speaking of sensitivity these days, I have a question to pose I hope someone can shed light on.
Recently, whenever i hear of a good bachur who was nichshol in arayos with another woman, or a girl from a very frum family who engages in inappropriate acts with guys, if i know the guy/girl or family, i’ve gotten a pretty big panic attack thats lasts for a few days. I can’t place it. It’s not logical. Just regesh. i dont have such a strong reaction if i hear of a friend who A) already chose this path and gave up on the fight with the yetzer hara. B) in other aveiros it doesnt strike me- for example, if i had heard a friend started to do avoda zara, i’d be shocked, but i wouldnt have a panic attack. C) bitul zman, haschatat zerah, also not a strong reaction.
Just good guys tryiing to fight the battle, and lose, with another person gives me this feeling. It’d be normal if it lasted for 10 minutes, but I’m scared that it can lasts for days. and that i can care so strongly about something so indirect to me.
Does anyone have any advice or does anyone know of anyone who has experienced anything similar to this? thanks.
