Depression, Empaths, & Consciousness
Hi ..
the title isn’t so appealing is it? I know, but it’s very fitting for what I’m about to say.
Let’s begin with some simple definition of these terms.
Depression - feelings of severe despondency and dejection.
Empath - a person with the paranormal ability to apprehend the mental or emotional state of another individual.
Consciousness - the fact of awareness by the mind of itself and the world.
Basically, I am depressed because of my consciousness and being an empath.
It sucks, I must say. I often feel other people’s sadness which in turn makes me sad. And then just being aware of what lies between the lines within this realm and seeing things for what they really are messes with me too.
It’s like a damned if i do and damned if I don’t kinda thing.
Question is, how the hell do I stop this?
