I wish every message board had a sticky like this. I quite often open topics only to read the OP and think, this is going to end badly.

that's a high level of empathy that may actually be from a strong spiritual gift that no one has taught you how to use wisely. It's really important to learn how to be a conduit with other people's pain going through us to the Lord--lifted up in intercessory prayer--and His love flowing through us out to other people. Otherwise we end up bottlenecked where we are full of their pain and trying to love them out of our own limited resources
