It’s just wearing. And honestly he reminds me of me in the way he talks and what he shares with me about his thoughts and feelings. I remember feeling all those things at one point or another very vividly and he could be triggering my memories of those horrible times in my life.

That's very insightful. You got through those times though and you've grown into such a beautiful hearted person. I imagine perhaps there might be something from your personal experience that can really help this boy at some point. Triggers suck, but we can also see them like alarm clocks just letting us know to pay attention. Maybe that's all this is, an alert to let you know there's something in him like you. If that's true he could also overcome it one day.
I don't want to discount what you're feeling. It's very real. Perhaps there are just alternate perspectives to blend in that help things feel a bit less alarming.
I hope today is better for you.
