I've been told that I have a savior complex

Hmmm.

Compassion and kindness are just as much a natural instinct as the need to eat when you are hungry.

Balance your desire to help with your rational brain ( just like one does when they want to punch someone in the face but the cons are more than what they view it’s worth). Dont take on more than you can handle just do what you can and look into local organizations that can be of service to the person in need.

Nothing wrong with wanting to help others but sometimes a person is not ready for help or doesn’t deserve it.
These are important distinctions.
You also have to keep yourself first, never let a person jeapordize your wellbeing, even if that means cutting them off to drown.
