Thank you!
It's getting harder for me to disconnect as I get older now though. I'm off my bipolar meds, I'm (40 something
), having More trouble with the mood swings as it is....could that be making me more "sensitive" too, as far as the empath thing goes? It seems to be that one is feeding off the other. Like, the more I have trouble with the rapid cycling, the more I'm aware of my surroundings. I can barely even watch the news anymore to see what the weather is going to be like without hearing about all the evil in the world and being extremely upset about it!
