What Causes Depression While Seeing Children In Pain Or Hardship?

for some reason, i just can't stand to see any child in any kind of pain, or distress, or hardship, it always breaks my heart, and i end up breaking down, crying, and getting depressed for a while after seeing it. It does not matter if it is in real life, or on Tv, or in a book am reading, and it does not matter the number of times i see that in a day, it always the same reaction. I am worried there maybe something wrong with me, is there?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I understand your condition. You are a noble person. Always sympathetic. But your sympathy is a bit more towards children. That is the reason why you are unable to tolerate hardships on them.

Most of the women are like this, they are sympathetic to children. But you are more and that is the problem for the time being. You had not mentioned your age and sex. In any case, you shall see so many happenings in your life and one day you shall not worry about your present problem. Time is a great healer and wait, your time also shall come, till then don't worry about this. This is not a mental disorder. For sure.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
