Can You Feel What’s Not Yours?

Ran out of GPT daily credits and gemini is 💩👆🏼

Did you ever get a sense of sudden shift in emotions, maybe sudden sadness? Emotional overwhelm? But without any reason for that trigger?

Yeah that’s how I feel today.

And while yes yesterday was challenging physically as I stood in the kitchen for literally no exaggeration 12 hours as it was the first day of Ramadan and I hosted my family and friends, preparing over 7 dishes from scratch with no help (I don’t like help in the kitchen, I like to take my time and do my magic).

And I was fasting too! And its the first day of Ramadan but i didn’t feel it AT ALL! I enjoyed every single bit of it…that I even did some veggies deco for the kids in my last hour before Iftar (haha) very proud of this creation ngl:

And after Iftar I got to chill with fam and friends and I was only tired physically, and my usual night low energy agitation when I have to deal with humans (mom asks way too many questions and I hate details 😭).

So i crashed and slept not knowing what hit me, woke up….I’m okay everything seems fine, but few hours later and a wave of sadness hit me! I was listening to random songs that never really trigger any emotions that I don’t even relate to them, and I felt like I want to cry. And I did tear up…so weird!

You see, I’m an empath, so if I have someone next to me or someone who communicated with me in any way (phone, messages…etc) and I was so invested in that person then I feel all of their emotions as if I’m the one living them.

So that’s normal for me, and I’m able to identify that these are not my emotions so I should just release them as it doesn’t benefit me or the person in crisis.

But today…who’s emotions are these? And why am I feeling them?

I don’t know…writing this for future reference.

I did read about it before, that sometimes you have someone connected to you in the ether, and you can feel their emotions.

Or…this is a simulation and there are multiple versions of me living in parallel universes, that’s another theory.

Donno…but what I know is, that sometimes it’s okay for a day to be a bad day/sad day/low energy day.

There’s no point in fighting that and trying to spend extra energies to change it, no..khalas I’d sit with these emotions today and I sleep, reset and tomorrow I come back cleared from it all.

And thus today won’t be a day I socialize, I actually informed mom that I won’t be joining them for Iftar, as I feel emotional overwhelm.

Surprisingly…she weren’t pushy at all!

She said okay, if you change your mind, we’re here.

Simple.

That’s it…it’s not one of those articles where you learn something haha, it’s one of those I write for me.

Peace out!
