Jan. 20th, 2002 09:41 amDisclaimer: This is going to sound odd, and those who are not comfortable with the ideas of large-scale empathy, "sensitives", and precognition may want to stop reading now.
For several months, I have been trying to deal with my own emotional problems, as well as balance out and sort out those stemming from the multiple disasters occuring in this country and others. I am empathic, and since I was already in a shaky frame of mind when things started hitting, I have had little ability to distance myself. However, I was finally starting to recover from the intense overload, and get my feet back under me...until a few days ago. Around early to mid week, my tension and frustration level suddenly skyrocketed. At first, I put it down to worries over school, and someone in my day to day life who had pushed some boundaries best left alone. But it seemed out of proportion. I wouldn't have thought much else about it, but casually talking to two other friends brought out that they were experiencing similar problems, in the same time frame. At least two of us are precogs as well as empaths.
At this point, I got mildly worried, and quite curious, and contacted my mother, to see if she had noticed anything. She had. Clients long gone were reappearing with panic problems, and 3 new people had shown up with crises to be handled immediately in the previous 30 hours, about the time frame I was looking at at the time. Both of these counting as quite unusual.
Since then, I have found 2 other friends who are noticing in themselves patterns of anxiety, irritability, depression, and/or anger, with marked increases or onset within the last few days.
Perhaps I'm paranoid, but I think this shouldn't be ignored. Whether, as one friend suggested, it is just the "sensitives" reading the state of the people and atmosphere around them, and magnifying it, or, as another suggested, it _is_ an impending crisis, but one brought on by what happens when you overload all the sensitives in a country for months on end, or it is a precognitive warning of something big and nasty outside of our immediate control, I think it matters that we notice.
Now, it's easy to spot problems in hindsight, and I worry that by bringing this up, people will take a moment of frustration and try to link it to a larger picture, and start a worse cycle. But I also think that sometimes our emotions and dreams, or lack thereof, are warnings, and I wanted to put this out there, and see if other people had noticed anything, felt anything, or had further suggestions and ideas.
