Empath

I am reblogging this as its my opinion so many who end up with diagnostic labels from psychiatry are actually more awake than those who continue along fine in a shut down culture. I wish there was more awareness around empathy and high sensitivity.

I have my struggles in this life in regards to being able to provide for myself. Nevertheless I still see and experience hope, joy, peace, and love. I have a deep appreciation for nature and all life forms. Nowadays I don’t like labeling my struggles as Mental Illness because it has negative connotations. I don’t like labels in general. I prefer to use a more positive lens by calling myself an Empath.

"The religious naturalist is provisioned with tales of natural emergence that are, to my mind, far more magical than traditional miracles. Emergence is inherent in everything that is alive, allowing our yearning for supernatural miracles to be subsumed by our joy in the countless miracles that surround us." Ursula Goodenough How to describe oneself? People are a mystery and there is so much more to us than just our particular experiences or occupations. I could write down a list of attributes and they still might not paint a complete picture pf Deborah Louise and in any case it would not be the full truth of me. I would say that my purpose here on Wordpress is to express some of my random experiences, thoughts and feelings, to share about my particular journey and explore some subjects dear to my heart, such as emotional recovery, healing and astrology while posting up some of the prose/poems which are an outgrowth of my labours with life, love and relationships. If anything I write touches you I would be so pleased to hear for the purpose of reaching out and expressung ourselves is hopefully to connect with each other and find where our souls meet.

  1. I agree with you so much Deborah. Why do human beings always have a need to label others? It isn’t only with regard to mental illness, but all sorts of other things too. I could name some. But stereotyping is a cruel and horrible thing, that fails to treat the other as a full human being. Sad!

  3. I definitely like this take on things too, even though it’s not always accepted within the empath/highly sensitive community. I mean, I wanted to join a group for discussing high sensistivity in depth and disclosed in my introductory post that I’d been diagnosed with mental illness And autism. I was soon kicked out of the group for being too unique.

    1. Astrid there is a great Facebook group called The Awakened Empath community. You may find a lot of support and like minded people there too. I was going to write a post about it a while back but I held off for some reason. Reason I am saying this is that (as you know) only empaths really understand each other the best. hugs and love ❤
