I need to not take on other people's stress

@DrWatson ☹️ my own stress is doing that lately, I want to be a good friend but I physically feel that stuff

@DrWatson Ditto. I feel I need this place to prompt me to get back into my writing, but the added stress from mockery and hate talk makes me wonder if it's worth it.

@Nanori I just wish I could listen and not feel like the things are happening to me too, if that makes sense

@Nebula not get emotionally involved*

That needs special training which counselors and therapists have. Refer your friend to one and stay out of it. Prioritize your sanity.

@HootyTheNightOwl for real

@Nebula I start shaking like I'm having a seizure - but I can walk and communicate as I normally would.

@HootyTheNightOwl I get like that when I have a panic attack 😬

@SW-User I wish there was a way to not internalize it and still be there for her

@Nebula And I wish I had an answer to that for both of us.

@Ducky of course I care

@robertsnj I ust feel stressed for people close to me that are going through a hard time

@deadgerbil can I borrow yours?

@Nebula I need my two. Thank you
