Don't get me wrong, I find it very interesting to read about, but after I do, it's all I can think about. I start unintentionally imagining the pain people have gone through and it just ruins my entire day. It's like this dark cloud on my mind. It's so weird because I can watch most movies with dark subject matter and I'm completely fine. But if I read about real events, it affects me deeply. 

This may not be a BPD thing but I thought that some of you may be able to relate because of our shared sensitivity to emotions.
