Ways to Help Harness/Reign In Empathy?
I have so much empathy, it gets literally exhausting and depressing. I need to be able to reign it in. Does anybody have any tips on like reigning it in or being able to dial it down some? It just gets too much sometimes. . . I'm in therapy so I'll be working on it with my therapist. I just wanted a few ideas from everyday laymen as well

Who wants to share some empathy?

Mamma, I'm slowly drowning, in all the tears I've cried. I'm lost in a sea of grief, with no one by my side. Mamma, you didn't teach me, what to do when you were gone. You didn't leave a list, I searched and there was none. Mamma, tell me what to do, like you always did. I'm drowning in... read more
