I do not think for one minute I have a mental somatic disorder . Since childhood I knew I was different , I had a variety of spritual experiences that I was to young to understand My. Mother knew something to and made it simple by saying I needed alot of love . My brother , was in amazment when he saw me do things I had not been taught , how did she know how to do that he would say . 2-3 years of age I had not suffered any known trauma. I have turned 62 in April , for all these years I have called it my gift . Finally there is a word I can put with it .Empath , it is like a huge puzzle in the air and all these pieces are falling in perfect place . What makes it so perfect is my true life experiences , what I have felt , and seen and known , without trying , effortless and totally natural to me . But very different from anyone else I know . I have been told I have healing hands I am a healer , I have some kind of powers , how did I know that or what that person was going to say . I have no idea how it happens so fast it comes from inside me , a very strong energy is all I know .I have had so many unexplainable experiences I can’t put everything here , most are beautiful , some sad and some very scary , I hope to write about them one day , all of it was real and I want to share it .what is going on now is very real to to discover I may be an Empath . I have said for years my kind heart will be the death of me . It will be one year this month almost to the day if this discovery my stomach exploded with a bleeding ulcer I almost died . I was in Utah , I went there to see my best friends family , she had passed away a year prior , her and I were friends for 54 years. Not only could I feel her family’s pain but what she went through and what caused her passing . It was unbearable for me . So now I have to find out what to do to protect myself , so that my kind heart isn’t the death of me . And go forward with a new perspective of what my gift is .
What are you selling people here? Awakening has nothing to do with the mythological Empath. Awakening is a change in mindset that keeps one peaceful and free of fear. True masters are Awakened individuals — not those who carry fears associated with the beings you describe as Empath.
Empath is a mislabel for those suffering from pathological emotional distress, which makes one highly aware and highly sensitive, but not necessarily intuitive or psychic. That’s a completely different quality.
No one is born Empath. They may be empathic and compassionate, but that too is separate from the symptoms of pathological emotional distress, which all who claim to be Empath describe as some specialness about them. The Universe would never curse a human to suffer through the negative qualities people assign to their “spiritual gift of Empath.” It just doesn’t exist.
If anything it’s PTSD or C- PTSD thats gone untreated. In that case, it can cause physical, mental or somatic disorders.
Hello
I am new here and was reading previous post and have some of the same feelings and thoughts. I didn’t really know who to share it with. I actually have reads few people over the years and they ask me how was I am to read them. And I basically say it’s what I feel from you. Are there meetings in person for empaths? Or a active community?
I’m a complete and utter empath. People seek me to heal them all the time. Most days I’m exhausted even after just a trip to the grocery store. I’ve tried exploring and being more aware, but after meditation with binaural beats I have floods of memories. Or memory triggers. Like memories I haven’t thought about since they happened decades ago. I pull away from people and have pretty much cut ties with everyone but my husband and kids. People genuinely drain me. I feel it in my soul when people’s energy is bleeding mine dry. How do I control this? I’ve been like this since I can remember and it only gets stronger. Why is it feeling so scary to me? The more I seem to understand it the more it seems to control everything. There are positives, I connect with nature more. I recognize when I need to sit alone, with just silence and release bad energy. But it feels like an uphill battle. When is it going to feel like the gift it is? Sorry for the rant. Just never been able to voice this somewhere other than my own head
Marissa, you have managed to put into words the way I have been feeling for a couple of years now. Currently, everything is particularly magnified. Trying to figure it all out….daily. It’s hard. Have you found anything that helps? I know there are lots of modalities but I am so afraid of seeking out treatments with anyone who might not have MY best interest at heart or is not truly skilled in what they provide. So I just keep waiting for that “thing” that might actually bring me some relief from this daily “heaviness” I feel.
I’m not sure I’m in the right place or talking with the right people… But I’m optimistic.
I used to have my grandmother to guide me. She passed several years ago and passed a lot onto me when she did, which has been a blessing and burden. I come from a long Empath and Gypsy bloodline, but often feels like no one else in my family has the gifts.
Has anyone else experienced a ‘passing’ of abilities from an elder after they die? Like an overwhelming sense of carrying your normal abilities but with a new heavier sense of also receiving theirs? And becoming almost lost again like in childhood when you were just learning about yourself?
Hello! I am new here. Omg I felt the exact way after my Mom passed! Everything has been extremely heightened for me!
I’m in the dark as to whether I am a sensitive person (I do know I am that) or impath. I have qualities of both. Seeing a therapist. In the past I couldn’t find one who had my interests at heart. So many don’t have the skills. I don’t trust them. My experience: they can ruin you. Maybe not their intent but they can ruin you..
This has helped me understand so much of why over last several years being around people in general feels overwhelming! Also without knowing why my total outlook on almost everything has changed. Ive always known when something’s not right or about to happen. And purely by chance, meeting someone recently who seemed barmy at 1st, but ended up talking to for a long time , mentioning they were an empath And saying you need to look it up without explaining what it meant I’d still be in the dark.
How can someone claim to be an empath, then shun other people that are lost. If you’ve been down your own road of self-discovery, use that knowledge to enlighten and guide lost souls.
Most empaths are too overwhelmed by emotions to make sense of where they are, let alone where they need to be.
To assume that you are of no value in another’s path to enlightenment is more arrogant than humble. Yes, we all react differently to certain things but sometimes the right words are what we need to hear in order to understand.
If everyone remains silent, what will anyone else learn?
Greg, you don’t need people like this. I’m glad you didn’t get sucked in the wrong group. We need people that are understanding and compassionate, not people that claim to be enlightened as they look down on others.
Thank you Ryan for saying that to Greg! I couldn’t agree with you more!
I was just literally told today I was an empath, but after reading some of these posts I thought “God I hope I am not an empath”. I was starting to believe I was told a very awful thing today, but you just gave me hope that it’s not a bad thing. Thank you for sharing the love with the world! 🙂 And I am sending it right back!
to those struggling with being an empath – adopt practices that bring about coherence – see the HeartMath institute for explanation and technology. Binural beats and Open Focus work can bring about brain coherence, chakra balancing, flower essences and homeopathy, the Feldenkrais method, the LIFE biofeedback method and other forms of energy healing, meditation, conscious breathing. Check out Dr. Sue Morter for embodied energy practices. Lots of processes. Key word – coherence
from the tips of my toes to my knees my womanhood my heart my mind and my eyes are open. PUSH
Thank you for the guidance and words of encouragement, much appreciated, Greg
Greg,
I agree 100% with what the others have said. But I’d like to elaborate why I feel that way. I’m 40 years old and just found out I’m an empath. I sufferred from a life of depression and drug abuse but what I went through was necessary to find myself. I’m embarrassed it took 40 years but better late than never. Only in my desperation and living on the brink of death was I able to stop drinking and drugs. Once that was done I began to rebuild myself. Some cognitive behavior therapy was needed because my view of myself was damaged and I was perpetuating core values that were destructive to my mental health. So, I reassigned values and began rebuilding myself. In loosing all hope I found freedom. Freedom to be find my authentic self with no inhibitions and nothing to loose.
Now and only now I feel like I can be a whole and balanced person. Now that I’m balanced I can give back. Here’s a poem about marriage I like:
Marriage is not a ritual or an end
It is a long, intricate & intimate dance together
and nothing matters more than your own sense of balance
and your choice of partner.
-Amy Bloom
Good luck Greg!
Well, this is starting to get real crazy. I just turned 40 in September and I have an extremely similar path…only I did the “cleanup” before knowing that I am an empath. I just figured this out a couple of days ago, and my head is exploding with so many explanations, and so many things making sense now. It is extremely overwhelming.
I just had to stop and say hi, as I was reading this post, it was as if I had written it. Kind of a strange feeling knowing what you are and that you’re not alone.
Thank you so much for sharing your story.
-José Luis
Hello my name is Walt…Since my near death experience became misdiagnosis of bi polar and wrongful termination of my career as a paramedic and firefighter back in 2018 and th3 ongoing authentic metaphysical spiritual awakening began and now trying find support around all the ongoing empath energy issues and dishonest or misleading spiritual people around as I am still in early stages of becoming a reiki master and I also a large amount of traumas like driving over large rivers some bridges or anything thriving heavy population like I the inner downtown st Louis city area and my desires to alive on th3 other side of the Missouri River has me emotional and empath scared beyond words unless I use a cbd capsules or gummy and my having ptsd and financial devastation had left very difficult position and very limited support network
Hi Greg…do not despair. The removal response may have seemed a bit drastic but I think this is a time and place to seek only SELF awareness without attempting to mask your loneliness with someone else. Keep looking in the mirror. Face that which you are afraid of and go THROUGH IT. That can only be done by each of us ALONE There is no one right answer except your own. PEACE
Hi Greg…do not despair. The removal response may have seemed a bit drastic but I think this is a time and place to seek only SELF awareness without attempting to mask your loneliness with someone else. I think you put the cart before the horse, and/or are here for the wrong reasons at this time. Keep looking in the mirror. Face that which you are afraid of and go THROUGH IT. That can only be done by each of us ALONE. Perhaps try again here later? Or srsly go find a quality dating site if that’s what you truly desire. There is no one right answer except your own. PEACE
Just realizing in the last year, why I’m so drawn to people and feel their emotions! Ive been finally able to label it as as a very Empathetic person. I’ve always had this gift, but never knowing it! I’ve always felt different!! It really started to affect me 8 years ago when I had a break down and went thru depression!! I felt things 100x more than the average person and no one could explain it to me! I thought it was depression but I’ve come to realize it was the beginning of a journey and now it all makes sense!! I don’t even know where to start to understand and embrace this gift!! I’m not the normal empath from what I’ve been researching! I’ve been thru so much pain and loss at an early age and my pain tolerance is very high! I can find positive in a group of people and good people in general, give me an incredible high!! I may be the different one, who doesn’t quite categorize with everyone else, but at this point I need guidance as to how I can understand this gift and make a change for the better!!! How can I be a positive influence for others and find peace within myself as well!
I have experienced great emotional physical mental, and sexual trauma in my and my threshold for pain is very high as well, my life has been so bad ive had to repress life as I go(memories, feelings,and emotions) to cope with the suicidal thoughts that started when I was at least 6. I’ve recently been unrepressing my life starting 7 months ago and really feeling what I didn’t feel, because of how strong my reppresion was. Since then my empathy has been getting overwhelming at times. Im also starting out this journey of awakening. And also am having trouble where or how to start. There are many books by empaths on empaths that I’m thinking about checking out. If you want maybe if I find something good I can recommend some to you?
I feel as if I’m from another planet. As if my mother was implanted with me during pregnancy so that I look like my family. I’m 45 but in my twenties, I would move from apartment to apartment yearly. It was so bad my family had an intervention. lol, I just never felt at home anywhere and I’m always ready to go. I read people like a book. However, I have a hard time reading infants, I guess besides sleeping, eating, playing, and crying there isn’t much left. Once they get about 4 I can read them.
I believe this gift started as a result of living in an abusive home. I was sexually abused and sold from age 4 until 9. I was continuously psychologically abused until adulthood and even beyond. I was also physically abused and I witnessed all of this happening to others. Currently, I suffer from PTSD and MS. I also lost my spouse two years ago and I’m a widow and single mother
My life may not sound great on paper but it’s made me extremely caring towards others. Unfortunately, it also makes me seem weird or like my old boss once said unorthodox. This makes me feel very lonely and isolated because no one person in my life understands. I care about EVERYTHING! I have been this way my entire life but after a seizure a few years back it’s been so much stronger. Not only do I care about everything I FEEL EVERYTHING. There are days when I can feel, sound, color, and numbers which is really weird. I have this thing with time. I can guess the time and I’m right there. I also have seen many things prior to their occurrence. I was told in a vision I’m to help other women who suffered as I did. I need guidance. I get frustrated easily when others can’t just treat each other correctly.
Hello my name is Walt. Have you ever attempted to find a empath support group? And left messages and or ask for help with after a metaphysical spiritual awakening.? And you are mislead by theft, have items stolen and never off assistance with anything else ?
My area is creating an endless supply or very difficult experience and yet to find others to continue this journey and explain and its creates more anxiety and depression and isolation.
