Sometimes its kinda fun to pick up the feelings/symptoms of friends and family. At times it can be helpful. But I seem to have passed some thresh hold recently, and I'm unable to get it to stop, to my own detriment(and sometimes to the detriment of those around me). Last night, I was unable to cook my husband dal after his dental surgery, because I was getting his headaches and wooziness.
I think it heightened after having a roommate move in... it got to a point where she could come home from work, and I'd tell her all the things that were wrong with her body/emotions that day. I think we both got a kick out of it, but then I started picking up my husband, too... and now I'm overwhelmed. And I want to be able to turn it on/off.
It could be a helpful tool, but not if its KOing me.
Has anyone used any simple shielding techniques they've found helpful?
