What's happening to me?

[MoonLyte]

In the past week or so i have found the path for me,and although i still need to get things right in my head, i feel at peace with the path i'm on.

Now, i've always been able to pick up on emotions when i let myself, and usually these emotions drag me down to depression..but now the opposite has happened.
I feel emotions..but i seem to be bursting with love.
It sounds good, and it is good but it means i want to tell everybody i love them, i want to hug people, i want people to get better emotionally and feel this love that i feel.I feel overflowing with it, and i know it's not me..it's a more spiritual love too...and i'm filling up :)

Does anybody else ever feel love like this? :boing: :boing: :boing: :boing: :boing:

It's not a bad thing..i feel really happy..and well it's just not feelings i'm used to having :lol:

That happens whenever we discover something we find that really resonates with us. It's called the "honeymoon period". Enjoy it while it lasts and try not to be too annoying to those who don't seem very spiritual at all. ;)

Sis, you are finally coming into yourself as an empath. You are also coming out of a dark period in your life. So of course you feel filled up with lovelight. As Lunacie says remember they are those who are not walking the same pathways as you and others. So just be careful. But do enjoy the feeling and try and channel it into your surrounds, by broadcasting the good feelings. Might just make someone else feel better.
:hugz:
love you sis.

Aw yes! I've been feeling like that soooooo much lately. Last year I was extremely depressed and always sad, but now I'm always happy and just love everyone. Haha good to know there's someone else out there like this =p

[Contra Mundum]

i know exactly what you mean ,been feeling it more and more lately.
enjoy it !!!

Well,I feel sometimes the same way,but I am able to tell when depression comes my way,And in my stubornness,I reject it.

I refuse to be depressed,down smetimes?Yes,Lonely?Yes,I was yesterday,I got no presents,and saw no one except my lovely cat ,and the old female stray who managed to worm her way into my life,and apartment,LOL

I felt sorry for her,because she is an aged cat,and does nothing but sleep in my apartment,and eat Tabitha,s food.

She would constantly meow in my window,how she managed to climb up between the screen and window ,I dont know.How she knew my bedroom window,Im clueless.When I come home from work,there she is,and zips into my apartment as soon as I open the door,I couldnt get rid of her,so,she is part of my family I guess.

But she stays outside while Im gone.Tabitha stays inside.

Well,You most definatly are sweet and kind too.Sometimes,I do get angry,we all need to be free to get mad from time to time.You should see me at work,LOL.I told some guy I would cast a Micheal Jackson hex on him.I was just joking,and made it up though.It seemed so funny at the time.

He was complaining to Heathenwolf and I for talking about Vikings and witches.

My feelings are like the weather,sometimes its gray,othertimes its sunny,sometimes there is lightning,and sometimes a gentle breeze.

When Im down,I turn to God real fast.When Im troubled,I do the same.

Im glad you are here Earthy.bless you.

Hey there sis!

Yes, of course I have felt this way before. There are certain people I feel that way about too. It's weird to explain but it's a very cool feeling!

[MoonLyte]

Oh yea, i do feel this way about certain people too...even some i have barely spoken to.
it is a cool feeling :)

Thanks LostSheep for the hug.
Have a :hugz: back :)

I have spent the last few hours reading I do believe nearly every post in the Empathetic Bunker. This seems to be the place to post what I have discovered. Thanks to suggestions from Dragonsinger and others I decided to come here and see if Empath was really me or no. I have read so many experiences and stories and feelings and emotions and what ifs that sound as though you are all in my head and heart telling my story. Duh hit me with a bag of rocks I think I am empathetic. Reading about the experience here of overwhelming love and wanting to share it with everyone..I have that epiphany every timie I connect with a client or resident who really need me.. Or a new friend in my life. I have to share their life , their story, & the over whelming feelinigs that rush over me. I am not sure I know my level yet, I went to that sight and read about the many levels, and looking at and studying over the levels at some point here and there I think I have fit in to one or more at the same time and all of them at some point but not really where I can say today is when I will be like that or that I feel like that everyday. I t is more like I am tht way with some people at some point and not by a choice. If that makes sense. It is also not just with people but with the inanamate and animals. It just happens. I never looked at it before as empathy but rather as sympathy or in the case of people it is usually triggered by the fact that I have experienced so much chaos in my life as far back as I can remember that I can usually say hey I have been there, or I know what you are going through, sometimes just saying its plain ole horse sense.
While looking into the levels of empathy I saw how the levels are n ot to be judged by ego or bragging rights that ha ha Im a 10 and you are not.. and that they should not be viewed as an aspiration or achievement. While I do see tht and understand that, I question how then do we achieve to hone our strength in this gift to be the highest level we are meant to be ?

Also reading in the other threads about how empathy effcts/affects people. Is it a give in to say that an empath must feel the physical pain or emotion of those around them ? If I say I can walk into a clun for instance and just hae a good time for a while and suddenly feel it is timie to go.. and find out later there was a fight or a problem there later that too is empathy is it not?
I feeltend to take charge in situations where I formally called supathized with the person I connected( now will call empathize). For instance in a home care situation where i can see that the ill person is over whelmed and fearing loss of control in their life. I take charge first of making the family know I am the boss relieving the afflicted person from having the family to fight then I say to the person what do you want to do here now its your life or death what do you want to do now.... gving them back the control and just experiencing it with them ... is this empathy?
Long winded I am..
I read where some of the other empaths here spoke about headaches.. the tight shoulders and drained feeliing is all a part of the healer in me then that is co existing with the empathy? or do I misunderstand.
Lastly ( at least for now)
Do any of you miss it if you are not using your empath abilities? I mean for me right now I am rarely outside of the house or in contact with any one but my partner and my son..( doctors and physical thereapist) I miss the little tugs here and there at my energy and heartstrings... does this happen to any one else?
