Why do I feel everything so deeply?!

[Sabrinaspellman01]

Just some late night pondering really. I just feel things really deeply, for example worry about family members/loved ones, get all upset about things that haven't even happened, feel really sorry for people I see in my every day life. It's so strange. I'm not depressed or anything like that, I know I'm probably just quite a sensitive person in general. Does anyone else get this/know what I mean? Thanks 😊

I used to be "too sensitive" until it got too much. Like another poster talked about, I had a hard time separating my own feelings from others because I was too attuned. A nervous breakdown in my youth and antidepressants (for life?) has helped me keep the feelings at bay. I would literally not eat and sleep thinking about how to solve the misery in the world. Now it's one day at a time. I always help out around me when needed but I don't get "overinvolved" because I now I need to protect myself from falling. And my DC need their mum.

A lot of these stories sound more like anxiety to me.

It about finding a happy medium, l think
particularly as you get older, you can still be empathetic, doesn’t mean to say, you’re a doormat, or have MH issues.What resonates with me, treat others, how, you would like to be treated.That doesn’t mean to say, l’m not going to have an opinion or stand up, for what l believe.

Nah I fill up every time i see some something nice on the internet
Good.
