Why does it trigger me when others are feeling bad?

Hello, I have depression and borderline personality disorder.

I fell into a “hole” again because a friend of mine wasn’t doing well mentally and I was thinking about how I could help her.
now I've fallen into a hole again

Why? Of course, nobody can answer that because nobody can read my feelings and thoughts, but maybe there is a psychological approach to something like this.

When people with a pronounced empathy experience that it is bad for another person, they often feel a great power to help, but knowing that they cannot help.

This feeling can be so stressful that it acts on its own soul as a spike that cannot be pulled out. Such a state can be imagined as a constant feeling of fear or sadness, which constantly sums up in the head, clamps the heart and lets every breath become torment.

This should never be an excuse to stop being clear in your own life.

You know the feeling of yourself and you know how terrible it feels and because it isn’t any person, but a friend, it hits you all the more, because you want friends to be good. Besides, you are probably very empathic.

can be that you are very empathic and therefore lets you go in.

I also know that and then I decided to be only superficial with some people, where I don’t care about the sufgang and who would otherwise pass. psychologically difficult, then, I only notice with real few people.
