Empathic exhaustion is like... a thing and I can get it when I'm around too many shifting emotions, be they environmental or interpersonal. I need to remember this more, along with the fact that my ADD often has me focusing on a lot of different such spaces over the course of the day and it's easy for my mood to wane as a result n.n'
not really anything anyone can do, honestly

@Oneironott huh. you're the first person i've heard of who also experiences empathetic exhaustion when others are just doing awful :(

i don't have much advice but i can totally empathize with it being a really unfortunate position on all sides.
