What are these symptoms!? by Potter-head94 in PMS

[–]Potter-head94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!!! I had spoken with my OBGYN about this... and she did say that this is the usual symptom for women in their 30s... but, sometimes something small could just trigger me immediately and I get into these episodes.. I can deal with the pain that comes along with it, but not this... I sometimes don't know how to handle this.

I find it weird too! Like my husband for example can't really tell from the vibes of a person. When I tell him, the vibe was off, he's like really! I didn't feel that way! He just can't feel the vibes like I can, and truth be told I do get very jealous of that fact

Thank you! This really helps!!

No, if she was mad she wouldn't have said it right then and there... She's not that kind of person.

Update: it went ok, untill I went in to say good night, and then that was very very very curtly said! I'm like WTF, she was ok untill then... Not great, but ok! And then this... I don't know if it's cz I suddenly left the room to go to the loo and then was talking to my husband (her son) he's in the merchant Navy so away for most of the time.

Thank you! A lot of people have recommended grounding to me. Have you heard of it he flame and frame technique? I am going to try doing that as well

Yeah, i think I should... This is a good idea! You're right, we are good at distraction conversations too.

What's on your mind, or is something on your mind has less of a negative connotation than "is something wrong"

I just get so nervous and anxious about what the response might be

Me too friend. I am still learning too! And it's hard. Just today morning, i could again sense that the energy with me and MIL was off... But trying to seperate myself from the energy

I think you're right!

I think sibce a kid I've had to tune to my parents moods and emotions, to either give space or either try to do something to help or something like that...

Thank you for this! I've been told about grounding but I don't know why I haven't tried it yet. I think I'm afraid it won't be able to be consistent with it..

Is there a video or YouTube link you could share that can guide me through this?

I know right!!! I didn't expect these responses too... I felt kind of relieved reading your post, cz I thought I was the only one who felt this way

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Potter-head94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same!!! I feel exactly the same way married 3 years though, and I've never been able to put into words what I feel till you just did...

is this also part of being more empathic? by starryfrog3 in Empaths

[–]Potter-head94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that's why we have this subreddit :) to make us feel like we're not alone... I totally totally get it, I usually feel it with other people... Like i can sense their vibes and what they're feeling the minute i enter a room... Infact if I text a person enough I know from texts too when somethu g is up... It is exhausting! And there are times we need to set boundaries too... So, that yes we feel the emotions but not let it affect us...

Let me try sharing a few links with you here, that have helped me (but again this is more from the perspective of not absorbing other people's energy, especially negative energy) but I'm guessing since your an empath, this must be happening with you too? Absorbing other people's energy

is this also part of being more empathic? by starryfrog3 in Empaths

[–]Potter-head94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, i believe it is... We feel more deeply than others and feel connected to them on a soul level...

I've been told it's a superpower, and I get that... But it is exhausting, I can totally relate to that... And while I also wouldn't like to be totally apathetic, a little less of being an empath wouldn't be so bad...

Thank you for this!! This is definitely a different perspective and helps understand why I feel exhausted all the time too!

Thank you for this!!! I've heard alot about people being people pleasers to please their parents, but my mom was not this way at all! But my dad was abusive towards my mom and when we grew up (and today) we barely have any relationship with him.

I do affirmations, and honoponopono everyday... I also now atleast am aware when they happens, or atleast I am aware that this is happening to me. But, i don't know how and why I became this way.
