Well, you're not alone. A lot of YT'ers seem to not be able to handle the threads in this section. I couldn't sit here and read it all day. Honestly, for me this section represents depression and sadness. I know it's about how to help animals in these situations, but what's really being done to help? Signing petitions online is of very questionable value. Donating money is great, but it may or may not go where it needs to go.
I really want to be able to tell you how to deal with all of this, but it's impossible. For me it's a state of mind - I have to detach somewhat from things or there is no way I could do what I do. I don't think that's possible for everybody. And yes, it may have something to do with boundaries. There will always be some that you think and think about, worry about, maybe cry about, but in the end it's just not healthy to have an emotional flood about every one of them.
But again I say, these abuse/neglect threads get to me sometimes too, esp. if animal is still with idiot owner. And posts on CL giving innocent dogs to whoever calls first really make me mad (and upset for the dog/cat).
