  There are people who are that empathetic, and there's no reason so think you couldn't be.  Or maybe there's subconscious stress you're trying to leak out.

• evil_twin said on Jun 03, 2009....

  I know just how you feel. I really do. And I hate that sense of foreboding when you just know something bad is about to happen and you have no idea what it is. I've been feeling the same way lately. And I think we have a lot in common in terms of feeling people's pain...I truly do understand. So maybe we can get a room next to each other at the looney bin?

  This brought home what happened to me on 9/11.  I went to work that beautiful morning and felt a deep, scary sadness--sort of a feeling of great loss.  I also felt antsy, and muttered to myself, "Something big is about to happen."  I always felt so bad about those feelings, and wondered if I was being sort of psychic.  In the bathroom at work that morning, someone said, "It's not the end of the world."  I automatically replied, "Yes, it is."  Then I wondered why I said such a thing.  About 30 minutes later, I heard the terrible news.
   
  Well, sorry to bring that sadness up, but on another note, today I was just so tired.  I was hearing a song on the radio at work and it crossed my mind, "Why do people even bother working so hard to write and sing songs." The whole idea of it made me sad, like--what's the point?   Now, that's being tired!
   
  Or (hopefully not) we are on the same wave length today?

  cw, i completely believe that people can soak up the pain and emotions of others...also though, is your blood sugar ok?

• MissMimi said on Jun 03, 2009....

  Many days I feel like that, CDub. 

• Hegemone said on Jun 03, 2009....

  I think it's perfectly normal to just want to cry sometimes.  I mean, if its a daily thing, well then maybe you should check in with your doc about it, but otherwise, I'd think it's fine.  Sometimes you just bottle stuff up so long that something wants to seep out and you didn't even realize it was in there, or yes, you hold extreme empathy for another.  Shed a few tears and move along is the way I go about it.

  uni,
  I've been having nightmares too.  Maybe it is partly stress.  I don't know.
  
  evil twin,
  I'm sure that you do have the same sense.  We can be neighbors at the looney bin.  I keep sensing that the president isn't safe in the Middle East.  I have no reason to think that.  I just do.  Goofy, huh?
  
  wombat,
  The last time I felt this way there was that plane crash on the Hudson.  I even saw a low flying plane early that day when I started having the feeling.  This one started when I saw the president getting off the plane in the Middle East this morning. It's just a very strange sense of foreboding.  So much, that I've been avoiding the news today.
  
  fraggles,
  My sugar has been a little higher than I like the past few days.  It has me upset and if I could, I would swear off food completely. Maybe that is part of the sense of foreboding.  I sure hope I'm not going to keel over.  Like I said, I might just need a stay at the looney bin.
  
  Mimi,
  I know you do.  ((((((hugs))))))

  Hege,
  As much as I blab here, you would think that I don't bottle things.  I do though. Sometimes it's just not worth wasting my breath.  I feel defeated for a while until I summon the energy to give myself a pep talk.

  Well, that's all kind of spooky.  I do understand, which is why I wrote my comment but wondered if I shouldn't have brought up bad memories for some.  I just hope your "feeling" today was just one of those days, and all will be well.  (as well as expected, anyway---bad news is everywhere every day as it is.  Hopefully nothing really unusual will occur!

  Anyway, hope you will take it easy and get that sugar down.

• Hegemone said on Jun 03, 2009....

  Oh yeah, everybody bottles things, and sometimes you don't even realize you've done it too.  I do that sometimes and then it hits me and later I think "I didn't even realize it had affected me so much!"  I understand about it not being worth the breath though, although sometimes, its really about the timing of wasting the breath ... do it now, or do it when it all comes pouring out on it's own.

• CreativeWoman said on Jun 03, 2009....

  Wombat,
  Thanks.  The feeling probably isn't predicting anything.  Maybe I'm just projecting emotions to the wrong place.  I think I need to get a degree to figure myself out!
  
  Hege,
  Thanks.  It's nice to know you care.

  A good cry will lighten your heart. I think it is a release for the bottled up emotions.
  Let go and cry your heart out.

  crying is cleansing, just let it flow. it will make you feel good...

  I had an experience like wombats. When the crew with that lady teacher astronaut were about to launch into space that year, and I was listening to the news about it that morning, I had the sudden thought "They're going to die." And they did. Can't remember what year that was or anything. I'm sure people will know what I'm talking about though. I wasn't surprized the craft exploded but have no idea where that thought came from... I know what you mean exactly though. Sometimes I will get this overwhelming sense of doom, sadness -the worse times was right before my period and then after that would start the feeling would go away...that is just one cause for me that I've noticed. Sometimes I'll just feel for the problems of my family and be overcome with sadness and helplessness for them....that's when I try to pray more. Another weird time was recently when my husband and I were at a chevy dealership applying for a cobalt for my husband. My husband left me sitting with the sales rep guy to call his father and, while I was sitting and me and the sales rep were chit chatting all of a sudden I felt this overwhelming sadness for this sales rep...it came out of nowhere. I just felt a heaviness in my heart for this guy-then I had the thought to pray for him. So I did. Lots of times when I feel this heavy sadness, for whatever reason, I find it helps to pray....

• anna.lucia said on Jun 04, 2009....

  oh, and I forgot, it helps to have a good cry too:)

• anna.lucia said on Jun 04, 2009....

  sorry, and sugar problems can soooo play with your emotions! I've had low blood sugar for some time and boy do I know!

• queenparanoia said on Jun 04, 2009....

  it's what makes us human cw... we feel something unexplainable...

  so let the tears flow. let your tears wash away what you feel...

  Uh Oh..........I might have made matters worse then,,,,will you forgive me? ~WOLF~

• WriterCarlDobbs said on Jun 04, 2009....

  You may have a case of chronic depression.  Left untreated the condition gets worse and worse and worse.  I know many who have suffered from this disease and I am a victim.  Do not allow it to continue. See a psychiatrist who will give you the medicine needed to stop it in  its tracks before it gets worse.
   
  If it is found that no medicine is needed, try this:  Ask yourself if there is any assumption that you make (I'm too ugly, nobody likes me) that makes you feel sad.  Counter that assumption by sking yourself if you really are "ugly" or whatever.  Then disbelieve the assumption.  Reject it.  This is a technique those with depression use to dispel the feelings of worthlessness, fear and crying.  It works wonders.

  I think your right CW. I often feel that exact same way. Hope your day brightens up, thanks for sharing.

• CreativeWoman said on Jun 05, 2009....

  I will be back to answer your comments a little later, but I just wanted to make a note that what I was sensing was right!  A Utah man is being sought for making an assassination threat against the president.

  Oh wow...  sometimes people just have that feeling.  I think that's what God or that higher up is, is that time when people just KNOW something.
