Theres a limit to your control, you can only help whatever cause you care most about so much, and so you should help in significant way, with significant effort.
But also there will always be lots of suffering that you cannot stop, and my philosophy there is, why suffer yourself over it? Your suffering wont help the dying babies or abused animals or tortured good people.
So whats the point of feeling sad? If you have a choice to be happy and you do if you have enough skill psychologically, then you should be happy. If anything it makes you stronger and better able to help out if you choose to not suffer! You are not much good depressed!
One caveat would be when you are happy you tend to forget about your cause and the negative stuff and you should always remember to help out.
