Empathy for Addicts

I am an Empath who experiences Emotional Oneness and intellectual Empathy. My ex-husband is an alcoholic who was sober suring our 5 year marriage. Since we got divorced 4 years ago he started drinking again and got a DUI. I cut off communication when we got divorced. Now the police called me asking about white collar crime related to him. Being an Empath I am feeling really bad. I think he is doing bad things because he's using because he has a disease. But it's like I'm feeling his pain long…Continue

Does the job/career that we do would have to relate to ourselves for being an Empath, or could be a completely different thing?

Although I have the option now, whether to further study for a Master's Degree or to look for a job...but subconsciously I am more driven to get a job instead of studying.A few days ago, I had a dream of a hand pulling my t-shirt and then my leg from my back, and I was too afraid to turn around and see who was doing it. I ignored that dream because it was 1:30 a.m. in the morning and went back to sleep. In short, I didn't know that the dream was about two job invitations which if I accepted…Continue

How do you ground yourself?

Started by indigovirgo in The Empath Life. Last reply by Dmharvey99@yahoo.com 16 hours ago. 5 Replies 1 Like

Especially when you are feeling vulnerable and somewhat out of control.... I am looking for any advice anyone may have on different ways to ground themselves.  I currently use epsom salt soaks, crystals occasionally, positive self talk, time alone, and am beginning to do yoga around 3 days a week.  I have found the yoga to be extremely helpful so far.    Looking for any books or ideas as to how other people ground themselves.  I find it extremely challenging on a regular basis to sit in…Continue

Mirroring Vs. Empath

Hey everyone I hope we all are well. This post is definitely aimed towards the fellow INFJs here but everyone is welcome to share thought or opinions too. Thanks to another user on this site I've been able to self explore after finding out I was also an INFJ, but after doing a lot o research I've realized I barely know myself because I mirror what everyone wants to see, which can definitely feel like empathy, especially because it can help people be happier.To understand the difference, people…Continue

Sharing Is Caring

I want to share something. For the past 7 months I have been in constant pain. I have been to several doctor, had multiple tests (blood work, CT, MRI, etc.) which have all come back normal. The doctors are stumped as to what is causing this pain (it is in my abdomen, along the right side, running from liver to pelvic region) and are considering exploratory surgery. I am sharing this, not for sympathy, but because I want to have a frank discussion about depression. I thought I knew depression,…Continue

I am in need of some advice, as I can't seem to look at this objectively.My latest relationship is on the skids and I think it's only a matter of time before it's officially over.  This one going for not quite 3 years.  Although, this relationship has been anything but conventional.We are on a break for a couple of weeks and all I seem to feel now is empty.  Whenever I start talking about this I tear up and start wondering what the hell is wrong with me?  What is it about me that seems to make…Continue

Empathic sensitivity to earth locations and their energies.

Started by Fiddlehead in The Empath Life. Last reply by pndrake yesterday. 19 Replies 2 Likes

I realize this sounds a bit weird, but are we empaths usually more sensitive to earth energies weather positive or negative? Even in my home or workplace It's a big part of how I ground myself...I'm trying to understand why and maybe I'm not the only empath this sensitive to ( mostly positive) earth energy. For example...some very remote places with interesting geography and geology such as deserts,coastal regions,oceans,Mountain regions, and for me especially forested areas...I get the most…Continue

As an Empaths, I fall somewhere in the middle

Started by Rene' in The Empath Life. Last reply by Rene' yesterday. 9 Replies 2 Likes

I have been on this forum for a while now and I have to say I love you all. I have learned so much and felt so much love in the messages you post to one another. You are surly in the light of love. I also love for my mind to be challenged by those with ideas I have never thought of. Some of you have light that shines so bright and always on a high vibration , I think to my self, "I want what she's having" I want that positive state of mind but I'm still fighting monsters in the dark. Not that…Continue
