<font color="#000088">I have been venturing outside of this forum and have posted in General about this privacy issue, which I don't want to bring here.

Lately, I am having a lot of panic attacks and triggers from post, even here, when I'm reading or replying. I absorb peoples feelings and take them on as my own.

I have been told about boundaries and never knew I could set them for myself. I don't know how or that I have the right to. How do I get myself to believe that I have the right to set boundaries for myself? And what kind of boundaries do I set?

I really don't understand and am getting upset, panicked, triggered, fearful, and feeling like I should protect myself and leave. I'm not looking for "please don't go" although I appreciate it and feel the sentiment.

I'm in a state of confusion and fear and triggers and sadness and feel the need to run. I'm on the verge of tears, which is unusual for me. I'm overloaded.

Can someone help me? I don't know how to help myself right now. I'm scared </font>
