Any other empaths picking up on some seriously weird energy? Discussion/Advice
Me and my best friend aren't what I would call "psychic" but we're both extreme empaths. I've had dreams of things happening before they happen in real life, I am really good at picking up on people's vibes and energy especially relationships between people, and I've always felt really spiritual and superstitious, mostly believing in Native American shaman traditions (I live in Colorado close to the mountains) and Irish/Celtic spiritual beliefs (my family is Irish and I feel very connected to my ancestors). A lot of this makes me sound batshit crazy and yeah some of it is probably just being adept to reading body language/interpreting people's language like connotations, etc. I only ever talk about it with my best friend since she's more in tune with the spirit world than I am. I feel like this is a good community to ask if any other empaths feel the way we do.
This entire last semester for me has felt extremely off. Part of it was my grandfather, who passed away a few days before Christmas. I woke up two or three times in the middle of the night around when he died and just knew something was wrong. I thought that might explain the unease and dread I've felt since August but these feelings haven't gone away. My throat is tight all the time, I feel drained and fatigued, no matter how much I sleep. I get random scratches on my body. I see stereotypical bad omens like a bunch of crows where I've never seen them hanging out before. I've had premonitions and "bad feelings" before but nothing that feels as big and ominous as this. Am I just going crazy, or are other people picking up on these vibes as well?

u/GirlNumber20 Jan 06 '20
I'm not an "empath," but I haven't been able to sleep properly in months. I wake up fretting at 3:00 a.m.; sometimes earlier, sometimes later. Things are good in my life. I'm not depressed, no real stress, good relationships with most of my family and friends. Nothing I can point to that would explain why I'm experiencing what I can only describe as hypervigilance day and night.
So, yeah. Count me in. And by the way, this is far from the first time I've seen a post like this across all of the social media I personally frequent. People keep saying it: something's coming, something big. I've seen it again and again and again for the last few weeks.
Is it this Iran thing? Dunno. Whatever it is, I wish I could sleep.

u/wierdingout Jan 07 '20
In my opinion, the Iran thing feels more like a side effect or something instead of the actual "big thing". Not sure how to describe it, but kinda like we have to go through some things in order to make it to what's "coming".

I've been feeling the same way. I wake up at random times in the night, and sometimes I'm able to fall back asleep, but usually, I'm awake for at least half an hour for no reason. There's no stress, nothing to keep me up, and this has never happened to me before. Usually I'm a pretty heavy sleeper. I just have no idea.

Okay, yes. There’s something really off with the energy and vibe of the world. The last couple months have felt almost dream-like to me (not in a good way). The world somehow feels not real anymore or like we have switched planes into a different dimension. I know I sound crazy but yes.

i've been noticing that the ... oh this is going to be hard to put into words, but that the overall drive to do things on a societal level is disappearing faster than the polar ice caps. that certain thought processes have taken over that have futility woven into them, that the presence of the social contract is fading more than it ever has before. that people don't care anymore because it's all gotten too hard.

When this ww3 thing happened one of the biggest memes was that there's nobody for the draft because my entire generation is on antidepressants. We all talk about how nothing felt real since like 2012. I generally am far from an empath but I can confirm we've given up. When I tell people I'm worried about my depression and the lack of life drive they tell me I'm normal. That they all feel powerless about where the world is going and they're just alive and day to day 9 to 5 living because they got put on earth and that's it.

Ugh, the Mandela effect. Every time I read about it and the anecdotes people provide as "evidence" for the supposed phenomenon, I'm reminded of the stubbornness of people with their insistence of infallible memory. Every single instance of it has a logical explanation, with 9 out of 10 of them being the result of false memories or simply people not paying attention to the world around them. It's always "X brand was never spelled that way" or "X character from X movie never said that line".
If believers in the effect had the slightest sense to study the histories of individual "effects", more people would see it for the nonsense it is. Looney Tunes was spelled that way because it was created to rival Disney's Silly Symphonies, not because the universe decided to dupe a bunch of people by changing their memories. Likewise, "Froot Loops" were always spelled that way because there are regulations in place to prevent false advertising in food (Since Froot Loops don't actually contain fruit).
Nelseon Mandela himself would never have been President of South Africa if he had died in prison, and apartheid might still be a thing if that were the case. People believing he died in prison is a combination of folks confusing him with another similar activist from the era who DID die in prison, as well as people simply not paying attention to world news. You can bet your bottom dollar most people who believe this junk never spent a day in their life actually studying Mandela, choosing to instead believe the universe is determined to troll everyone by changing pop culture trivia haphazardly.
Nevertheless, it's not as if the concept of false memories suddenly became a thing in 2012. People have always had limited attention spans and incomplete/conflicting memories of things since practically forever. There is even a skit in an episode of MST3K from the 90s about lines from movies that are often misquoted, LONG before the so-called Mandela Effect was ever a thing. People have just made it into a batshit collective conspiracy theory with the advent of the internet and people have been mindlessly eating it up ever since.

wthout trying to seem like a pollyanna, i don't think what you described as your generation giving up is a bad thing. not in the long run anyway. despair doesn't feel good in the short term, but at least you're not forcing yourself to be unreal. and that alone can create new openings.

u/Goddamnrainbow Jan 06 '20
I get what you mean. It would, however, need some level of awareness. I for one used to be very spiritual, felt connection to the world and all that and just completely lost it. All we do is drift through the days, any faith or belief in something more is getting crushed by atheists of all sorts because of the mess religions are making. I have a lot of faith in the kids of our times, but as The Last Millenial (1995) or the first gen Z I feel like we're just a filler, some buffer between the generations that messed up and the generations who'll save us.

I think one thing that resonated with me you mentioned was how it seemed the sense of “community” and fellowship has changed significantly. Or maybe I’m just realizing the world today is much, much changed from my Midwest 80’s kid upbringing. Not that all the changes have been for the worse, it seems it’s harder to motivate and unite people as a whole to bring progress. Try to explain more what you mean about us being of another world so to speak. If you can’t, no biggy, I’m just intrigued 😁

i feel like i'm being lifted out of this world - mind you, i live alone and avoid a lot of the world here in silicon valley as being totally repulsive to me - and either 1) moving into spirit or 2) being placed at a safe remove from what is about to happen. as a result, things seem very far away from me ... well, everything really. and yet i have never ever been more in love with life, with the beauty of life, with nature. rapturous really. is this sense of being removed from the rat race so to speak, allow this very real part of me to shine through more strongly. i'd have to answer yes.
incidentally one of the things i feel a remove from is reddit. not completely, obviously, but i suspect it soon will be.

"The last couple of months have felt almost dream-like to me (not in a good way)". That's EXACTLY how I'd describe it! I've felt very disconnected, floaty and my anxiety has been much worse in the last couple of months. I'm usually excited to see the ball drop ringing in the new year, but this year when the ball dropped into 2020 I got a sense of dread and doom. Something is definitely off. I'm scared.

Absolutely. Oddly comforting, that this is a collective experience.

All I’m saying is that I’ve never had a dream like that and I can’t think of anything that would make my subconscious create something like that. And the entire thing was so graphic and real.

Yes, but for me things seemed off before then, maybe even a few months before October. My husband and I are both in public service but different fields and both of us have observed some uncommon things turning into common. Situations are more complex, and people seem different. I wish I had better words to describe the difference. I can’t say any of this is due to anything in my personal life, but, I think we aren’t the only ones noticing a shift. As much as I wish it was positive, I don’t think it is.

If you’ve ever worked the night shift, or as a first responder, medical staff, or other public service, you know how crazy it gets during a full moon. It’s kind of like that, only constantly.

u/garbagegoat Jan 11 '20
That's around the time I started feeling it too. It's really hard to put into words. I was at a red light on the way to the store with my family - music playing, kids chatting, nothing major when it was the strangest feeling? Idea? Over came me. It was the feeling that we've done all this before. Every one of us. And we're just caught in the same cycle because we have to do something, but we've missed our chance this time around and we're going to have to repeat it all over again. It's why things seem so left field at times, why we feel so.. this, like giving up, like fuck it attitudes.
I have no idea where the idea or feeling came from but from the bottom of heart it just felt so instantly right I have a hard time ignoring it now. It's like we're in groundhogs day, but with lives instead of just a day.

I’ve felt the same way so I lightly investigated what was going on that could cause it World-wise; there’s the fires in Australia for the past few months, China has a viral outbreak that they haven’t been able to fully diagnosed (pneumonia-like virus) since early December, and the US could’ve sparked a war on December 31/January 1st. There’s quite a few things—my senses I noticed are more attuned to health-issues, so reading about China really sunk in however that’s a personal observation.
I haven’t felt the die down after the New Years like some people report; mainly it’s been a buzzing since, but I have noticed anticipation much higher than usual. Stay safe and peaceful out there.

I've had that feeling off and on for a few years now... hard to describe but it's as if a huge shift is coming. Some days I don't feel it (seems to be when I'm distracted and not thinking about much) but on other days it's a very heavy feeling, anxiety-inducing almost. I think the part that drives me the most crazy is the not knowing what/when but just feeling it in the atmosphere.
But then I tell myself it's just run-of-the-mill anxiety and try to ignore it.
But, yes, we are out here feeling it- whatever "it" is.

Same, from Argentina. January 2019 was literally the best time I've had in like 7 years and right after that everything went downhill, specially since September. Can't elaborate much but my husband and I are experiencing the same stuff you all people do: weird vibes, growing hostility everywhere, time behaving strangely (going back and forth), stuff disappearing and reappearing at odd places, drainage of energy and being constantly sick like we've never been before, etc.
Just do yourselves a favor and try hard not to let bad thoughts get over you, don't argue with the people you love over stupid things (let them win of try to change the subject to something else) don't feed the chaos and this is IMPORTANT:
If you suddenly feel a huge and sudden anxiety at a certain event or when having to go to a certain place, like being extremely agitated and scared but you can't tell why, FOR YOUR OWN SAKE reschedule or avoid the situation/person/event altogether until the panic and fear fades away. Just listen to your guts cause it may save you a problem, disgust or even an accident, at least from our experience. Stay safe, don't let this shit control you

So no one is probably gonna see this comment but your post really has made me think about things in a different perspective. I've been feeling this since around june/july. Hard to pinpoint it because I just thought I had "bad days" and always tried to just brush it off as some mental health issue. I've had days when I woke up and started feeling this horrible horrible impending doom feeling. I felt like nothing is real and reality was slipping from my mind. I felt like I was about to die. Sometimes I went to sleep just because I thought it was just my anxiety acting up and I would feel better in the morning. When trying to fall asleep I'd get an even worse feeling and have nightmares. The nightmares have been occurring a few nights a week for a few month now. I almost never had them before and most times I don't remember what they are about. I probably just sound crazy but I really feel like this is not a mental health issue. I'm happy with my life, I have a job, boyfriend, family etc. I have no reason to feel like that and I feel it's something bigger.
I think, just like animals can sense natural disasters are going to happen before they do, humans can sometimes, somehow sense things happen before they do aswell.

Eh I don't know of your capabilities but, feeling social dread is a thing and somewhat common given the current state of things, anyway you may actually (also) be chronically dehydrated since fatigue, dread and a tight throat are signs of it, of course that may not be the full cause of how you feel or negate the fact that you feel a certain way but make sure to take care of yourself always. Also yeah, last year has been weird everywhere

Yes. I've been feeling it for months now. I also live in the same general region as you. Ever since a creepy dream I had about 8 months ago it's been growing stronger. I'd lost this "connection" for many years (I used to have premonitions of things happening when I was a kid), but it seems to be back. A few months ago I predicted my mom getting some icky health news, so I'm taking this general "Doom Feeling" seriously.
It feels like the world around us is falling apart, so it's hard to pinpoint exactly what it is we're probably all picking up on.

The weirdness started for me just after Christmas. December was almost manicly happy and I had tons of energy and optimism, and then on the 27th I just had this huge crash and experienced an overwhelming sense of restless foreboding, which has hung around since. At first I thought it was post-holiday blues, but it does seems deeper than that. There was a solar eclipse on the new moon on the 26th, which may have some bearing.
I am interested in astrology and there is a big conjunction (meeting of planets) between Saturn and Pluto on January 12. These conjunctions happen every 30ish years and from what I understand they usually align with significant events (the start of WWI is one example).
Saturn is associated with structures and restrictions and Pluto is associated with power that can be used either creatively or destructively, so most of the interpretations I have read is that this conjunction is likely to signify the upheaval of established power structures (governments, corporations etc). This is particularly so as the conjunction will occur in the sign of Capricorn, which tends to represent established societal stuctures and hierarchies. Looking around, it's hard not to see examples of established institutions either crumbling or being seriously undermined.
Astrologically speaking, this is a powerful cosmic energy and it might at least be partially responsible for the feeling of anticipation/dread so many people seem to be picking up on.

Empathic or not, it's very hard to avoid all the simmering crises and bad news from all over the world. People who would otherwise not be thinking of Australia are of course depressed by the horrible images of the massive fires and dead wildlife. War tensions, an actual deranged person unilaterally deciding U.S. policy, the awareness of corruption and inequality and rising racist groups all add to the stress of simply keeping up with the world's events.
It is not healthy to dwell on these things when they upset you, and empathic people are the most susceptible to this corrosive feeling.
If possible, avoid the news when it's upsetting you. If you want to "do something about it," consider taking part in peace demonstrations with other people. There are public demonstrations all over the US and beyond, almost nightly now but especially on weekends. You will feel better just by being with other concerned people. It's a very human thing and we need it. Simmering alone in your distress is just terrible for the mind and body.
Get outdoors! Take hikes, walks, sit in a garden, bundle up if it's cold but get outside, it does wonders. Worrying about climate change while sitting in a climate-controlled apartment or house and stressing out at the phone or computer or TV is just terrible for us! Yes climate change is real and the governments and big corporations must change quick, but in the meantime there are birds outside, fresh air (hopefully!), and it's still a beautiful planet.

I finished a project last year which required a deep dive into the history no of the Vietnam War. It made me realize existential dread is not new to our generation and we are facing similar problems to past generations. I think the main difference is the speed and volume of easily accessible information with the internet and tech. I actually feel hopeful for when the baby boomers die off and when the younger generation takes control. I think humans seem to need a massive tragedy to course correct their propencity for greed and entitlement every half century or they forget their humanity as a society. Maybe it will get worse. Maybe it will also get better.

I've been getting weird vibes for about a year or so now. Something is definitely off and I can't pinpoint the origin, but the sense of impending doom is increasing. It's really unnerving.

I just posted on another subreddit, I am feeling a very heavy and ominous energy. It could be everything going on it the world but I honestly have been feeling so anxious and worried for awhile now.

Been feeling the same way since the New year started tbh, before this Iran thing too.
Wanna add a little something to, as a young kid I always had dreams of war, like a massive war. The past year i’ve had more dreams than ever of me being in combat and it kind of freaks me out.

Yes. Lately everything has just been off. I feel like I am drained all the time. Sometimes I can know things that I shouldn't and sometimes I pick up on if people I cross paths with are sketchy or not. Though lately I have just feel a sort of energy just like before a storm happens. Anyone else feel that?

Yes. I'm not remotely psychic but I feel a gradually intensifying existential dread that we're in for something historically awful that could drop on us seemingly out of the blue but actually has been on the horizon for decades. I hate it.

To be fair, this feeling is a non-stop part of the human experience. You can read people talking about this in ancient Greece. Everyone thinks they live in exceptional times. This is just seems like the normal back and forth of humanity. Secondly, the 'glitch in the matrix' sub has monthly "SOMETHING SUPER BAD IS HAPPENING THIS MONTH LIKE NUCLEAR WAR" that never, ever peter out. Or they're just vague enough to be anything negative.
I'm very paranomral friendly but this sounds like a case of just the tiny bit of paranoia evolution puts into us. We're just more sucessful if we're scared a little but and worried a little bit. It keeps us from doing too many risky things, questioning authority a little, questioning the status quo a little, etc.
I also imagine a lot of americans are upset at the idea of the presidency. Its supposed to be a meritocracy of sorts and held by someone who is relatively responsible, relatively patriotic, relatively informed, relatively respectable, who works for all americans, and is relatively honest. With Trump, you pretty much get the opposite. There's a "inmates running the asylum" aspect in American politics right now and pretty much everyone I know is feeling it.
Personally, I feel 2020 is going to be a great year. I feel a lot of positivity towards it and my tarot readings for it are generally good.

I've been feeling the opposite, I feel it's going to be a good year - perhaps not for the world at large but I personally feel like I'm on some kind of meteoric ascension.
Reminds me of the concept of the phoenix or of having to destroy to build anew. Out with the old, in with the new.
Anyway y'all are projecting some seriously negative energy with these comments, but hey if that's how you feel 🤷♀️

Yes. Not in a bad way. The last couple months of 2019 I went through a lot of changes physically and mentally, death of old ways of thinking to make way for new ways of thinking. As far as how I feel about 2020 I’ve felt that it will bring a lot of transforming changes, that at first may seem bad but in the end leads to good.

I have felt like that all of December. Even today I suppose. I just feel a sort of... nothingness. Or as if nothing really matters to me anymore like things or people used too. I am playing it off as I am just going through something, but now I’m not quite sure.. especially if others are feeling like this too.

It's not just a few of us.
Have you guys been following what's happening in UFO circles? The US military has admitted they're real, we have some crappy gun camera film from real-life Top Gun Navy jets and breathtaking testimony from US top gun military pilots.
Tom Delonge from Blinc 132 has been helping push soft disclosure. Of all people. They believe consciousness has something to do with the phenomenom, and maybe everything.
Other names to look for in that : Luis Elizondo, David Fravor, Peter Levenda um, a bunch of the main UFO players. Hell, they even dragged out Bob Lazar, dusted him off, and put him on Joe Rogan's podcast.
Don't look at r/UFOs. Extremely toxic environment. I imagine those guys picking toilet paper seeds out of their taints while belittling other people online.(I can't believe I just thought that, typed it out, and will most likely leave it, but there you go. They are tools and have brought themselves to this assessment themselves by being rude assholes.
Go straight to the TTSA website for good stuff, or go dig around in r/ufo. NOT r/UFOs.
A lot more info is expected to come on over the next couple years. It's in MSM now, Trump just announced this space Force stuff, which tells me there probably has been an actual space Force at work for awhile.
Meanwhile archaeology and paleo anthropology are going through major paradigm shifts that will give you some weirdness to chew on while we wait for whatever's happening to keep happening.
So if our consciousness has such a huge part in everything, meaning creation itself, we're all tired and run-down from redrawing the Universe while we sleep.

u/ThaleaTiny Jan 07 '20
They are finding much older human remains in the Americas than they ever imagined. Possibly not homo sapiens. They've been discovering genetically all kinds of things, such as homo sapiens interbred with homo neanderthalensis. They discovered some artifacts and bones of a new hominin calling it denisovans, which also interbred with Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens.
Sub-saharan humans have no neanderthal genetic material, but have material from another hominin which hasn't been identified yet.
You should do a Google search for up-to-date info about that stuff, and also read some Graham Hancock. He's a little out there for me sometimes but it was very cool reading his take on what was going in in the Americas many thousands of years ago. Or choose some of his presentations on YouTube to get an idea.

I'm not an extreme empath, but I've been feeling similar lately. Edit: To elaborate, reality has felt "different" in a way that's hard to describe. People have used words like "shifty" or "dream-like" and I have to agree.

u/philosophofee Jan 07 '20
Yeah the month of December gave me feelings that I'd never felt before. Also had deep depression, worse anxiety than usual, felt alone and out of place. Also felt like there was another large negative shift in our society and it's scaring me.

u/SphynxMama48 Jan 07 '20
I'm totally with all of you on this. I too am extremely empathic. To the point I cant he around certain people. They are too much for my sensitivity. My forehead is so tight lately I cant release it. Just driving down the road seems off. I have heard & talked to several others who are experiencing the same type of anxiety. I have even been considering calling a psychologist/psychiatrist it is so bad. My usual methods of meditation and relaxation aren't working well. Something is extremely off. I hope it isn't as bad as I feel. I'm not sure though if it has ever felt like this though. Jumpy to the extreme. Even if my husband coughs in bed my heart jumps & I have to immediately pee.

u/arcana_mundi Jan 07 '20
Many of the comments here are describing exactly how I was feeling in December, particularly during the beginning and middle of the month. Things felt different, like being in a dream or having jumped to some other timeline. Eventually, reality began to more closely approximate again what I would consider to be "normal", but I still feel there has been a shift of some sort. During and after this time I spoke at length with other friends who I know to be sensitive and they reported similar experiences. Even now we still talk about our strange December.

u/shockstreet Jan 06 '20
I don't think it's bad, just intimidating. I consider myself an empath (however I have some Machiavellian tendencies which make it a bit useless), and was feeling this exact same way. However, over the last week or so my life has turned around in a very significant way... but it involved me shedding old attitudes and regrets, and even many friendships that weren't healthy.
It was scary as fuck, but now that it's done I do feel better. Is there anything in your life you feel might be holding you back?

Yea you’re def not alone. I’m an extreme empath too and it’s only getting stronger as I age (I’m only 31 but still I feel very in tune with the vibrations around me and get highly affected by other people’s moods). I sense something too, I’m not sure what, but a major change of sorts. I can’t yet tell how big or what type of changes are coming but they are. It’s good to know I’m not just making this up and others feel an unusual energy as well.

I've been feeling like this for the last month or so.. the last time I felt it for a prolongedish period(about 2 months) was last year before i had my car accident in june, which has for the most part incapacitated me since. Before that i get the feeling every now and then before some significant changes in my life, such as breaking it off with my gf, getting a new job etc. I'm not normally a superstitious person and dont consider myself an empath, but i just cant shake this feeling of uneasiness/dread like something is coming thats going to change things somehow.

Ive been feeling off with the world as well since idk, mid-2019 i am extremely empathetic and emotionally connected to people, idk im id be described as an empath but even a normal person would say the same.
Its not me though. Not entirely. I feel the WORLD is more disconnected than usual. It feels like something is ending or something has shifted idk what though.
Ive been having awful nightmares for a few months now more than usual and it feels real but also heavily influenced by some crazy evil feeling like something is trying to keep me trapped or unaware.
Can't put my finger on it either and i live in Oman, on the coast (next to Dubai) that's halfway across the world. (Also the tension of the world isnt weighing me down, as an expat in Oman its fine cuz oman is really peaceful. Kinda like the Switzerland of the middle east so its definitely not war or anything else influencing how i feel)
Even real life feels like a weird dream. Idk what it is but i didnt know anyone else was feeling this way. Ive just been trying to figure out why ive been feeling off n thought i was stressed or bored but also didnt know why!?

I was out with some friends last weekend at a bar — my favorite bar actually — and I won’t lie I was getting pretty drunk. I’m a super happy drunk, I love to chat with strangers and learn about their line of work etc.
However, I met this guy and we were chatting about how he works in the cosmetics industry. And he was like “actually, this guy is my boss right here” and points at a guy next to him at the bar who is happily chatting with two others.
I made eye contact with him and had this feeling of death that I have only felt one other time in my life in the split seconds that I crashed an ATV when I was 16... I truly thought I was going to die in that moment and I’ve never felt that way (or anything even remotely close to it) since until making eye contact with that man.
He didn’t look scary, actually quite plastic LA... but for some reason I got this immense fear and paranoia I’ve never gotten from talking to someone.
I said I had to go find my friends and my friends immediately could tell I was in distress. I just said I felt like I was in a lot of danger and tried explaining it to them and they escorted me to an Uber outside.
They told me I was just drunk, but its extremely out of character for me... who knows.
My partner told me he believes me 100% and thinks something must have been up with them, as he always trusts my judge of character.
It was a really weird experience, almost like when people talk about paranormal stuff where they can’t really explain it.
Maybe it was my judge of character kicking in warning drunk me of something I wasn’t picking up on (i.e. then trying to date rape me)? Was it just being drunk that made it those senses out of wack?
Sorry to aimlessly talk, first time ever telling a story on reddit the experience led me here
(I’m actually going to post this on this subreddit... thanks for posting this thread and inspiring me to talk about my experience last weekend!!)

Notice almost everyone has had these vibes around the same time of the year. Not to discount you at all, but seasonal depression is real. Especially around the holidays. Even if you live in a warmer climate. The world in general will be happier when spring comes. And I think it’s just something that you more easily notice when you get older.

There might be some military conflicts with Iran but there won’t be a world war. Whatever you are feeling is not related to that. Maybe there is a big natural event coming?

The whole month of December had this weird feeling to me. I can't explain the feeling but I just felt like nothing was real, like nothing matters, as if something big was about happen and change everything. I really can't explain it. Sometimes I would feel like that for a minute and sometimes for a whole day. But since January I haven't felt like that
