The world feels really heavy right now, and if you're an empath or a highly sensitive person, you're probably feeling it even more. There's so much going on—big political changes, international conflicts, economic struggles—and it can be overwhelming to process it all. You might feel a deep sense of injustice, like something is just wrong, but you don’t know how to fix it. Maybe you feel guilty for being safe while others are struggling, or maybe you're avoiding the news altogether because it’s just too much. This is called empathy overload, and it can leave you feeling drained, powerless, or even numb.

The good news? You don’t have to carry the weight of the world alone. Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it actually helps you show up better for others. Setting boundaries, limiting your news intake, and surrounding yourself with supportive people can help you recharge. And when you’re ready, you can turn your empathy into action. Even small things—like being kind to a neighbor, supporting a cause you believe in, or following uplifting content—can make a real difference. You don’t have to fix everything, but you can do something. And that something matters.
