Hi, I just joined and I need help
Quote from Hirochi on 20 June 2023, 00:05So I grew up with abilities and both my parents had abilities, but I have my own unique challenges, though I would say i take after my mom the most, we were always close and she was a strong empath, my dad could hear ghosts and feel their presence and once showed potential for telepathy, which he squashed because it scared him, we don't get along, he's a drunk who drinks so he can't feel the world around him, saying we don't get along is an understatement.
Getting back to topic I've never heard of anybody or seen anybody with empathy as strong as I have, I've just been fumbling my way through my whole life so there's probably things to do to protect myself that I don't know about, but just as an example, I've caught mental illnesses from the people around me before, I caught dementia, nothing has ever been scarier in my life, I don't recommend it.
I feel a strong calling to help people, and while I want to do that, people are hard for me to deal with, if I have a moment of weakness I have to just isolate myself because I'll get overwhelmed by all the people around me just feeling what they feel, it wasn't a problem before, I found my balance and I could do my thing no matter what came at me, but my mom died on May 29th and ever since I just can't do anything properly and it's really messing me up.
My need to help people without having to really deal with them led me to develop a shelter of sorts for abused and confused spirits, I've learned a lot and helped a lot of people, but now that I'm not feeling myself I'm finding myself suddenly overwhelmed by too many people being around and I don't know what to do, there's I'd guess around a hundred people here all the time and it's become hard to keep balance in myself.
My mom encouraged me to reach out and get help because I don't know what to do anymore, so I went looking and found this so here I am and I hope someone can help me.

Grief is a horrendous thing to go through so for now I would just concentrate on making yourself strong again rather than helping others.
If you can just learn how to ground and protect that is a start. It takes a lot to learn how to turn off emapthy. If you are still here i will watch this thread and we can walk through some steps that may help.x
