Conflicting emotions

There are times where I just feel empathetic and/or sympathetic to other people who are going through bad times. I do my best to feel their pain in order to get a better understanding of their situations. There are also times where I couldn't help myself in my own bad times and feel dependent on others. These emotions go in a conflict and implode in a very bad way. I would just go on about this for hours and I would end up sleeping at dawn.
