Empaths and coping with caronavirus outbreak

[Sheree Morris]

Hello,
I've been having a really hard time since things have gotten so out of hand with the caronavirus. I'm usually always positive, glass half full mentality, but lately not at all. Lately, I've been so stressed out and anxious to the point where I'm just walking around angry all day. Its like i can't handle all of the pain that's all over the news. I'm also going through my own personal struggles with my job. Hours and pay have been cut,and it all just feels so heavy. Just wanted to see if any of you are going through the same thing? I have nothing to relate this too.

I know it's hard. Many are going through the same thing. It's not random, though. I'm pretty sure about that. Some things are meant to occur. 

I personally believe it's a wake up call. 

These are my personal thoughts  on it.

Hi everyone!

YES! I understand you completely. I try to stay away from the news as much as possible but I have beeb having this craaaaaazy mood swings. I would wake up anxious at 8 am and by 9 am I would be angry. Then at noon completely numb and by 5 pm shattered in the floor crying. And then at 9pm happy, smiling, laughing. (That's an example. It changes everyday). But mostly I'm just super tired, angry and confused. I feel the fear and pain of the world like my own and it's overwhelming and terrifying. So I just sleep most of the day, write a lot, listen to music or read stuff in Tumblr. I'm loosing my mind, but I try to keep my head up and live day by day. 

With love,

Diana

I can relate . I’m currently considered ‘essential’ so I’m still working 40 hours a week with the Public with all of this as a dispensary technician . I can feel the collective energy so intensely my chest actually hurts a LOT.  

I think it is vital not to give in to fear at this time. This is the time for light workers to shine in whatever way we can to uplift the vibration . 

Much love

It’s been very challenging for so many... on so many levels.  My fight or flight is being triggered and I find myself fighting the urge to become aggressive.  Instead I am trying to funnel my energy into things that will be helpful. ie: work is not proving the proper masks and gowns that we need, so I am trying to procure them on my own. 

I’m staying away from most media... only a few choice Facebook pages and no radio or TV.  Self care is priority.

Everyone, please take care of yourself.

At least we can understand each other. Self care is the priority right now. 

I also think this is a wake up call for everyone and I want to help in this process of adaptation. 

Everyone please stay inside and safe. 

With love,

Diana

Is anyone else letting the dark creep up?  I'm feeling a lot less good-hearted princess and a lot more evil queen lately.  Like no good deed goes unpunished.  I want to put my children in a bubble and blow up everything around them.  Running around trying to save/fix everything and everyone else has just gotten exhausting.

Really feeling crazy. Moved in with my friend right as this was all getting into full swing. Boy did I pick a bad time to be in the 'burbs w/o a car & w/o any way to go anywhere or do anything, even if I could, I couldn't ya know?

I miss my apt. but my neighborhood was so awful, very bad for sensitive/empathic types. I don't read the news at all, for any reason. I keep meaning to do it on my tablet, which has an RSS feed. But I just don't feel up to it. It's like why?

My BFF has been obsessing over everything COVID. She's always reading articles, found something that suggested we may be able to be re-infected, or that we were still contagious, but then there was something that says that's not true. I'm like that's a sign you should stop reading stuff. Don't read anything. I hate it. She insists that it's info we need, but if it's changing this much in a short time, do we? Is it? I just don't agree. And she's a highly sensitive person, but gets obsessive with stuff, where I just feel bored/overwhelmed and want to escape as much as posisble. New info isn't going to make me change my behavior or be more careful than I'm already being. Plus I have food stamps and you can't even use that w/any delivery in some places. I could back in Newark NJ, but not here. So I still have to go to the supermarket & store for some stuff. Can't get everything by mail.

I hope you become comfortable in your new place. This is surely a difficult time to move but your desire to leave difficult neighborhood seems right on to me.

My recent experience in certain forums indicates your BFF's obsess w "c-vir flu" (I insist on writing that because if you've noticed they change the name alot; it's some sort of mind-fk IMHO) is not unusual. It's almost like religion for some. They read the "Science" everyday and then attempt to force their beliefs on everyone. I have been called selfish, mean, ignorant because I question cdc/who mainstream media. One told me I'm too dangerous cuz I'm questioning mask wearing. It's hard to stay in my center, be with what I believe when so many are buying in to the media hype.

Hang in there. Use a timer, "10 mins c-vir flu talk. That's it for me." ok that's rude but I mean boundary setting is good.

Blessings, Lupa
