I Am An Empath

Does the questioning of sanity ever stop with this gift/curse.

there is always more to this, and I try hard to unravel the mystery but thus far I'm only left with a mess of knotted thread. it seemed simpler before I was caught up in this tangled mess, yet I cant stop pulling.

Does the question of sanity ever stop for anyone? Crazy is relative.

correct, but as conceded as it sounds (in its own fucked up way) I feel my mind is going above and beyond.

...the threshold of sanity? It's a grey area. I mean, if you are losing it that's nothing to brag about. Relax and enjoy the party. It's interesting.

Yes and No, the ride "party" can be fun, until you find out your heading for a cliff. it's that uncertainty that is causing the paranoia. running through a hall of mirrors blindfolded.

I'm just sayin' join the club. There's my back asswards way of saying, "You're not alone."

I totally get it. It can be terrifying. I had to start blocking people out for a bit because I became so overwhelmed. Your sensitivity is definitely growing. It seems you have a knack for picking up the negative especially. The madness starts when you stop being able to distinguish which feelings and thoughts are yours and which are theirs....there is also the extreme draining factor....You are incredibly strong to have dealt so well for so long
