If you are an empath.... and anxiety/depression

I’m trying to find the words to describe how affected I’ve been in the last couple of weeks.

Everything...the absorbing, the feeling, the inability to process, filter, extenuate has all been so incredibly high. There was one point where I looked into whether or not a full moon was drawing near because I felt that outside of myself. (When I searched for that answer, the full moon was in fact the next night.) Yesterday after lunch I completely crashed with little warning. I hadn’t felt that consumed by tiredness in some time, and that’s coming from someone who suffers from insomnia. I rested, legit rested and woke up feeling like a reset had come. Just like that, things started to make more sense to me and I could think more clearly. Moments like this don’t stick around for too long so I’m not allowing myself to feel too overly confident about this shift, but I am soaking it up and enjoying peace being there more than it has been.

If any of this sounds familiar, try to find time to rest from the world and even yourself because the mind can be just as draining as outside forces that don’t know which end is up. Probably more so because our mind is something we can’t escape. We can help direct its energy though with enough light, love, and/or peaceful breaks from taking so much in.
