Does anyone out there think that feeling too deeply for a person (in whatever capacity) can be a burden in a way? An older friend of ours is not doing well and I am literally sick over it. Yes, worried sick. This person is very dear to us, like a surrogate dad. He is nicer to me and I feel closer to him than I ever felt with my own father. Anyway..it is killing me. I don't have the anxiety troubles that some people here do, but I can't concentrate, I am cleaning the house like a mad woman, and I cannot sleep.
