Empathy
« on: June 28, 2009, 06:48:11 PM »
Okay...I guess I'll start the first topic under this subject... I'll start at the begining...
I'd say it all started in 1997 or 98. It started out as incredibly bad mood swings and I thought I was going crazy. I was working at Medieval Times at the time (with Janice...lol). I would be waiting tables...fine one minute and in a full blown panic attack the next. A psychic friend of mine told me that she thought that I was empathic...I was mirroring other peoples emotions as if they where my own. Being in a crowd such as at Medieval Times was so overwhelming! My friend helped me learn how to seperate my own emotions from those around me. It took several years to get it down pat...my co-workers must have thought I was schizo or something.

Now more reicently...I became a paranormal investigator. I never thought that my sensativity would be useful in an investigation. I'd always say that "My sensativity is tword the living and not the dead." In the past few months I've been meditating at night...just to try to increase my "psychic" (I hate that word) ability. I didn't think that it was working. Then we go to our last investigation. (I'm not going to be too spicific b/c a few of our members haven't been there yet) During our groups quick investigation of the house I started to feel a very intense emotion...I didn't realize at the time that the emotion I was experiencing was not my own. Several people told me that I wasn't acting like myself that night...and for the life of me I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me...why did my mood do a complete 180 for absolutly no reason??? I wasn't expecting to be able to pick up on an emotion from a paranormal source...and I didn't realize that is what happened until the next morning when my mind had cleared. So now...to make a long story short...I think that I am able to pick up on the emotion, or vibration, or residual energy (or whatever) of a place...or maybe even sense the emotion of a spirit...I'm still learning as I go so I'm asking my teammates to bear with me as I go through this learning process.  :)

Now we just need more investigations so I can have more practice!  ;D

Ok guys this is my first post to the website.  Mandi i have already spoken with you on the phone and in person so you know what i am about to say.  I will just throw it out there that if anyone of you guys needs help in controlling your abilities i am here to help.  There is a reason why my mother and her mother call the gifts we have "the burden".  I understand that they can be completely overwhelming at times but there are ways around it.  If you don't know my phone number already I will gladly give it to you if you need help. 

Derek
