I'm not sure anyone can help me, but it has been a very rough couple
of days and I need to share what has happened.
I've suspected for quite some time that I am an empath, but is it possible
to be affected by the feelings of people who are not physically in my
presence??
Here is what happened: For the past couple of days, I have been feeling
nauseous, worried, a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach, constant anxiety
and fearfulness, feelings of dread and impending doom. I just knew something
bad was going to happen, or was in the process of happening, but I had no
real basis for these fears. Today, I found out one of my neighbors had to
admit their 8-year-old son to a psychiatric facility for psychotic behavior (need
to keep the details private but, trust me, they are horrible). And another
neighbor has been suddenly diagnosed with a brain tumor, and has only been
given months to live. After I found these things out, the feelings of sickness
and anxiety have started to lessen.
So...is it possible to get crushed and sandwiched in by the emotions of my
neighbors, even though they are not physically with me? If so, are the "usual"
methods of self-protection effective for instances like that? I was scared by
how powerless I felt, not knowing which direction the energy was coming from.
I would welcome any suggestions, or even a virtual hug would be nice. I am
exhausted, and need to know I am not crazy...
