What do I do about this?!
Question: What do I do about this!?
I'm not sure if it's a condition or anything anyone knows about yet but I have this!.!.!.thing where I almost feed off other people's emotions!. When I talk with a person - even online - I can almost feel what they're feeling!. This is really bad because when I come out of feeling all depressed and another person is feeling the same I go right back to the way I was before and sometimes I'm not even aware of it!.
It's madness!
(I seriously doubt I have depression!. It's not a regular thing!.!.!.just comes and goes every now and then when I have a lot to think about at once concerning friendships, family etc!.!.!.)
I know that sometimes it's a good thing but when I'm talking in a group I just feel tense and stressed all of a sudden and I want to get rid of feeling everything other people are feeling!.
Any suggestions!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's called empathy!.
You may be overly sensitive to other people's emotions!.
I know that sometimes when someone is irritated,or feeling really sad it grows on me and ruins my day!. Not their fault,but I tend to feel very sorry for them,or end up feeling irritated too!.
I suggest surrounding yourself with very positive people!. I'm not saying leave the sad people on their own,but there is only so much help you can provide until it starts wearing on you!.
Good luck!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
