i have always been rly empathetic, it breaks me down to see people in distress of any sort. but recently its been a lot worse. one time my boyfriend threw up and i had to pull over on the road bc i was having a panic attack and i couldn’t hold my composure. he was okay but i was certain in the moment and even weeks later thinking abt it, that he was dying or he was in extreme pain and i wished it would’ve been me instead. sometimes i think about the things hes been thru for a split second and i get overwhelmed with anxiety and i get these horrible sharp pains and i feel weak. its not just with him but its mostly with him that i empathize like this. its rly draining and its kind of lonely and idk how to help it.
