Hyper-empathy hurts

I suffer a lot when people around me are anxious, also when I realize that someone I love is lonely, getting old, loosing sharpness of mind... When my loved ones have an important event, like a test or a presentation, or when a project they are highly invested in is coming to a closure that can be definitive of its failure or success, I feel so nervous, and feel so much pressure wishing that all is good, that sometimes it feels like it is just too much for me! I get hyper-stimulated, hyper anxious... Anyone with similar feelings around here? And how do you cope with that?
