The stress your dog feels can absolutely rub off on you. Not just because you feel bad for him, but because you are trying to be responsible for him and you can't control his reactions. There are two things I would suggest. 1) see a canine behavioralist to help you work on his anxiety issues. or 2) Find him a new home and find yourself a calmer dog. It's really okay if you and this dog don't fit together. I'm not suggesting you abandon him, but maybe you aren't equipped to give him the comfort he needs right now if you are dealing with anxiety yourself?
Good luck.
