Feeling depressed when others are in pain

Post Reply New Topic

Every time I find out that someone else has or had a headache, my heart sinks and I often lose my appetite and I feel sad. I myself don't get headaches, but I feel bad when someone else has one and I can't take it away from them. Although I don't self harm anymore, it makes me want to really bad sometimes. I often feel like God will take away the pain of my loved ones if I sacrifice my health. I know it sounds nutty and that's why I'm working on not self harming anymore, but I'm wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this feeling.
