I'll be blunt. You'll need to find a balance between your desire to help/fix others (and share their pain) and your own physical and mental well being. That balance point you'll have to figure out for yourself. I don't think you've found it yet.

Well, that's what I'm aiming for. I know what my goal is, but I want a strategy. I'm thinking maybe if I learn the science behind it, I can use the knowledge to help myself. Heh makes sense to me.
It does make sense, and it can help, I think. For one thing, you might realize you arent odd, crazy, or "overly emotional". You probably just have an abundance of mirror neorons and a very active amygdala. You can limit your unnecessary exposure. If your job exposes you a great deal, you can tell yourself that you are mirroring what others experience, and it can help detatch you.
Good luck on your learning endeavor.
