Hi LOSTnowFOUND, probably don't need to ask these but just checking on the real basics........your T may be right, but have you had a complete/full medical just in case there's anything else causing the tiredness?? And tiredness in itself can make feelings more intense/overwhelming/draining if tiredness is a possible cause.
And last one but could depression be a possibility, have you had that looked into??
Anyway, like I said maybe you've done all that.........??
And if your T is right, a good start might be to try to distance yourself a little, if you can, from other people's problems/emotions to give you a little more space to try and manage yours a little better. Just thinking...........maybe with your own emotions some grounding techniques or mindfulness exercises might help a little??????
