Do You Absorb Other People's Pain?

Judith Orloff MD discusses what it's like to be a physical empath and how to stop absorbing other people's pain. More information in her books "Thriving as an Empath" and "The Empath's Survival Guide." www.drjudithorloff.com

Once I went to a writers room and I was bombarded with ideas/stories that were not mine. Also, I have 5 major incidences in groups/gathering where I'm crying and saying I don't know why i am crying, these are not my tears. So now I stay happy in a group and absorb happiness.

Yes I do especially when I go to the hospital to see my doctor or when I go to my office of my psychiatrist and therapist most places are extremely toxic to me and I usually come out with more problems than when I go in including grocery store and he plays public really gets me

I am not as much a Empath as I use to be I be beaten by people that yell at me for to many years. But I do still take on other people's feelings. I did read the book the Empath's Survivalist Guide and now I am going to read that book again.

Even when I state my boundaries and needs with my husband they r never accommodated or even given a second thought by my husband I believe that he loves me but I don’t feel that he truly knows and/or understands what “love” really is. Very hurtful and frustrating so I have unintentionally cut myself off from my husband. I think that my heart has been hurt for so long about the same issues that it cut itself off from him entirely so it won’t be hurt anymore.

I am an extreme empath. I am so tired I just want to end it. All of my relationships fail. I have had it.

For the past 4 years i believe i have overloaded my emotional capacity thru empathy and also i believe i have some kind of extrasensory perception making me worry about everything and everyone except me therefore i feel left behind in life.That creates a fog like obstacle of not knowing what to do in life and always feeling down.is this an outcome of empathy?can empathy make u feel like that?
