I believe you are special.
I believe that you and any one else in this world has the ability to do something great. I know you have troubles and i know that it is not always easy, but i believe it is this very suffering, that makes you stronger.
It is only what you choose to do with what has happened in your life that dictates all the possible good that can come from you.
Me?
I choose to help any one and every one i can.
For those of us who are suffering, we can help others who are suffering.
We have so much to offer, and most times we never realise it.
I feel very much like i am an empath. I can feel what others are feeling...
sadness, anger, love, i can feel those emotions emanating from others. I believe this is partly due to the course my life has taken. I will always feel anxiety, but i put my anxiety on the back burners for what i have made one of my goals in life. Helping other mentally lost people find there way back. I know and understand the suffering of SA and aVpd and BDD.
To understand your own feelings and emotions is key.. so i spent a year of my life devoted to trying to understand why i was feeling the way i was. It sent me through one hell of a ride, but it bettered me. I will always believe that despite what you can not control , its the choices you make with what happened in your life, that dictates who you are

Interesting... I can relate to a lot of what you have written. I also believe that EVERYONE has something special to offer the world but I constantly seem to negate myself from that belief. I've been working real hard for a while now to understand what goes on in my head and at times I feel like Im just making it worse.

Ive been seeing someone to get my anxiety in order and have been going through CBT and now Schemas. I had a thought the other day that I seem to get an overwhelming feeling of others emotions just like what you mentioned. The therapy teaches me to disregard my 'assumed feelings' that create anxiety as it is negative fortune telling. Ive coped all my life by escaping and avoiding these overwhelming feelings and now it feels like therapy is teaching me to do the same.

Anyway, just wondering if you ever feel as though your falling backwards? It seems to be an endless loop of good and bad phases for me. Your post seems to imply that you have it pretty worked out.

Thanks :)

Hey there : )
To answer your question ? Yes . . i fall back sometimes , although i am more "Stable" then i was just about a year ago i do have my moments.
I also understand what you mean about the negative fortune telling , but what i have come to discover through my time in dealing with this "problem" is that sense i have undergone such extreme emotions and have spent so much time on figuring these emotions out , i can identify with others when they are feeling a certain way. Although i have had times where i feel like people are judging me and they are having contempt for me as well. I would agree these assumptions are wrong and negatively so caused by anxiety. Emotion i feel is something i have been trying to figure out for quite a while now. Not only am i dealing in SA but episodic depression as well , and Avpd and BDD. I have gotten very good at identifying the anxiety from genuine emotion and being able to relate to others when they are feeling depressed , or angry , ect . .
I used to work ar a grocery market , and when customers would come through my line, occasionally i would get a sense they were sad or upset , or frustrated.
I still remember this one guy , i felt sadness coming off him so i walked him out to his car, i carried his grocerys , and before he got into his car and left i felt obligated to ask "Hey whats wrong buddy?" Well long story short he starting going on about how women have it so easy , and his wife just left him and he had nothing left to live for. I talked with him for awhile and i seriously think i helped him alittle bit. If my life had not been the way it has, Would i still be able to relate to others when they are feeling a certain emotion so well ? I ask myself that and i come to the conclusion that people have individual purpose, that either god assigns to us, or we make for ourselfs. Im taking what life has taught me and using it try and benefit others and myself.
"The difference bewteen a stumbling block and a stepping stone is wether or not you see it first"
What i can suggest is never stop trying to figure yourself out , sometimes it is tough to stomach but some lessons we learn the hard way, others will never be able to know. This is why i believe in us , this is why i believe that we all have something to give back to the world if we recognise it. Also dont be impatient , because it might take you a very long time to figure it out, and what i have to say to that is we have our entire life to do it : )

That is a great original post, deep and profound, and definitely something to ponder over.

Thanks for that :)
