so idk if this really has to do with anxiety but it’s definitely coming from my tendency to overthink which i think goes hand and hand. 

my best friend (17F) and i (16F) haven’t spoken in a while, we live in different states and try to face time weekly, we haven’t in a few weeks because she has been particularly busy. i called her for about 30 minutes earlier this week and she seemed very normal. we were supposed to talk again today but she canceled again because she’s starting therapy. (i did one session a couple weeks ago for anxiety and panic disorder but haven’t gone back) i asked her if she was doing OK and she said, “i’ve been better lol! i’ll tell you everything next time we talk.” I offered my support obviously but she said earlier that she couldn’t stop crying and is having some issues with her friends none of which i know anything about.

before this i was having a pretty good day, not much anxiety. but now i literally feel awful. i feel like i could thr*w up and am holding back tears. i really don’t know why i just feel so bad and i know that it sounds stupid but i genuinely have a problem with being overly empathetic idk if thats a real thing but that’s always how it is for me. if someones having a bad day, i start feeling like crap. if someone starts feeling sick than i do too. it is so exhausting like i can’t stop worrying about my friend even though she’s probably OK. i’ve been in that same situation a thousand times i just don’t really tell anyone so idk. it sounds stupid but now i just feel like my day is ruined and i’m not sure if i’m overthinking or something i just feel so terrible. is this a problem for anyone else or….????

TL;DR 
my best friend implied that she might be having some mental health issues and now after hearing about i feel extremely horrible/have anxiety which makes me feel like i’m overly empathetic.
