I am too sensitive

[Iam]

I am too sensitive about almost everything. Like, when I see a photo or video of an abused animal, it makes me sad and depressed. Like today, at home, a rat keep coming back to the garage, then we found out another rat died inside a box. So, the alive rat is just probably trying to save or grieving over this dead rat cos maybe they’re family or something. I feel so sad while other people here are hunting the alive one so they can kill it. Also, when I watch news and hear about wars and stuffs, it makes me so worried about my loved ones and the future. And when a loved one is hurting or angry, I feel it too when I’m not supposed to. Whoever they hate, I hate too. My situation makes me so anxious and depressed all the time. Like, life is so tiring and unfair and I just want isolate myself from everything.

You’re maybe thinking, I am a good person, but, honestly, I think otherwise. I’ve had bad thoughts too, towards those that I hate. Like, when I’m so mad, I’d wish someone is dead or is suffering. I always try to apologize to God for it. My life is pretty tiring with all these emotions and thoughts. Hays.

The bad thoughts are all just thoughts. I would never act on it. (Like killing, etc.)

Rats spread disease and are in unlimited supply. I’m not aware of them mourning over their dead.

Also, when I watch news and hear about wars and stuffs, it makes me so worried about my loved ones and the future.

Please stop watching the News.

I’m not sure what the goal of this Thread is; nevertheless, you should talk with your Doctor about your concerns. He can refer you to someone who can help.

You might be a Highly Sensitive person. They tend to be very sensitive to the things you mentioned.

You are a very “feeling” person, and that is good. Many people feel strongly about animals being hurt too.

But the difference is that you are too affected by it. You are depressed, or sad or worried all the time because of things going on around you. That is not really “normal.”

Please, look into getting professional help with your anxiety and depression. You should not have to go through life in a constant state of depression, worry or fear. May God bless you and guide you to his peace.

Stop watching TV.

Curb youtube and other media that spouts this stuff. It’s literally scripted to make you anxious and depressed.

It sounds like you may be someone who is naturally more sensitive with a dose of unhealthy anxiety.

It would be good to see a doctor and chat about therapy or even medicine.

My not medical advise is to google “natural ways to reduce anxiety”

I would also suggest that you minimize any sort of thing that makes you humanize animals. A rat didn’t keep going into a garage because it loved the other rat, it kept going in the garage because it was safe, warm and likely had some sort of food.

Being naturally sensitive is not bad, it can be quite healthy and beautiful. However, it is not natural or good if your sensitivity and anxiety are so overwhelming they cripple you.
