I've shared on my journal about a neighbor who is draining me dry. There's a hard line between being helpful and being used....when we're sometimes helping for the wrong reason, or the motivation isn't from God, seems that troubles pop up. That's not say that the Lord only puts comfortable tasks in front of us, goodness no, but the Martha has to ask....is she doing this thing for God's glory or her own? My issue, like you bring up, is when I feel that I'm the only person who can 'fix it'. Self-glory for sure. Ouch.
