I need to know this one
 

Does anybody else do this, I feel that I have to absorb the pain and bad feeling of everybody around me to see if they feel better, no matter how bad it makes me feel in the process. I think this might be why I've been so depressed lately, I'm not sure though.

Yes I do that too (but then again I'm an empath, so I know why I do it).
And yes that is probably why you have been so depressed. You need to learn to ground yourself.

I don't think that most peopel know how it feels to be this way, I hate it, I guess thats why I was always depressed in high school, I tried to feel the way other feel, and depression is really the only thing I feel, so I stack everybody elses on top of my own, and then it stacks up so bad that I lose the will to even move sometimes.
