Buddhism says you first should take care of yourself before helping others. Is that okay for you?

Mmmhm like my stepdad always told me you can’t take care of nobody if you don’t take care of you

I believe that to be true. I got qualified as a mental health first aider a while back and it was a key point they stressed.

It's common wisdom, it's okay to me.
Those who have forgotten self care in way of helping others learn that lession.

Yes, even the lady on the airplane says in the event of a loss of cabin pressure you should put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others
