I don't know if I am over-empathetic or if over-anxious, but I just hate seeing my loved ones in pain. Like I get absorbed in the whole worry.

When I was a kid, my mom used to be ill frequently. So I was frequently thinking if she's okay. I used to be worried all day and even pray to get her diseases so she wouldn't be in pain and I won't have to worry.

This probably made me empathetic so now if I'm with people, I care if they are okay, comfortable and worry if they feel slightly sick. Like, I'll feel restless and anxious too.

This was still okay as it was physical illness.
But now because I've grown up and understand mental worries tooo..this has taken a toss.

To generalize.. my brain now thinks what my loved ones might be thinking or feeling and get worried about them.

A few days back my mom got in an argument with her sister in law and I'm worried if she is okay. She ssid something about it last night and it has aggravated my worry. Like I SHOULD BE KNOWING this is a part of life and they'll handle but I'm so anxious of any pain to my mom


I'm just over thinking about future and worrying if something happens and it pains or worries her 

Is this healthy empathy?
Or is this what anxiety looks like?
