I'm Not Sure If These Experiences Are Just Empathetic?

    Okay. So, a suggestion to you. Note the days that you are extra edgy. I have this too and mine come with full moons. Two, you need to learn control over your empathy. I ground and shield. This is helpful to ground yourself to the earth and regain some energy. Shielding will help you block energy and help to decipher if these feelings or yours or others.

    Now, what struck my fancy is about the hospital. I work in healthcare.... I'm wondering if you are possibly a healer. I discovered that I was through working I'm healthcare.... Maybe you should try and figure out if you are a natural healer.... Just a suggestion. Let me know if you want to discuss this more. Just PM me if you wish.

      I've had some time to think about these experiences plus i'm kinda sure what my normal emotions are but hard to decipher, because I feel it constantly and I thought it was my own emotions in the past.
      Other then that I haven't looked to much into empath healers kinda read about them, but I though that was psychical empathy though?

    i know what your talking about. I have no information to help, but there have been times when i felt like i had been drinking. Even wake up with a hangover. And all i would be drinking is coffee. Its a crazy weird experience of course i'd joke about it. And people close enough to me that know these things about me, have gotten used to me being "weird" its so hard to define if they are really you or not. But i've noticed this was going on a lot longer than i noticed. I just noticed it almost 3 years ago. All i can offer is that you do get used to it. As far as shutting it out, i'm clueless. Maybe you can narrow down who is giving off those feelings and talk to them.

      I completely understand what your saying but when it comes to talking to people I do talk to them and it does help them with whatever situation their in. To add on to it I guess i tune into their emotions unconsciously because I can either walk into a room where they are and i'll automatically ask "What's wrong?" or "Are you ok you seem a little mad, sad, etc." But for me i really didn't pay attention to it as much until recently because of how weird I've been acting and i know part of that isn't entirely me. Thanks for the response, and how did it actually take you to get yours under control?

      I'm not so sure I have mine under control. :) I like to think I do sometimes....I just remind myself that I'm ok...that I'm not angry, or sad or anything that life is ok and nothing to complain about...so it must be someone around me..take deep breaths and begin figuring out who...sometimes, they don't even have to be close. There is someone that I feel that is miles and miles away....She is usually the last person I think it is...I end up calling her and venting, and wa-la...I find the source...I'll tell her what I'm feeling and she'll say something like me too....I'll let her unload and then we both feel better.
      It takes a lot to get me angry. but have noticed my temper is short here lately....I get aggravated because people don't understand, or don't seem to care you know? And then theres always those that don't believe...I didn't pay attention to mine until life changed and extemely weird unbelievable things happened...I can't talk about those because I know it's real and it happened, but I can understand why no one would believe me.

      Strangely enough there was a time recently when i was talking to my best friend over the phone and we where both experiencing the same thing in the exact same order but just like your friend he's miles and miles away as well I guess that counts to.
      Do you know if being empathetic you might have the ability to tune into someones deep emotions or aura when your by them, cause recently there was a guy in a class I took during the summer semester college and I don't know what it is but there's something about him that I don't like but I've never even held a conversation with the guy at all.

      I really don't know much about being empathetic...I just know what I experience...I haven't read the description of that title, so if it fits.....but, I have experienced what your talking about...like you want absolutely nothing to do with them, but can't tell them, or yourself why....I always chalked that up to just having the inner gut feeling that maybe you two would be like oil and water. Once in a while, by no help from me, those people still tend to enter my space and I'll be biting my tongue and holding my legs from running away, make myself listen to them because i don't want to be rude, you know....but they end up being friends....I'll still be trying to convince myself that it's me, that I'm having some sort of problem accepting them and I cant figure out why...well, not very many times have i regretted staying away when i got that feeling, but so many times i've regretted not listening to my gut. So, keep whoever it is at arms length....you don't have to be rude, just don't let your wall break to easily....On the other hand, I've also came across people that i had no problems being around and they've ended up hurting me just the same....I wouldn't see it coming....I suppose it's just best to keep everyone at arms length, until you can get a good read on them to know whether or not they are good people or not.

      Thanks for the insight i'm sure i'll end up finding all that i need to in the future. And I've done a bit of research on empaths before i came to this site and right now I mainly need to talk to other people about their experiences before I can slap a label on anything.

      That's me...I don't like labels....I guess that's why I never researched empaths. Good luck :)
