Empath. Taking Control 
Chpt 1

What does it mean being an Empath?

     Empath: A person with the paranormal ability to apprehend the mental or emotional state of another individual. 

     Wow, apprehending mental or emotional state. I feel like apprehend is a word of control. I wish it was so simple that a person could control feeling other peoples feelings. Speaking for myself being an Empath has been more of a curse rather than a gift. 
     In the begging it started out with me simply knowing what people was thinking by looking at them. Then I actually started taking on peoples emotions and problems as if they was my own. Thats when my gift turned into a curse that ruled my life. 
     I am wanting to write this to help others like me to know the whole truth of what you are going through and how to handle it. While I am still learning things myself I feel there is so much more that everyone needs to know. There is many things online ranging from its basically in our mind to its nothing but evil taken over us. Im here to tell you its definatley not in my mind and I am far from evil. I am a wife, mother, friend and I have many more roles that I play. Being an Empath has tremendously affected my life though. Because there was no one for me to turn to about this I did not know what it would do to me and how to handle it. When I finally found out what was going on I was scared. I couldnt believe I had been living my life as other people. Sometimes I would think I was crazy. Why was I having anger about things that did not pertain to me? Why couldnt I even go to the mall without being overwhelmed to the point of having panic attacks? I could not go around crowds without being overwhelmed. Its a horrible feeling.
