Empath - need guidance. Have been struggling to shield myself. Background: PTSD from years of abuse. Healed it to 89%...but..... Made the wrong choice in jobs - it triggered my PTSD and caused additional trauma - was harassed and abused on the job. Meanwhile, one of my foster cats passed away suddenly and I couldn't function at all for a week. Job forced me to work - threatened to fire me. I worked despite emotional pain and the work abuse. I finally quit because I was nearing a breaking point. But now, my empathic shield is weak and I struggle every day just for daily chores. Neighbors' energy seeps in. Any slight sound (and they're loud - curse, stomp, slam doors) affects my stability. I am becoming so exhausted. I feel like I'm on overdrive. I know I'm the only one who can help myself, but need guidance from any empath expert out there. BTW - Empaths are real (read Dr. Orloff) - so all doubters and critics, please refrain from commenting. I'm an empath of 8 types: Earth/Physical/ Emotional/Intuitive/Dream/Plant/Animal empath.
bless you for having enough courage and energy to ask for help.
i’m an empath and never talk about it for fear of ridicule.
i hope you get some help here, because i can certainly use it too.
i’m sorry for what you’re going through.
