A little unnatural
You do not use both starting and gradually as "gradually" suggests that you have been feeling it already instead of just beginning to feel it as in " starting"

It could be "I'm gradually feeling the burden of her existence" or " I'm starting to feel the burden of her existence"

A little unnatural
"I'm starting to feel that her existence is gradually becoming a burden to me." I think is the best way to put it.
