[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 722862, member: 1233"] It is okay to feel like you cannot empathize or sympathize with anyone. : 'Your "pathize" is all used up right now' is how a lady in my AlAnon group used to put it. It doesn't last forever, I promise. It just means that you are going through a lot and you have to give yourself time to process and work it all out. No matter how wonderful you are (and you ARE wonderful!!!), sometimes the situation is just too much! It swamps you and you need some time before you can respond to anything else the way you normally would. That is perfectly normal and okay. It means you are working and your systems are processing everything the way they should. If they were handling everything without a hitch, something in you would be absolutely, terrifyingly wrong. This situation is just way too much for anyone to process without needing some extra time and help. Take the time and space and let your systems handle them as they need to. Trust your body and brain to handle this stuff. They are smarter than you think they are. (((((hugs))))) [/QUOTE]
