The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

have you ever been with anyone who had so much energy that you could almost kill yourself with the excess?

Yes, absolutely. It's exhausting!

thank goodness i'm not the only one. I recently fed from someone who had me hyperventillating afterwards....then I nearly passed out. it was odd.

I'm a passive empath. I don't have enough control to do much more than block unwanted energy.

well, normally i can control it, but even when i pulled back it was still pouring into me. It was insane.

i know what that is like all to well. i can feel what every one is feeling. and sometimes when i feed from some one that is hyper or sad. i get there feelings and yes it drives me fucking crazy.

i can feel other peoples energy very well unfortunately most of the time it has a major effect on me

Yes!!! Especially when that energy is NEGATIVE---ugghhh~~ makes me wanna retch. My mom, for example, is a very depressed, negative energy feeder, and whenever she shows up in a foul or bitchy mood, within minutes....I am like a carbon-copy (of course her being a full-on Cancer and me being a Leo 1 doesn't help either)

Put me around bubbly people and I also reflect it. Certain shadey energy makes me 'off'.

Yes my partner is empath and he has at times felt weak cause I let out alot of energy way much more then normal

My friends say I'm an empath. I can feel other moods and pick up when something is off. I've been lucky to never have someones energy effect me to much. I have always seemed to be able to filter out others moods.

I used to date someone that almost completely drain my of my energy. That aws definately a bad experiance

Well just like as ReaperHunt said, many friends have told me that I must be empathic because I can tell when something is askew in their lives. Since I know my firends I can also usually take a pretty good guess as to what's bothering them. I can not however say that I've ever been overwhelmed by one of them having too much energy, be it negative or positive. The only thing that may have ever worn on me was when someone was just constantly surrounded by drama or someone who is depressed or too high on life. In either of those cases they either complained constantly or just didn't seem to care about day to day issues depending on which way they were.

I need to be careful and shield around certain people to protect myself from them and sometimes them from me. I can radiate enough to cause some friends discomfort when I'm upset or angry.

I wouldn't say to the point of killing myself but I have been around not just one but a group of people's who's energy was just an overload for me and it made me physically ill. Yeah, that sucked lol

Hmmm suicide hasnt entered the equation regardless of how much energy the person I am with has.

yes and we had sex all freakin night

I would agree on that, it never when to the point of thinking of suicide, it did seem painfull but mostly by relaxing, focussing and keeping your mind calm, it goes well, to me I am an empath to the dead so its totally different but my partner its with the dead and he has to help me since he recive from me whan ti recive from the dead, so its a tranfer of one emotion and energy from me to him, a second hand emotion kind a.he dont like to come one vr and talk about it but i dont mind I am not ashame it, its not and desease its just a little glitch.
(wonder if this is like second hand smoking? Nvm)

My Daughter is a psychic Vampire, and doesn't even know it. Drama Queen is my nick name for her. Every time something gets to her, she calls me crying, and by the end of the phone call, I am completely drained.

I can be completely overwhelmed by feeling other poeples emotions. Good or bad, when it's to much... it's to much.

last time i experienced that..I married her

mostly for people I know I let it in, yet somehow, even though I know what theyre feeling if I want to cause I feel it to, I am not too great at comforting others...

I can't seem to reverse the effect and give others my mood unless theyre an empath. I dont know enough about it yet to know if that's normal.

interestingly enough I can also feel what an animal feels... (I don't feel through feeding on blood or anything, just by being ohysically near others)

it exausts me to be around cetain people who seem to be able to force theyre emotions on me.

Well, once when I was asleep (I keep myself open when I sleep...I know...its dangerous) and everything in my dream started turning black and I got the feeling that someone somewhere was about to commit suicide or felt like it. I woke up crying because of the depression and pain that I felt. I called my friend and told her just to be able to tell someone about it so that I wasnt feeling alone. With those feelings I wanted to kill myself.

I am empathic and I spend most the time blocking negative energies. When someone with strong positive energy filters through I get hyper active and like im on a high. I just enjoy it, earth myself and continue on. I usually find its a gift from a friend so I am comfortable with recieving it. I never take if I can avoid it I will. As long as you ground yourself then just enjoy. There is so much negative energy around the positive is sunshine on a cloudy day.

yes my youngest son

One thing I've learned, being an empathic feeder and working in customer service but not being so swell at the shielding? Feeding off negative energy!

It's still energy. I just have to process it a smidge differently...I take the negative from the customer; by the end of the call they're in a good mood and I'm good because I've gained some energy.

Negative energy isn't always bad.

I can pick up on my beloved's feelings even tho at the moment we're over 200 miles away from each other. I can pick up on her moods n when she's feeling stressed etc. I even got backache when she had it!

My ex has much energy but it was all on the down side. She made me feel so sad and hopeless.

I believe we all have that empathic ability, just some more than others. I can't even go past a funeral home when services are being held.

In my professional industry being able to feel others energy is torture. My clients are all super rich vapid people. Sometimes I go to the back room and get sick or just cry.

Most of my friends love to hang out at places that have a lot of people, but I can't because I get tired trying to block all the energy around me.

My oldest child is very hyper and some times being around over loads me. And there are days when I have so much energy that I drive the people around me nuts. lol

i know what u mean. if careful i get over welmed by their emotions it makes me sick and at times about to pass out

I don't know about passing out but I do get sick from a overload. A uneasy feel that I can't stand it takes more engry just to shield myself from all the out pour of a big crowds, but at a concert that extra boost does come in handy

I can usually shield most very negative or overly-hyper moods. Sometimes it is quite overpowering, though.

It wasn't with anyone, but I think this will still count. My empathy abilities are strongest in the forests, or well nature in general. About a month ago we had a terrible storm. The woods that I went to had a lot of trees that had broken, fallen over, or split. When I was at the heart of the woods, the pain that the trees were feeling overwhelmed me and had me in tears.

There was also a time when I was radiating so much energy that when my friend touched me he pulled back and grabbed at his heart. I could feel his heart skipping beats that it should've had. I dropped my energy field and it went back to normal.

I have fed from people who have a lot of energy, and it's overwhelming, sometimes, the power that they have that they don't even realize!

Perhaps they do realize it but haven't practiced control quite enough; but think they have. Therefore see no reason to warn you. Meaning; I'm sure they do know they have power, but aren't sure how they may effect others.

I don't know exactly what I'd classify myself as. I have a tendancy to pick up on others emotions so strongly that what they feel, I feel. If they're happy, I'm happy, if they're unhappy, I'm unhappy, and if they feel like killing themselves, so do I.

I believe that is normal. Though depending on how strong the feeling is; it could be a sign that you may be an Empath yourself. It can be hard to tell before your awakening.

Indeed- as a bartender I had the opportunity to come into contact with many different people, and as such to feel their worries, stresses, etc. Especially considering that the hotel I worked in at the time was relatively small, and many of my customers were regulars per se- meaning they were staying at the hotel every week, every other week, etc...I made several journal entries about some of the more interesting encounters I had, especially when I felt the need for help in either dealing with the problem or putting a name to it...

I have known a few as to where, their presence would make me dizzy or seem as if i was drunk.

Yes, I have a friend , whom I love dearly. However they make me feel sooooo much discomfort when I am physically present with them, it's easier to chat on the phone!!! AMEN!

I am an empath. I have had such expireiences (sp), I know that this happens to ppl I rather have more then enough energy from someone rather then no energy tho

Yes not to the point of wanting to die . Tho . But I especially feel it with my new gf right now .

lol I think Im a hit and miss..I can sometimes tap into the energy..and other times try so hard I exhaust myself just trying.

apparently there were a few misconceptions....
Not commit suicide because of it.....that it was so much that if you didn't shut yourself off it could kill you, the energy itself.
And it wasn't negative energy....just soo much that it had nearly drawn you in.
Every time I am around him, if I am not careful, that happens. He just has an unimaginable amount of energy. It never seems to go away either.

The essential tool is self enquiry about things we do not understand. The Whirling Darvish are good examples of a culture of empaths who let their energy flow into a spiralling dance. I think energy motivates and colours our experience of the world, people and cultures.

there was this girl that made me sick every time she touched me .. she was suffering with the loss of a ex boyfriend
her pain was transfered to me vary ez..
it would have killed me had i stayed with her

As you can tell from here you are not alone. I have never been overloaded except from a negative source. That was truely unsettling :o

Yes I have and it is very tiring. I work with special needs students and this happens to me often.

Recently Feeling Others Enegry Has Overwhelmed Me So Much That I Have To Just Shut Myself Into My Room And Let The Enegry Figure Itself Out

My Empathy Is A Trait That Skipped Over My Mother And My Sister And Was Given To Me...My Empathy Has Grown More Over The Years And Especially With The Birth Of My Daughter It Has Grown To Proporations Of High Amounts I Don't Know What To Do...

A very useful tool for an empath is shielding.

I don't know if this is valid here or not, but we shall see.

I know that I am not very empathic at all, but I know that I am a strong broadcaster, and was wondering if any empaths could give me advice as how to tone down the broadcasting so to speak.

no, maybe that makes me the one with bounds of energy?

just like if you dont see a freak on the bus, the freak is you.

I have a friend now that is like that whenever he is near my energy levels shoot up like crazy and I have to find something to do to wear some of it off

yes, it hurts my chest

My ex used to be so hyper he would actually give me anxiety attacks. I'd have to leave the room he charged it up so much.

he never enough to kill but he had enough to make me feel like a drunk idiot sometimes

i am empathic as well. i dont necessarily know how to control it yet. but when i come across someone whose energy is unhealthy for me, i have to leave their presence at once. thats the only thing that helps me calm back down. and sometimes it takes hours.

exactly lol. thats why weed helps sometimes . and breathing exercises.

lol yes I have and she is sitting right beside me now :) but I just take a deep breath and picture her head exploding then I am all calm agian

I have grown so accustomed to my abilities as an empath, that I have become very good at shielding myself against negative energies and emotions.

yes that happened to me recently... a friend passed away and i mourned and what not. and was fine but when i went to her funeral service it was a whole different thing. all of the people were crying and i felt there sadness and started crying my self. it was realy strange because some where in the crowd someone was realy pissed and i kept having surges of anger.

at first being around my father realy threw me off, he's a manik depresent and a skitsofrinick so i had all of thease different emotions runing threw me all at once, most of the time it's anger and i cant tell if its at me or my stepmother or what. being around it all the time i find my self angry as well.

I have newly discovered I AM an Empath.. I am deeply affected by Pathos, Mainly.....

If Someone I love is hurting I FEEL physical PAIN.. OR If I tell somone something That hurts, ME.. The thought that it would hurt, THEM, Gives me a physical pain, also...
I can't help it..
I also feel peoples voices and KNOW if they are lying or hiding a painful truth.
I can even hear, past trauma, IN peoples voices... ODD,but I have tried what I feel, and to date.. it has been true..
I recently discovered that being an 'Empath' is what, it IS.

THANK YOU for this thread!!

i am a empath. and the things that i have felt from people in great times of pain or suffering yes u can kill ur self from all of that energy they give off.

I'm a very sensitive empath and learned shielding helps and allows you to filter the energy into you slowly or block it completely. I also learned recycling and that is taking negative energy and filtering it through the earth and making it positively charged for use or storage.

As far as meeting someone who overcharges me, never met anyone yet. by themselves or in a group for that matter.

Or it could be someone defense mechanism of a powerful psi and they will feed you energy alot of it to teach you to ask. Before taking and it can kinda short circuit your empathetic side and make you feel fractured for awhile, so be careful when feeding and gaining energy.

I'd like to know HOW to be able to block this.. it'd make my life SO MUCH easier!! and easier to SPILL!

Your shields will allow u to block this if u layer them. Instead of one shield try 5-10 and all different shields. from magic protection to energy filtering to blocking ones and layer them and also use mirrored shields as well and infuse them with the universal flow and ground them.

It's a funny thing because empathy has been attached to Psi feeders but I know many who drink blood who are empaths and quite frankly no one I know predominantely feeds from one source. They feed from many even if in many cases it is unconsciously. As you get older you realize it. Shielding is difficult to do if you do not have a good base in meditation and visualization techniques.

Even the best of us cannot shield everything out because it's all dependent on the type of shield you create. I finally got into shielding with a mirroring effect to send certain things back. A good release for emotional energies is via water. It doesn't have to be fancy. You can wash your hands, take a bath or what is best for me is a shower and visualize it going out. If you live near large bodies of water like lakes or oceans its a good place to send it out.

There is a difference as well in projection and empathy and some can do both. I get sick at my stomach and anxiety ridden even with the best of shields around very chaotic-negative energy creative people. It will affect my mood and personality if extreme. I have learned to ignore people like this. Now flirty, fun and happy energies if in excess from one or more puts me in a drunken energized condition. It doesn't last hours on end but its a good buzz, lol.

It was because he was another type of supernatural.....
Have any of you ever heard of "The Sons of Daemon"?

Gods YES!
And then I will have the worlds worst headache for hours afterward

I sometimes hate being an empath...its like really tiring to be around a lot of people sometimes and getting all those feelings from my surroundings can give me a headache.

I cannot say that anyone has ever made me feel suicidal, though homicidal is a definate. Given my line of work, I deal with energies on a constant basis, so even when I shield, often it can leave me feeling quite drained. Sometimes, if you feel that strongly, giving your face, hands and chest a good splashing of cool water will help rid yourself the shock until you can better center yourself.

This is interesting as empathic tends to focus more on emotions, not energy. So either people are viewing the emotions as energy or naturally interpreting this thread to mean emotions.

I have not been to the point you mention, but have had extreme mood swings hit me when I was in fine state. It wasn't till later that I was aware that the mood was not my own and I was pickup on someone else.

As for energy, well not many people have more energy than I do, so no too much never seems to be an issue for me.

I'm a young empath and sometimes it hurts to be around certain people. It drains my own energy very badly but I don't talk about it a lot.

a good friend of mine is an empath, it drives me nuts that He knows everything im going to say at every moment. i also feel bad when someone tries to tap into his energy cause it makes him feel so weird

It used to be a problem for me when I was a lot younger, to be around a lot of people at once since their emotions all came at me like a flood. But now, it's not really a problem anymore, you just have to learn to deal with it really.

Im a soap bubble, a happy happy soap bubble..

I push all that excess energy towards inanimet objects..like light bulbs...
because they are receavers to energy and can be used as an easy outlet. but like with all things you push to much and they will pop...(learned that the hard way)

It is a great thing to feed of this kind of energy but what about the coming down as the energy diffuses and drops. To me its like dropping into a sudden depression how do you prevent that.

You can't die from excess, you will only ever pass out

Yes I have. I must say that it drives me to the point that I just want to end my own life. The pian and emotions that I feel when I am around people who are much more powerful than myself really gets to be too much for me to handle at time. It can be overwhelming.

Today for instance, my room mate was in utter pain and I felt every last little bit of her pain. I just wanted to jump out of the window. She may not know it at this point but she is stronger than me. I can sense it. Don't know how but I can.

I have never had too much energy, butt I have been in the pressence of someone who had so much energy that it left me in a state of submission

i was very overly hyperactive as a child, on meds for it but I used to drive my mom to have migrain headaches and my older brother started to get them to so now when im around them i have to watch that i keep really calm and quieter than i am naturally or they will get migranes!

i have mett someone who had such rage and anger....so much emotion that it made me really sick

I understand that aspect WitheredSoul, I helped a friend that had intentions of committing suicide and I drew out as much of her negative energy as i could. As it turned out i got it all out of her. But I was suicidal even after I thought I had ground myself. I did it again showered and went to bed. Thankfully my friend felt 100 times better and started making new plans when she eventually woke up. But Getting rid of the energy once you draw it out of a person is really important.

I do recommend anyone interested in energy read Stabb's articles in the members page it gives some very good advice.

Yes I have. And this is with my very own mother. She makes me feel angry because she exudes it. I go for YEARS without speaking to her because it. She won't change- and I feel sick when we communicate.

I had a major overload yesterday, about 75 6 year olds at their graduation ceremony. I had to walk outside several times.

my guess is that you need to practice on keep up psychic sheilds of somesort to deflect the other energy. it takes practice but it's very useful

I couldnt agree with you more Indigo I get the same thing with my father *shudders*

Ok guys you all may laugh but I had no idea what I was feeling all this time until now!! Thank you for this thread! I have never know what to call it or what was "wrong" with me. I just thought at times I was nuts...... So thank you for this thread from the bottom of my heart!!

Forhim, I would never laugh it took me a long time to realise what it was for me too. Wasn't until sept 11 that I finally found out what was going on with me. Then I did some research and started learning about it. Just always remember its a gift not a curse and if you need any help then drop me a line.

Yes especially when its negitive energy . It hasn't made me want to kill myself . But I has made cut myself before .

With enough training and practice you won't need to feed, you can just absorb extra energy from people who are standing next to you on the sidewalk. Granted this can cause mood swings if you aren't used to it, though its a lot better than a friend being in a solemn or just tired mood all day.

yes I've know a couple people like that just make sure to shield around them and/or ground

NO, i have learned to block it

yes i have and it does drive you crazy..

I have only been around one person lately who drains me and I no longer talk to her.... Thank goodness. She did what she was intended to do for me and that was introduce me to my husband.... now that I have him I don't have to worry about putting up a guard or even just dealing with the fact that after I was done hanging out with her I was exhausted....

sorry havent felt it
