Mamacita, I'm just chiming in with others in wishing the very best for you and your loved ones. As another person who is hypersensitive to the needs of others, I have to work hard at not "living" another's deeply troubling situations. Setting personal boundaries is easier said than done for some of us.

Years ago, I told a neighbor that I was a master at worrying. She thought I'd said: I'd mastered worry and asked: How did you Do that???...she's still waiting for my answer...vbg Sending you big cyber hugs.

Hello @fiesty76,

I do like what you said, "... I have to work hard at not "living" another's deeply troubling situations."

That is a very succinct way of describing folks who are overwhelmed by the problems of others. Sometimes worriers will live the troubling situations of others.

I really appreciate that description, well put!!
