My friend is going through a bad divorce process where she was a victim of domestic violence. She showed me pictures of her bruises and played a voice recording of her husband hitting her and her crying. It triggered a very bad anxiety attack and I was a crying shaking mess.

I feel guilty that I cannot be there for her. I cannot listen to her when she goes into details because it makes me extremely anxious. I know I am not the victim here nor have I gone through something as bad as it to be triggered and that is why I hate the way I feel but I feel it. I have been anxious the entire day and nothing seems to help. I hate how I feel and I wish I could change but I don't know what to do :( sorry for the rant.
