I'm wondering if anyone can relate to this.
Whenever i know that someone close to me, my parents or a close friend, is sad or having a rough time. I feel bad as well.
To put it in the way my therapist does, i take on the feelings others have and forget about myself.
For example i just got of the phone with my parents to let them know that i will test myself for covid tomorrow and if it's positive i can't visit them for christmas.
My dad got pretty worried about it and now i have anxiety because of it.
I mean i of course care for my parents, but i should not take on their feelings. I just don't know how not to and it's driving me crazy.
