It gets to me, to my core. I get so anxious and tighten up. I feel I just want to run away from the situation.
I end up losing concentration towards anything and just try shut down.
It also makes me angry and I lose my temper.
I'm trying to listen to my iPod or remove myself from the situation, but I hate the anxiety. I hate not being able to keep things together.
Is this the part where Klonopin comes in handy?

I can't comment about Klonopin however, this is SO hard - I call this my "sponge" behaviour..when I just suck up whatever another's feeling, anger, conflict anything that's is going on around me. Sometimes even if I'm not involved. I always want to avoid conflict. "Echoes" used the word "separateness". I agree, but I call it boundaries. Knowing where we start and another begins and what is acceptable for us. This (over)sensitivity also involves my co-dependency issues. All in all, I really need to work on "what's mine" and not let "what's" yours" undo me. Thanks for the reminders.
