A reminder to Empaths

I never thought I'd live to see the apocalypse.
That's what I think about this,I was hoping it would be Mad Max style but not an interceptor in sight lol.I'm sick of listening about this on practically every live tv broadcast so I've settled in to getting engrossed in Netflicks series and only check on the horrible reality every second day,the whole thing is like some b grade sci-fi movie that never ends and we have front row seats.
 
Empaths, and everyone else for that matter, it's story time. One from my personal book.

I consider myself to have very strong shields, and to have a deep faith. I try to bring that faith here to you daily and I hope I can spread a bit of fairy magic around as well most days. But....I recently hit a wall one morning.

I woke up and felt like I was in some alternate universe that was playing a bad joke. I actually had difficulty wrapping my brain around the whole thing. Just the thought of dealing with another day of the pandemic had me uttering, "I never thought I'd live to see the apocalypse." Now, that wasn't me speaking...not the real me. It was all the headlines I had scanned for days and weeks on this hitting me square in the head. You see, I do scan about 100 websites a day and pretty much everything is about this damn virus right now. I scan that many so I can compare and vet the stories and only post those that I feel relevant and not outright fear stuff. I do the same with the paranormal sites, who are posting next to nothing at the moment about the paranormal! (OK, so I'm picky about not bringing you junk stuff! lol)

It was the planning how to get food in without exposing my son to much of the dangers out there right now, it was dealing with all the new "stuff" I've had to manage since all this began, it was how do I make sure we have the meds we need and supplies on hand for the 02, it was learning how to teleconference with doctors, it was tamping down the fears of the family and reassuring them we are OK right now. It was also my shields on low power from lack of sleep.

Anyway, it got so bad I developed a headache, the shakes from anxiety, and I decided I needed a time out. So I contacted my great mod crew here (special shout out to Critter and Duke) and threw the keys to them for the day. I asked them to drive the bus here while I stayed away from news for a day.

The reason I share this with you is to remind all of you there may be times you really do need to unplug from it all for 24 hours. Just find a hot tub to lounge in, play some games, turn off the news and don't listen to any of it for a bit. Turn off your phone, tune out the world. Take that nap.

We can all get through this time. BUT, we need to acknowledge when we need to back away from it all as well. It's OK to stand back, breathe, and recharge. It's OK to need time to yourself and not deal with anything for a day...or two if you need it. It's OK to cry a bit, and it's OK to fall apart if it helps. Just remember you can pick it all up again the next day and begin "adulting" again. Don't wait until you are completely overwhelmed. Recognizing that you need the time away from it all is important. Take the time to step back if you need to. We all need to at some point.

You are not alone. We are here, and if you find yourself needing an ear, we will be here to listen. Much love to you all! :<3
Good advice Debi. I check the CDC or world health org reports daily and one 15 or 20 min news bit. I can’t take what seems like fear pushing of the media. It may just be my impression of what is really public concern but I can’t take it. Somehow I feel there is other motivations but I will not go there with only a gut feeling. For the moment I am set on auto pilot and just moving through these days with intention and prayer.

Right back at you Debi.

I’ve found the real world - and the psychic world - stressors to be too strong to ignore in recent weeks. But as of this week especially, I feel more centered.

Looking backwards on this thread, I found that my crazy sensitivity started on 3/14 or possibly on 3/12. So it’s been a roller coaster of two full weeks and just over one week of recovery.

I have to completely avoid news coverage and immerse myself in my special interests.
Good plan. I limit how much news I read and watch too. Frankly a lot of "news" stories have click bait headlines and only focus on the negative part of the story. There is a lot of good happening out here such as the nightly prayer groupings that PNF and other organizations do, such as volunteers helping, such as corporations continuing to pay layed off employees. These stories are not are not as sensational and don't draw attention to a news organizations. Enough editorializing before Debi kicks me off the forum.
 
I had a monstrous headache, yesterday. It happens when I try to pit myself against this unrelenting assault of media based panic. Even in my inbox, are constant reminders to think about the damned virus, from my bank, my insurance company, and any other place I shop from, etc.

Which is why I encourage you to take some "unplugged" time. :)
 
Unlike a great many of you here, I am like Ozentity and live so far backwoods (by choice) that I don't suffer as much anxiety about many of the things you have to worry about. I have spring water and unless God changes that, the supply is fresh and never ending. I can forage for many edibles and I have limited hunting on my property to NONE in the last 22 years - BECAUSE - well, this is the because. I have deer and squirrel and 'other assorted' if need be and since everyone around me OVER hunts - guess where the animals hang... there is enough here to feed the valley if necessary... hmmm... I like being alone... I HATE going to town... I am seldom bored, because I live in my head (as those of you who know me can attest) and all kinds of 'not boring' stuff goes on in that crazy town. :rolleyes:

All that being said - I do suffer an almost over-bearing NEED to panic - daily - because I FEEL the nasty, greasy, disgusting, ALIEN-NESS~ of this thing called 'coronavirus_pandemic.' I am NOT an empath, but I am tuned fully into distortions in The Balance/Nature/Earth/Vibration... and this is a DOOZEY! I am PISSED off. I am on ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! ~ for whoever and whatever is and are... going to manipulate this ;vothing - and the media is on the no-fly list. But it is also dangerous to stick our heads in the sand, limit our information to political agenda sites, stew on conspiracy theories, and in general be stupid about this thing. I monitor my County Health.Org - I 'SCAN' national news about once a week - I read HERE - and I listen to the local and National medical AUTHORITIES on reputable sites. I am NOT fond of the lock downs as they smack of ALMOST Martial Law - and people have to eat and are scared and totally freaked out - but I respect the need for US, as Individuals, to learn and learn fast - and these lock down's are a Wake Up Call alright - and... I think they are actually bringing us closer as Human Beings... as we re-learn to Walk in Self-Responsibility, not just for ourselves, but for our neighbors. Because WE are all there is. And WE are POWERFUL TOGETHER and screwed screwed screwed - divided ... and we needed to remember that maybe. Well, CERTAINLY... not maybe.

Anyway - that's my stuff - anxiety? Not so much. Full blown PANIC? Like a dog who hears that whistle humans can't and the damned thing won't STOP and bark bark BARK, where are you!?!!? Rabid, raw, panic... if I concede victory to it... so, I guess that would suck and I'll not be doing that - God Willing. :oops::hearnoevil:

I posted this for Debi last night - and with her permission - I'd like to post it here, for all of you... I don't know much 'truth' about this vile - thing we won't name - but I DO KNOW - WE CAN BEAT it and it HATES Laughter, Hope, and LIGHT Energy - hates it - so in honor of that (f*** the damned-able 'it') and before I have to be - who knows - on Call or something - somewhere... You are ALL Champions and Light the darkest night with the Power of a thousand Candles. Be Safe. Be Brave. Be YOU. Warrior up People! TONIGHT IS YOURS - AS IS A SLEW OF BEAUTIFUL TOMORROWS.
