Weird Experiences

What's sometimes worse with all this, my friend who also has DID but does not have any of the problems decribed here, laughs at me!!!! Everytime something weird happend with my computer she just thinks it's funny and says, "you're the only one these thngs happen to." I love my friend and in every other way she's awesome, but with this, she's a stinker. i think she thinks because it doesn't actually harm me, I should just laugh it off, but it is very upsetting and it's not funny when you have to call someone in to fix the flipping computer.... again!!!

This is called being ungrounded. It is not something you should just "laugh off." Basically meditating on your feet will help solve this. You should only be feeling other people's emotions WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO. In other words if you have no control over your empathy you are going to feel like you're be assaulted all the time.

Also one of the best books on the subject is called Empowered By Empathy by Rose Rosetree.

Hi Miri
I'm sorry your friend just laughs at this experience. I know it's upsetting to have it.
My T told me I was also an empath ....add that to killing small electronics, and I feel like a Star Trek charactor.
I seem to physically feel someone elses emotions. Sometimes it is physically very painful too.
We can relate. Please don't feel bad when your friend does that.

Hey Miri,
you are not alone. The psychic feeling and abilities i experience heavily. I have been trying to find help. The only help i have found is through talking with my higher power. And as far as lights blowing out. Well, that happens to many people. There are different ideas as to why they believe. I go to another forum based on psychic thought and discussion. I am unsure as to what we are aloud to write, but the key word is indigo.
They call certain people indigo children. ALthough they are called indigo children, some are adults. These are people born with some kind of psychic ability. On that forum I often see them say the lightgo off on them or watches won't work. Some say it is our energy system and that is bursts of energy that cause it. But who knows.
If you have never heard of the indigo, crystal or starseed children try those for searches. I do warn some of the pages have extreme new age ideas. So I do not believe it all. I was also thinking of going to school for metaphysics to learn my psychic abilities better.
I haven't read al the messages in response, but i have had trouble feelings other emotions and seeing their thoughts. I got a stone I want to use to see if it helps. It is cavansite or somethinglike that. It is blue. I like rocks.
oh and as far as reading people close to you, i think it is harmful. I think we often get false impressions and these are based on our fears. I have since decided to ignore my impressions from my hubby and ask for the truth. I ask. I say i am having a fear that you are mad at me. then he will say no, i am not mad at you. a fly just landed in my drink.
I think we often cannot put our fears aside to read our closest loved ones accurate. this doesn't mean it canot be done. But, when i started getting mad for myhubbys thoughts i knew i was going to far. he was trying to think of how to say something so it would come out right. well he thought of it wrong first and i got mad at his thought. It was unfair of me.
And now i sound off the wall but there are people who believe in these things and do not think you are weird for it. but i don't want to get kicked off forum. i usualy say something wrong. i need this forum so i am gonna quit writing for now

Thank you so much for posting! Agree with what you say about reading people - I don't want to! sometimes I just get stuff and it isn't always from someone who is close to me. I wonder how often that i feel unsettled, it is actually coming from someone outside of me. however, I've had connections with people not in close proximity so I'd never be able to figure it out. Sometimes a person will come into my mind very strongly, maybe i haven't even thought of that person in months, even years, and it getsme wondering wjhat is happening in their lives in that moment. I've had a psychic tell me that I'm more psychic than i realize, but i don't want this! It's confusing and you're right, it is too easy to get things wrong or make incorrect assumptions.
I'm going to look up the things you suggested - i am curious, obviously. Maybe i can't avoid this. Maybe i need to learn to make some kind of place for it in my life, but i'm not going to delve deeply into it. I have fears around it, too. If you wish to speak more freely, please PM me. I'm always interested in what others have to say. I trust myself enough to know when to put up boundaries. Anyway, I'm glad you posted. Miri

Miri - this has also been true for me. I had to be taught how to ground and block. take care!

Hi
I have read all the posts here. I am new. and I am not DID. I have lived with DD though. Lots of fragmentation and also very HSP, if anyone knows what that means. I do not think that anyone is freakish or anything like that. gifted? yes. I do think that energies can be pretty strong with some gifted people..... enough so when in fear or excitement etc it can blow lightbulbs. I used to break watches when I was young. Now I can wear them every now and again. I empath horrifficly. Everything. Its very challenging. Especially because i am classic HSP and fragmented. So a fragmented part of myself who is very young and very HSP runs the show when I get scared etc. Again this is not DID. Of that I am sure.

Anyway, I respect everything that has been said here. I think that everyone who has posted has talked about gift. Even though gifts have flip sides that can be veryyyyyyy hard to manage and painful. I also think that DID is creative and brilliant. Painful often, and very challenging, but none the less, brilliant. thanks for the posts. I hope to be able to find help and support here in these forums. Blessings

I hope you find support here, too, and think you will. Forgive, must ask, what is HSP? It does not matter, but i am insatiably curious!
thank you for your post. I hear what you are saying about giftedness, in fact, I refer to life as a "terrible gift." Well, that attitude should be no surprise considering why i am here! Yes, i find that being very empathic is hard, but moreso when i don't know the source of the emotions. Do you have a way of managing that, that would help me?

Sunset... I too am HSP (and if i may translate for those wondering, it is Highly Sensitive Person, which - as most lables, doesn't do justice to the way life is lived; sensitive to sound, touch, feeling, energy, food, and other realms (depending on person). For example, i have the hearing of a canine. So I hear things that are several blocks away and think they are happening in my living room *sigh*).
Yes - I too have been taught that these are "gifts"... and had to learn to not let them take over. For example, one was hearing other realms - spirits - many of them struggling. My seminary dean (very very open and fantastic seminary dean, also HSP, intuitive, and energy reader) had to teach me that I am not a 7-11; not open to whoever at all times of day. That i could chose when and who had access to me. I was getting a lot of distrubances (sort of in the poltergeist range) and really needed help. I have had to learn that I cannot work with that (for lack of a better term) "population" of spirit. It was driving me crazy and toward sui. I had to learn to surround myself in light and only allow beings of the light to be with me - at all times. Not to say that I haven't dabbled in the realms of "ghost whisperer" and helped some cross over. but it is now My Choice - not theirs. Gives me much more peace of mind/spirit/body. Those who know me here well know that I do not need any extra "help" being destructive/sui.
Having worked disaster relief in New Orleans after Hurrican Katrina, one entity "came home" with me, housed in my body. I even know where that entry happened. I was horrified by what i saw and re-traumatized. I was unblocked, ungrounded, totally unprepared to go into an area where there was still such wreckage, devistation, and un-found bodies. That entity stayed with me the remaining time i was there, and when i returned home, that entity was LIVID that people were eating all around us and this person, now deceased, could not. The entitiy wanted to bodily rip the food from my family members' mouths and tear them to shreads (such was the anger and violation of having been ripped from life by the storm surge) - using my body to do so. I had to excuse myself before "I" hurt them. I had to have my seminary dean help me help this person cross over and release me. It was a trying process, but one I couldn't go without. Hope that is not TMI.

Hi Miri
Well Kiya let you know exactly what HSP is. If you would like more information about it, you can google. There is actually a very good book written about it. And info on the web.
You wanted to know about managing the empathic thing. Here's what I was taught. you can imagine protection roses around yourself. Ask them to protect you. They will. In the UK they put a protection bubble around themselves. I figure that both things work equally well. I am undiciplined, sad to say. Or maybe I just put myself last. So I forget to do it. But I am positive it works. In class before they taught us to use protection roses, they used divining rods (that dowsers use) they had us use them with and without putting up the roses. we could tell by the way the divining rods turned that there was a big difference when the protection roses were being used. As I said, imagining a bubble of protection and light around oneself is very good also. There probably are many methods. I just know of those two.

Kyia, not tmi at all. Sounds like you have a wise and wonderful teacher. What gifts you have !! and very difficult to manage at times. As far as the "entity" that climbed aboard, I understand totally what you are talking about. Fear drugs and alcohol are amongst the easiest ways that the beings can attach. Your depiction of it was pretty dramatic. And a good one. Often they are not quite that intense. But the one that attached himself to you was not a happy camper at all. You handled it so remarkably well though. I am really impressed.

From what i have heard, when we truely are in our body, it makes it much harder for beings aka entities to attach. i used to pick them up all the time. Slightly different and not as dramatic at all.

Recently I took a class with a teacher who is highly psychic. She asked everyone how they are doing. when she came to me, I said good. She said oh thats great, because you are an indicator for the rest of the world. So if you are good that means that a lot of people are doing well right now. Ahhhhhh the eternal empath. I pick up on the collective consciousness and internalize it. fun. Being a very wounded HSP is not a lot of fun though. Life becomes a mine field. Add to it a kind of split off when I was very very young and I go into the very young wounded terrified hsp...... but I am an adult. I really want to heal that.

I used to see and feel and hear for the people I was helping. But the people I was helping had so much going on that over time my whole body became increasingly effected. I had to stop the seeing and hearing. But I still cannot stop the feeling. Empathing is something I cant seem to control. I clear my body out with what I call vacume roses. There are many different methods to clear energies ect from the body and field.

I hope what I said was okay and not a trigger to anyone. Really I think its just part of life. Not at all scary. Part of life. There is a guy who is a spiritual teacher who says "thank you for being born" So I will leave with that message for you all.

sunsetsunrise -so much resonates, i will just parse here and there and write in bold.... lol

*Sounds like you have a wise and wonderful teacher. Yes - thankfully! She also happens to be a multiple.
*Often they are not quite that intense. i wish i could say the same... this is why my teacher had to take me aside and start instructing was was surely not on the syllabus!
*From what i have heard, when we truly are in our body, it makes it much harder for beings aka entities to attach. i used to pick them up all the time. Yes - my T's and spiritual teachers have been trying to teach me this.... when i go get to go to psychic class, my other teacher keeps picking them off my shoulders lol. These are far less intrusive than they *used* to be. now they are (just) like Harry Potter Dementors, sapping my strenght and weighting down this body.
*She said oh thats great, because you are an indicator for the rest of the world. So if you are good that means that a lot of people are doing well right now. I pick up on the collective consciousness and internalize it... wow - i have been told something similar - but kinda the flip side... that i am (and pls don't read into this something of "biblical" proportions) a prophet. That was hard to hear. but what it means is that, like you reflecting the collective conscious feelings, i am reflecting the mood of unrest and am the voice of change *gulp* - for you and me... no pressure, eh?! @_@
*fun. Being a very wounded HSP is not a lot of fun. lol... yeah... about that...
*Add to it a kind of split off when I was very very young and I go into the very young wounded terrified hsp...... Yessss.... skin on fire, can't barely stand touch or wear clothes, noise is like a scalpel on the mind, light burns thru the eyes turning migraines into fire, food becomes inedible (but those are just the REALLY bad days).
*but I am an adult. I really want to heal that. meeee toooo.... if poss.
*I used to see and feel and hear for the people I was helping. yeah i used to do this too... used to heal other others... was in class...
*I had to stop the seeing and hearing. but it was too painful. being a wounded healer can really hurt until one does healing work. I would know where a person's pain was in their body because i would feel it in mine. Same even in dreams.
*There are many different methods to clear energies ect from the body and field. I've not heard of protection with roses - that's interesting. I do work with bubbles of safety - making them unbreakable and nothing can get through. And with light when I am really scared. Or stuffies to protect =) or stones because I find them grounding. glad this thread was started =)

I can so relate to all the stuff written in this thread although it does not all happen to me. For me I often project my fears or insecurity onto another. Such as the example of The husband being mad at us but really he has a fly in his drink. Other times I find out I am right about what I am feeling. That another person is indeed thinking/feeling exactly what I thought they were. This really irritates them. So I am working on not acting on this info. , I am working on not interrupting anyone. Even if I am right they don't like it. Sometimes it just seems so long for them to say what I feel I already know. The flip side of the coin is that sometimes I can't for the life of me put into words my thoughts and this drives my husband crazy. I am beginning to think this aspect of thought is not just a D.I.D. thing.

Watches, could never keep one running more than 3 months. My husband got mine fixed for me for Christmas. I had to stop wearing it, it was making my skin have a rash. It was not a cheap watch. So far it is still running but I am not wearing it much... we'll see.

Deb et al.

DLH - yes, same here with knowing others thoughts/feelings, but not being able to put my own into words.... drives my T crazy.
sam with me and watches - the batteries die in 3 months. I stopped wearing them. Thankfully my cell phone and puter have not been hurt.

Kiya, I do relate to so much that you say, also.
* i am reflecting the mood of unrest and am the voice of change *gulp* - for you and me... no pressure, eh?! @_@
my teacher of 17 years says that she has never met anyone who sees the light in people...... and of course the dark, as much as I. I pick up on embalances. and yes, the plan is that I am supposed to help shift it. The thing I worry about is that I am pretty stuck in the 3rd dimension. My heart just breaks. Sounds like your teacher is awesome. How fortunate you are !!!

*Yessss.... skin on fire, can't barely stand touch or wear clothes, noise is like a scalpel on the mind, light burns thru the eyes turning migraines into fire, food becomes inedible (but those are just the REALLY bad days).
that sounds really hard. I am sensitive to pain. But I do not have what you have. Although someone I love very deeply, as a mommy of the heart has some of that stuff. And yes they are DID. They burn when someone touches them. The mirgaines, in addition to the normal switching pain (cranials) which is constant. They are very hsp. And awesomely wonderful. And i am not biased as a mommy. They really are that wonderful !!

*used to heal other others... was in class...
Yep, I do healing work as well as a healer. Just kinda comes naturally. But I did study it a bit. Was at the naturopath a few days ago. She was a bit thrown off balance. So I helped her clear out her office. And then at the end of the apt I did a little healing for her. She felt better. Until recently I volunteered once a week at a free healing clinic. Free healings. I loved doing it. Recently things fell apart. So i am taking a break from being a healer. I work with angels and other helpers. I just must learn to remember to protect myself and clear myself out often of other peoples energies etc that I take on.
*I would know where a person's pain was in their body because i would feel it in mine. yes!!!!!! After each healing we give a bit of feedback to whomever we did the healing for. Sometimes I would hear or see. But more often, I would feel. Sometimes I would not know what my healing master and psychic surgeon did until I was telling the person. I would feel in my body what they did and then I would give the info to the person. Makes me laugh. But really its painful. Especially because I do help people in general. And I just take it all on. Eventually my body burned out by the way. Has your teacher suggested to you that we really take on in others what we already carry someplace in ourselves???
* I do work with bubbles of safety - making them unbreakable and nothing can get through. And with light when I am really scared. Or stuffies to protect =) or stones because I find them grounding.
I used to have a big handbag that I would put my stuffies in when I needed to bring them someplace. My stuffed family. (smiles) I like the idea of the stones. In the dicipline that I studied, they suggested that if we can be in the center of our head, we will be grounded. They taught how to do that. In the UK they suggest that people grow roots from the bottoms of their feet and secure them to rocks inside the earth.The do that in addition to the bubble. I dont live in the UK.

One of the best things I have found for bringing in more light is to imagine myself in a beautiful good loving crystal. with all the colors of the spectrum. I breathe in the colors through all my body. Even the cells.

Also another thing I thought up is to imagine myself surroudned by a rose. literally inside of it. breathing in its seent, its vibration. Same can work for a tree in a different way. Another awesome thing i discovered is to put the image of a rose, or other flower on my computer. in windows picture viewer. then keep zooming in until i can feel a shift of being inside the flower. I also do it with trees. The shift is amazing. I can feel it strongly. ahhhhhhhh

Thank you for this thread. its great. My hope is that I will really do what I came to do. For myself as a soul as well as for humankind. I hope I will be able to. Doing for others is secondary. Healing the self is the real gift we can give to humankind. or thats what I think anyway.

Deb et al * For me I often project my fears or insecurity onto another. I do that also. but I allow others to always be the authority over me. How they define me is how I am. This is a big minefield for me. Unlike you and Kiya, I take everything personally. Bad trait.

I think i said that while i am not DID, I have lived with DD. I am going to have to heal the splitting off I did as a very young child. Cuz it has made life way too wacky for me. Being an adult who goes into the terror of a wounded terrified child has made life impossible to live. Especially when i am a singleton Blessings
