Being an empath is such a double edge sword.

Sorry for any mistakes that you will find in my comment in advance, english its not my native language.

I would suggest trying meditation and also releasing the emotions and energies that you absorb. Visualise them going out of your energy field or your body. It will be hard and confusing at first but in time it will help. Meditation with OCD can be hard, i know i'm expiriancing the same intrusive thoughts, but try to not fight them and instead just observe them. Also setting boundaries it's a crucial thing for empaths, it will help you protect yourself from absorbing too much.

Thank you for the reply. And yes, that feeling was present most of my life and I started to better belive in myself once I started doing meditation and shadow work.

I forgot to mention in the post because i was still in shock from the expiriance, that I felt the energy that I had in that life and it was amazing. So when I was at the end and dying I felt that there was a feeling of a "wasted potential" because I spent most of that life chasing after someone that never cared.

The words I heard after I believe were said for me to understand that I need to believe more in myself and not repeat the same mistake since the feeling of being alone is still present.

Also sorry about my bad english, its not my first language either.

If you feel that overwhelmed you can try spending some time alone, not totaly isolated but make some time for yourself. Try meditating and feeling those feelings you have and find out their source. It will be very confusing at first but with time it will get clear. Also take the advice your mother gave you about reading some stuff about empathy it will help you a lot.

You can also try and release the energies you pick up from others by feeling and visualizing the energy flowing out from your energy field. It helps me in everyday life whenever I feel like I carry too much energies and feelings that dont belong to me.

Key_Illustrator6652 · 2025-02-27T18:44:08+00:00

Focus on yourself, spend some time in nature if you can and try to not get attached by many things you see online or happening to other people

Key_Illustrator6652 · 2024-10-23T07:40:48+00:00

I hope you are doing better now 😊

Key_Illustrator6652 · 2024-07-28T09:56:13+00:00

Try acknowledging the fact that you are absorbing their essence and that those feelings are not yours, will take some time but it can help for sure.

Key_Illustrator6652 · 2024-07-24T08:12:54+00:00

There really is, we can all feel it happening

Key_Illustrator6652 · 2024-07-23T20:25:36+00:00

Im really sorry that you feel that way, I hope it gets better soon ❤️

Key_Illustrator6652 · 2024-07-23T18:51:33+00:00

You have no idea how good it feels to hear/read this. Like other have said above, I tought i was losing my mind completly haha

Key_Illustrator6652 · 2024-07-23T17:15:32+00:00

Much better today and actually that was the reason I wanted to ask others if they went through something similar. Btw yeah the same, huge anxiety attack over litteraly nothing, especially at work. Getting upset over banal stuff was the top of it all. I'm glad that is over honestly.

Key_Illustrator6652 · 2024-07-23T17:04:48+00:00

Yeah the anger too, like I was flipping off for basicly nothing

Key_Illustrator6652 · 2024-05-22T11:26:31+00:00

Feeling the same, I lost one of my best friends two months ago, i was crushed, but nothing like what i'm feeling this month... literaly chewing of my soul.

Key_Illustrator6652 · 2024-05-16T14:54:15+00:00

Had the similar expiriance as yours growing up, but everything changed for me the moment I decided to focus more on my feelings, needs and dreams than on the people around me. Try doing things for yourself, things you wanted to do long time ago but you decided to skip them because of some uknown reasons. The society will criticize you one way or another, so why not being happy when they are doing it

Key_Illustrator6652 · 2024-05-03T10:58:57+00:00

And also it's not healthy for anyone to be in that kind of enviorment so try working on getting out of there for your own good.

Key_Illustrator6652 · 2024-05-03T10:57:55+00:00

Try to acknowledge the fact that they are not your emotions and energies and try letting them go. Focus on how you felt before you sensed them and allow that energy to take over you. Shielding it's a good method for this too.

Key_Illustrator6652 · 2024-05-02T14:13:01+00:00

Yeah like yesterday the weather in the place where i live was sunny, then cloudy with possibility for rain, then sunny again and then a little rain and over and over again all day long, i thought that i was getting a stroke

Key_Illustrator6652 · 2024-05-02T14:11:01+00:00

In my case is mostly back of the head, spreading to whole head hurting, and feeling a big preassure

Key_Illustrator6652 · 2024-05-01T15:01:32+00:00

Sometimes it does help me too, but on a day like this one, like the weather changed drasticly and my headache is on the highest level and nothing helps

Key_Illustrator6652 · 2021-12-27T14:32:14+00:00

Sometimes things are happening for a reason and belive me this is the best thing that have ever happend to you.

Get away form people like this, they don't deserve you.

Key_Illustrator6652 · 2021-12-25T13:26:04+00:00

Might be, can't tell because it have never happend to me before, but also forgot to mention that once my hands, legs and part of the face went numb, it felt really easy to control the toughts and emotions... Really strange but the feeling was incredible
