I Think I Care Too Much Sometimes
Well, whenever I get super anxious or super stressed out about something, I get these really bad chest pains. It feels like something is squeezing extremely hard on my chest cavity, and it is not fun at all.
This happened last when I made a friend online who was battling depression. I tried to help all that I could but it just wasn't enough. No, he didn't do anything drastic, but my worry and ineffectiveness was hard on me. The chest pains started and I had to go to the doctor about it.
He said that there was nothing wrong physically, but it looked to be caused by extreme stress. He asked if anything has been particularly stressful, and that was my first thought.
I've since been able to control it, but it still happens occasionally. I just care a little bit too much sometimes, and that makes me feel terrible. It kinda feels like my body is being an attention whore when there are people out there who need attention more than I.
