I’m overly empathic and feel sad over bad things that happen in the world.?
I don’t know what to do or why I am so sensitive. I just know that it’s gotten to the point where I can’t cope with any kind of bad news. Whether it be something about a child being mistreated (this is the worst and hardest thing for me to deal with) or someone going hungry, or even something that happens on the other side of the planet, I get sick with worry for these people.
I know I’m just one person and I’m certainly not God and can’t help people I don’t even know exist, but it’s getting ridiculous and my own health and mental wellness is at stake. I look at other people who hear bad news and just shrug it off and I don’t understand. Me, I can’t eat and I worry about it for days or weeks.
Does anyone have any advice about how to cope? I would see a psychologist but I don’t have insurance and can’t afford to go, so please don’t suggest that. Thanks for your help.
Just do what you can and ask GOD to do the rest and you can also pray for yourself that he give you peace

Sounds like you might be suffering with some anxiety, it tends to make you feel over sensitive to negative issues. or seeing things in a negative light. that doesnt nesissarily mean in a bad way, just means your more prone to feeling down, anxiety can also lead to depression but depression can be a chemical imbalance. it could be that yo have an oversensitive prefrontal cortex
