I have recently found out that I'm an Empath. Apparently I have had this ability all my life. I pick up other people's feelings. Which I guess explains my life why I have always felt like someone else and never myself. It's scary 'cause I get so overwhelmed by the feelings and thoughts of others it drags me into a bad depression. I use music and alcohol to drown out these alien thoughts and feelings. Is there anyone out there that knows anyone or has this ability that can help me cope with this? A few tips would be great. I hate going through times like every few weeks to a month where I come close to killing myself.
