Do you think it's possible to feel the physical pain of those who are close to you? Because for as long as i could remember, i've done something like this. I could be talking to my mom over the phone and just be like "damn my hands hurt" and then she'd tell me her arthritus was really bad that day or summin like that. This week my brother's ulcers have been actin up and my stomoch hurts so much i can hardly eat. Also, my bf gets terrible head-aches due to pressure on his brain, and lately my head has hurt so much i just want to stick it under my back tire and throw my car into reverse. What do you think?
The last thing you need is to be commited, you are not a danger to yourself or others. You are an empath. I've known a few others like you in fact my pardner is one. She says you need to learn to block these feelings. Not to ignore them, but when you know they're not you tell yourself 'it's not me feeling this and block it out. This may take some work , but it can be done. Eventually you should be able to use this talent as a valuable tool in healing others if you're so inclined. You will be able to use it to determine where the problem lies and then direct healing energies and therapies to where they're needed most. Good Luck!
That's good to know - that im not nuts! And i know what you mean about using it as a valuable tool ... i give a lot of massages and i love doing it because i can actually feel what the person wants and where they're sore ... etc. It leaves my friends very happy and refreshed! Thanks for the advice!
lots of ppl have sympathy pains. I stayed over at a friends house quite a few years back and she had a broken arm. We were sleeping in the same bed and I could hardly sleep because my arm hurt so bad. It was the same arm that she broke.
