You know how you have one of those days that feels like there is a dark cloud hovering over your head and nothing seems right, well that's how I have been feeling for over a week now. I am feeling uptight, and emotional and cannot put my finger on the cause, but it is starting to effect my mental and physical health. To make matters worse tomorrow is my birthday and I do not want to do anything but hide under a rock and cry. Normally, I can change my perspective and turn my focus to the brighter side of things, but not so far. I am more uptight, and emotional as each day passes. Forget mentioning what I am going through to anyone around my household, nobody quite understands. My words fly over their heads like nobody's business.  Ughhhhhhhhhhh!

Cheyenne,

Thanks for the birthday wish and for also responding (I appreciate it). I think you are correct when you stated all of these feelings are not mine. I recently have discovered I am sensitive to my environment and those in it. I just always thought I was a nervous/anxious person. I discovered in the empath section of the forum the Book of Storms and have been trying to strengthen my ability to   be in tune with my self. These feelings I were experiencing threw me for a loop I guess because they were so strong I was overpowered by them. I know exactly whose feelings I am picking up on and have an idea of what feelings do not belong to me.
How do I protect myself ? What do I do with these feelings that are rightfully not mine?
