Sponging up emotions?

[CoffeeCat]

I haven't been on here in a while because not a lot has been happening in my life.
I got a new job in August and one of my co workers is a very spiritual woman. She has visions and she tells me about them.

Her last one I guess in her dreams she visited her ex bf in her dreams and she told him she loved him and she was at the foot of his bed while he was asleep. She said she traveled.
Overall it was a very emotional convo and I sponged up her emotions and I've been on the verge of tears ever since. My hair has been on end and I'm antsy. I'm totally soaking her up.

Can I have advice on how to deal with this? Both her and me. I love talking to her because she is so open and she talks to me because I'm open to things as well.
I dunno maybe I'm venting.

Are you an "empath"? Has this happened before where you pick up other people's emotions?

Maybe you are picking up on a past life relationship with her ?? I had an apartment neighbour who was sharing alot with me .. or her experiences with ghosts, other psychic things. And also felt rather ansy as being the conservative type was still unsure what to beleive in regards to psychic things..


I went on to realise through a past life memory she had been a mother in one life. I finally came to realise she was too darn open.. and that she was having emotional problems dealing with the regular world with undeveloped boundaries due to psychological traumas .. I was having difficult emotional and health problems and still not aware of having been sexually molested . I was having a hard time dealing with her underlying problems she was not dealing with in a proper way..


We both had similar memory of a past life together , the one I believe where she was my mother but died early So I am assuming our being drawn together was based on that past time together


We ended up parting ways on a sour note sadly > I so appreciated her time in my life as it did open me up to a deeper awareness of my self.

Yes, Maybe


I can usually tell right away if I want to be near a person, if I don't, it's a feeling of being uneasy, of exercising caution, I would often see somebody approaching before my (late) Dog did and feel this way, and when they got closer, my Dog spotted them and started growling, which she rarely did.


On the other hand, if it was someone I liked being around, it was a feeling of goodness, of being relaxed around them, and off my guard and my Dog would feel the same way.


I and my Dog almost always agreed, but one time she was right and I was wrong, so I tended to trust her judgment, but yes, I felt I was somewhat of an empath from time to time.

Perhaps at some deeper level you realize that this woman is sharing rather personal information of an unusual and even invasive nature (preying on an ex-bf psychically), and that's what's making you feel antsy?
