I am humbly requesting a reading, and am actually quite a ball of nerves (I have difficulty asking for help or insight!)

I am a female, born 11/29.  If I may, I'd love to give a little background.

For as long as I can remember, and I can remember events from before I could walk, I've been different.  Adults were either scared of me, or wanted to tell me everything and seek my advice.  It was very strange.  I suffered from what I can only describe as depression, although I did not have any real reason to be depressed.

Fast forward to the present, and I am having major difficulty with feeling depleted. Waves of sadness will overwhelm me to tears in a moments notice, and I feel as though my personal space is always being invaded.  Honestly, even my dog will not leave my side...it reminds me of when my children were little and I couldn't even go to the bathroom without a guest...the dog is the same way now.

I've started to wonder if I am an empath that has never been taught to ground and protect. Yes, I am very intuitive and way too many people want to tell me things I would rather not hear.  The strange moments of panic and fear come and go in waves.
My dreams are getting more and more strange as well.

So, for a question...what is this black energy that seems to have attached itself to me?  Am I crazy or an empath? LOL (that was a nervous LOL) I had to take a day off from work today just so I could get some time away from all the sadness and emotions and regroup.

Thank you so much for taking time to read my long post, and thank you for any insight you might be able to give.

Yes i do feel that you are very sensitive to people's feelings and it takes a huge toll on you. Do you have any interest in poetry or art? If so that would serve as a great outlet for both the emotions you feel and the ones you feel off others. Also take some time to yourself whether it be a short walk or a full blown vacation just do whatever you feel is necessary when you need that "you time".

Thank you Stardust...yes, I am very sensitive to other people's feelings and it seems that lately I can't shake it off.  Vacation?  What is that?  LOL...I hope to plan some me time soon.
