a healthy direction for their life
2. Religion. The book or the preacher
3. Start a journal (offline or online anonymous) so you're "talking" to yourself

Oh God. I bet that story has an unfortunate, unfortunate end. Boyfriend != brain chemistry altering pills.

Of course not. You're being to available, helpful, and supplicating. Most people will perceive this as you having a lower social status and seeking approval, rather than choosing to be nice from some moral high ground.
...Whoa, what the fuck

How do you figure this is your duty?! Talk about unreasonable stress.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
