Am I an Empath?

Lately, lots of thoughts have been swirling in my mind.
There was an attempt to analyze my life and understand why the hell am I so fucked up,
I mean I feel like my mind is literally breaking to pieces.
Recently, I've figured out that I might be an Empath, I've been absorbing all of the emotions of people close and not that close, and I was drowning in their misery and slowly is also became my misery.
