Empath Fatigue - How to Cope When You Are EXHAUSTED!

I'm so emotionally exhausted from being an emotional dumping ground for people's selfishness and negativity...its hard not to become bitter Betty..

Putting boundaries is very, very hard. Hope it gets better for you

I can definately recognize myself in what you are feeling. You are not alone. We need to fight it the best we can. Maybe that's why we are watching this channel.

[@callizto1964]

I know, and never getting good sleep combined with feeling like I need to help people all the time can be just too much

I have learned so many painful lessons being an empath.... especially from victims. They want sympathy but they don’t want to change- they just want to drain you.

[@sxyteesa0890]

That part smh they just want your energy to feel temporarily better

[@F15CEAGLE1]

I've learned over the many years at work that some people don't really even want your input, they just want someone to listen to them.

[@D.E.Middleton]

The gift is worth the cost. Process the events and learn to put them down. Don’t tolerate fools. Focus your gift on those who deserve it. It takes practice. Thanks Stephanie.

[@MMShelzy]

Okay. I will start doing what you said. That's great advice. Thanks, Sir.

[@patricialangeveld1227]

Sometimes family members take advantage of me because I take on their problems. My oldest sister is a very selfish narcicist and usually only calls me when she is having health problems etc. I have just stopped calling or texting her because she totally drains me. I have started paying more attention of self care and caring about people who really deserve it! Great video!!

[@WeAreStrongwithJesus]

I’m sensitive to caffeine I wake up at every little sound People drain me Have to have down time or I’ll go batty I’m a homebody I don’t enjoy talking so much but when with a rare kind of person, I can talk for hours! I hate crowds I am so particular I feel very misunderstood I am sensitive to animals as well I want to help people when they are distressed and used to do that all the time in my younger years until I had enough pain - they didn’t appreciate the time, energy and spirit I set forth when helping so now I don’t help as much! Narcissists are attracted to me!!!!! Get away! Now I can see them coming since I have been learning and researching more. I have become more empowered through videos like yours and some others, and I am so happy to see more clearly! Thank you for your videos. 💗

[@Autumn-x3b]

I'm starting to believe I'm a empath I have always felt different even when I was growing up around certain negative people and situations. I became guarded because I thought being that way would protect me. I never allowed negative people to influence me I always did the right thing. Now that I have seen what a toxic relationship can do to me I'm learning to love myself and have standards/boundaries. I enjoy learning about the good in life and now I realize my energy only connects with good genuine people 💙 I enjoy your videos your the best!

[@gordanagorscak3334]

I hear you... I am totally into boundary setting and sticking to these boundaries. Yes, it is difficult.what helped me most, obviously through most of these life coaches on KZbin here and especially Stephanie was recognizing that when I said no or set boundaries and shut there be a case of somebody getting upset over but my boundaries were, chances are they are so many that should not be or doesn't deserve to be in my life. Do what is good for you, it is not selfish to be true to self.it's almost just a good way to read that people or people that are not good for us out of our lives by using this principle.people who truly care for you and respect you the same way that you respect them, will admire you for setting your boundaries, they will admire you for respecting yourself. It's easier said than done because trust me, I am still struggling with this. Say no, but most importantly to is not offering an explanation.we are adults now and do not have to give an explanation as to why something is not good for us. I'm going on a little bit here but your comment resignate it with me because it is what I have trouble with.I simply say no now and just do not offer a reason as to why I'm saying no because quite frankly, it is nobody's business. God bless and keep well my friend 🙏

[@glory5260]

Omg I am 52 and I never understood why I felt the sadness that other people felt. I am this person. This was so enlightening.

[@oscarwilliamson1264]

Glory,Be proud of yourself ❤️ ok

[@thedygrace4451]

Your explanation is 100% related with me. I often feel drained and exhausted when so many people around me and often I feel like sponge too where I can suck everyone’s negative energy. To recharge my energy usually I isolate myself, totally alone and listening to healing meditation music.

[@fightingfiresusa2961]

Wow, thank you Stephanie♥️ Yet another piece of my self~puzzle. I just recently found out I’m a “Lucid Dreamer”. I’m always aware I’m dreaming to the point where I can change my dreams. I’ve always kicked myself for being the kind of person you described. Wanting to be like my brother who is more logical and can’t feel the things around him but, I realize this is who I am and there’s a reason for me. I’ve spent years hearing people say I was overly sensitive as if it was a very bad thing. That’s where self doubt starts. I guess we have to find a way around all that and learn to love ourselves just the way we are, exhausting or not. Thank you for your videos Stephanie :) I wish I could come see your seminar. Much love to everyone ♥️

[@lynnerickson758]

Love alone time. Yes take on others feelings like my own

[@carlitah74]

I'm Empathic and I use to wonder too why I was so tired, but since I know that now I try to take measures to help myself. I love my alone time. I have a hard time getting to sleep and staying asleep. I've started trying to do things to help me with that.

Totally relate to being a very light sleeper and not feeling rested. Also, I stopped drinking coffee and lowered sugar intake. I also notice lately that I am really sensitive to fabric against my skin. This is just a recent development and I try to wear linen and cotton but now I'm noticing that some linen is scratchy. I live alone and find that this is vital for me. I need a great deal of alone time with as much silence as possible. Avoid crowds and loud people and situations.

Being aware of our emotions and understanding why we are feeling how we are feeling is absolutely important. It’ll help us boil down to what needs to be done to make ourselves happy and feel better. From a self love content creator to another- awesome video Stephanie. Btw; you look gorge. 😍

[@pandoravictoria7821]

My husband and son are very in tune with other people's energy and they hate crowds, I find myself and 1 of my daughters avoiding crowds now more then ever as well.

[@leannekjennerk5164]

I remember every dream! and sometimes it feel like you're awake and dreaming. Falling asleep and staying asleep is like an art form.

[@d.b.g9216]

Great video, I have really worked on this for about a decade now and am very attuned to my body/ mind when it starts to yell at me ….enough…!!😂, I make sure I really take heed now, and do as you suggest, I either take a break, stop listening to the same person going on and on about their issues, or to try to fix everything and to try to be there for everyone and solve their problems. I don’t think I’ll ever really stop caring or wanting to help people tbh, but now I recognise my own signs of getting too involved, being too empathetic and the damage it has caused me in the past that I don’t want to repeat

Wow this really resonates with me , thank you Stephanie . I’m everyone’s dumping ground, friends, family and a 15 year narcasisic parner , it’s all about them !!! Sometimes I wonder if I’m invisible to all of them. I’m constantly exhausted in every sense, physically and mentally , I’m a very light sleeper to the point I hear my cat the minute she steps into her litter tray , I also remember all my dreams . Everyone thinks I’m a high energy person but I’m not, I run on my adrenaline . I also can’t wait to be alone, just me and my cat. Hate the TV and even the radio kind of bugs me . Your description of yourself sounds like me !!!

[@j.r.1823]

I absolutely need that alone time as well. I take naps almost every day when I can - I rarely sleep but just rest in my bed in the dark and it is so recharging, I love that time! TV and other noise feels too much for me quickly as well. I struggle oftentimes when my kids and husband are at home all day, it just gets too much for me having them around all the time, even though I love them. Thank you for the reminder to take good care of ourselves! ❤️

[@F15CEAGLE1]

Yes--I put on my cpap and cover my head with a coat and keep a fan blowing at me. This is idling for me even if I don't sleep.

Thank you for this video. It’s just what I needed today. I am an ICU nurse and am feeling absolutely exhausted to my core with all this madness in the world today. My doctor suggested antidepressants, however i don’t feel that’s the solution. My body/soul is having a natural reaction to what’s happening, therefore I’m looking for coping skills or supplements. Thank you for the magnesium suggestion!

[@Skyrie87]

I’m so glad that I found you! Listening to your videos is so therapeutic for me. I was a very deep sleeper until I became an adult. I usually remember my dreams and often wake up when they’re too intense. I need and love my alone time.

[@jessicamieres2696]

So happy that you posted this... I feel the same way when I am around my parents. Their energy is usually low and depressive and after I leave them I cry most of the time. Its a sadness that creeps up inside when its not mine to begin with. Its hard because they are family, but I am learning to put boundaries and protect my soul. Thanks again for sharing. Love your channel. 🙏😀

[@carolinemau6824]

I’m the same way! I have so much trouble sleeping. I used to hate alone time. It would make me so anxious and so I always had to have the tv on just for background noise. Once I started dealing with some of my anxiety issues (what was behind them), I learned to soothe those issues and now love my quiet time!

[@amysheely]

Yes! I am a wreck if I don't get enough quiet and down time. It's taken me years to understand, prioritize and honor my needs so that I can be the person I want to be out in the world, when I choose. This is great video. I love the tid-bit on nutrition too - we totally are what we eat! At least, I am. Thanks so much Stephanie. I am really appreciating your clarity and well-spoken, HELPFUL messages!! Big hug to you!

Feels good I'm not the only one that has this. I wish I learned this years ago (always told to toughen up). This was extremely helpful video ...thanks again.

[@rahilaferoze9099]

True. I need alone time, everyday. Even before I knew what an Empath was and that I'm one, I have practicing giving myself alone time daily. I just did it cause it made me feel good and I was always into knowing myself better and working on my personality. Can't function without alone time!

Last October I finally, after 19 years, left my emotional abuser. Never having that time for me ,I feel almost drove crazy! I never understood what was wrong with me until I watched this video. Thank you Stephanie for this mind blowing realization! When your recovering from co-dependency it is hard not to beat your self up for being caring and helpful etc... Watching two of these videos about empath made me realize that had been thinking I was wrong for having these qualities but now I see they are my strengths and who I am as a person. #smilingwide

[@BCHODOSH01]

I know i am an Empath , and a HSP! I have been that way since birth.You described me to a "T". Yes, i remember my dreams, and upon awaking try to understand what they were about,and why did i dream about that. Definitely need quiet and alone time. Naps and music are very important to calm me. I am very much affected by others moods,and things they are dealing with. Making and enforcing boundaries has always been difficult for me, and is one of the reasons i attract toxic people and relationships. Thank you for your views and help with this topic. Looking forward to your next video. You are an Earth Angel.

[@bwaldsch23]

As a Sigma High Empath and an HSP, I'm accustomed to and prefer to be alone (especially when I'm not around like-minded people). I prefer to be with people particularly when it's with my wife and kids. Narcissists have taught me to trust no one and question everyone and everything.

[@2024olivia]

Hi 👋🏻 I’m binge watching your videos right now, they’re so helpful. Thank you so much! I’m a highly sensitive empath and consistently remember my dreams too! Some of them have even come true in waking life. They’re extremely vivid and I receive messages too. ❤️

[@fundamental1020]

I used to teach young medical students how to have compassion but not empathy. Empathy made them unable to return to the hospital to that dying patient. To help the patient they must have and show compassion but remain not feeling they too are dying of cancer, etc. It is a hard skill to try but working on our emotional intelligence we can achieve this.

[@daniellatan9016]

There is another important point. I get energy drained once I start to feel the other friend is highly envious person. My energy increases if I talk to people who are genuine folks. But gossip and envy two things deplete me totally. One tip I follow is really limit meeting such people to keep my energy field stable

[@camcdill1]

Poshika Paliwal I feel that way too. When I’m around someone that seems jealous of envious (or just seems to be giving off bad energy or vibes) I tend to shut down or even feel recently like I just want to flick them off (I don’t but I feel that way) but then I feel terrible. Idk how to cope with people like that if i can’t get away in the moment. I need to work on not allowing their energy to affect me but then I also think maybe I’m the problem?? It’s so confusing. Does this make sense or is it just me? I really enjoy being around people but I always feel like I’m being depleted all the time and idk how to really deal or cope with it.

[@posh5763]

@@camcdill1 for me I think I am an introvert too, I have to manage alone time and time with people both to manage my energy. Try that it may help. With the jealous people one thing I realise we cant cut every such person out but i try to manage how often i meet, time bound it and restrict topics to generic stuff so that dont get sucked into. That helped. Overall negativity creates negativity. If we dont feel good after a conversation with someone its important to listen to our bodies I believe

GREAT VIDEO STEPHANIE. YES, THAT IS ME. 100%. I THINK BALANCE IS SO IMPORTANT FOR THE EMPATH. THAT IS THE KEY TO EVERYTHING. AND THAT IS WHAT IS MISSING IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW.

[@BrotherTree1]

So relatable it's not even funny - on pretty much almost every word you said on this video. Empath fatigue is definitely a lifelong struggle of mine, along with inconsistent and/or unstable and unoptimal sleeping patterns and habits as well as my mind constantly analysing existentially as well as through vivid and meaningful dreams. Perhaps a byproduct of my experiences growing up and all I've learnt so far. Thank you so much again for this Stephanie, I think it's very helpful and you seem to have articulated it in a way that I couldn't accurately describe before until now, and then some ways or solutions to manage the phenomenon and use that "energy" or "calling" in a more helpful, sustainable and growing way to boot with self-care and self-respect. Great stuff!

[@marissafitzsimmons1898]

I’ve been doing my research and I’ve discovered that I’m a full-blown empath. Realizing this has really helped me and my first step of healing, so I just wanted to thank you for this video. But yes, I struggle with sleep & I’m a naturally light sleeper, and I have wicked ass dreams. I’ve had to start a dream journal because I have so many, and sometimes people don’t believe me that I have a dream nearly every night. Anywho, great vid. This has helped me a lot in understanding myself a little more

[@tiaratyson]

This video came at the perfect time bc this is how I’ve been feeling. I’m such a deep thinker and feeler and I put myself last a lot of times unintentionally bc I’m such a giver and people pleaser. This video was very helpful in allowing me to understand that I must be mindful of picking up other’s energies and insecurities. Thank you so much for your content

[@notagain779]

Alone time for me is critical. An active mind needs that to be quiet, to focus and process this fast paced world. Then, when it's time to sleep, you have to practice shutting it down, and that's not easy, but it's vital to shut out thoughts to get to sleep. Most especially, anything that is worrying you. I dream a lot, and wake up many times during the night. Sometimes my own snoring wakes me up. To get better, deeper sleep, I'm now changing some of my habits, like not drinking any alcohol or iced tea after 6pm. In bed by 9pm, up at 6am. Keeping the same schedule, even on weekends, helps.

[@bluedragon6499]

I have found that I am very empathetic and feel more than the average person. Your videos have helped me to learn that it is a gift and not a weakness. Recently, I have realized that some people I have surrounded myself with have been emotional vampires because they know I will listen and help them. But it got more exhausting giving advice that they didn’t listen to and they wondered why they went through the same cycle in life. 🤷🏾‍♀️. It was so draining! Since I’ve noticed that their company affects me, I’ve backed away and I feel so much better because I keep in touch with myself and don’t need to be around personality suckers. I also have trouble sleeping and I feel like my brain is always going. I just recently started taking a calcium magnesium supplement at night and it helps me relax and sleep. I never remember my dreams though-only rarely. Thank you again for another helpful video!

Yes I'm A lucid dreamer! I've doesn't most of my life exhausted and overly invested in others problems and making them my own. It was hard for me to stop doing this and focus solely on my own problems. I still listen and give advice when asked but I no longer make it personal. I find that if I'm out and about with others, when I get home it take me a few days to refill and find peace and energy. I'll go for days without sleeping very well or struggling to sleep and then I crash hard. Others can't understand why I sleep so much or why I'm so tired even if I haven't done anything but hang out. I can't handle Loud negative music for Any longer then maybe 20 min before I get a migraine. I can't do drama and fighting/arguing either. It drains me fast. I definitely live my alone quiet time, either in silence or listening to nature ambience or yoga/spa type music in the background. It helps me recenter and focus. I think my hardest struggle has been self Care first and others after. Love this video and hour you do more on this topic. ❤

Omygooshh, yess, the part about remembering my dreams is so me 😱. I actually thought I was a deep sleeper but it now kinda makes sense why I'm always so exhausted when I wake up 😱

[@morganbedford195]

I love that you called it a gift! Bc yes!! I am so grateful for my personality but it’s also hard to deal with sometimes. So glad I found ur videos!

[@dixieree]

YES! I struggle with the dream thing so much, too. Just about every morning I wake up, I remember every bit of my dream, like I can still visualize it in my mind. I like to journal my dreams but it’s so annoying because I wanna write every single detail, because I remember all the details, but then it turns into PAGES of dreams and I get frustrated writing so much shit. Most of my dreams always consist of childhood relation. People, places, things, etc

STORY OF MY LIFE! Thanks for this video.

[@lucianas4919]

I am the same when it comes to the dreams, also the roadkill it still upsets me seeing animals that were hit by a car. Really enjoyed this video, I relate very much as an empath/highly sensitive person. Yes, I also like alone time. Thanks again Stephanie for another great video.

[@aliceroberts1980]

Thank you for the video. I related to everything you said. The dead animal on the side of the road is upsetting. I do like to be home alone the sleeping thing I have to. I have taken vitamins my whole life, I exercise every day . I’m a doer too I have a lot of hobbies. Cooking , Gardening, making jewelry. I like going on field trips with my daughter volunteering at my daughter school. I can’t sit still with out doing something my bead crochet , miniatures. I’m a good listener I do to much always so exhausted all the time. Sometimes I have to take a day just to rest. I don’t like crowds or loud noises it overwhelms me. I do like to be by myself just my dog and my flower gardening .

Me me me.....my day can get ruined by a news story or seeing a little old person walking a dog wandering if they have a family etc...it's so exhausting. But I wrap "white light" around me to protect me from energies...this was really helpful thankyou x

Throw the television away...I have and my life is so much better...

[@cmdash2032]

@@bettyboossister3918 not a bad point actually 😊

[@themonkeypuzzle]

Ohhhh, so true for me too. (And what will happen to the dog when the little old person dies!? That's where I always go with my thoughts. 😄 ) Honestly, if I didn't laugh at myself I'd go mad. At least we know why we think/feel like this. That's helped me so much as well as knowing I'm not alone. I really love the idea of imagining a white light protecting me. I'm going to try that. Thank you. 🤗

Quit TV after the GFC. 15 years and counting....

[@kimdavis2508]

Nope I don’t dream at all. I get plenty of rest. I stay away from caffeine. I don’t have or want friends anymore cause it seems they use me, I don’t want their drama, I love ❤️ my dogs better, I find they are needy, high maintenance, I like my alone time etc... idk 😐 seems most are spiritual vampires. But I like helping strangers if I see them in need; and I do plenty of this. I just don’t want people attaching onto me. I’m married 30 years & we love each other very much, we get along very well. I’ve had friends just hard to find people who don’t use you. Tired of it. I will rescue an animal quicker than I would say run to try & help someone else. Why should I swim across a river for them when they wouldn’t jump a puddle for me. Just how I feel now. Thank you Steph I enjoy your videos and looking back on how I used to be. I never attended any therapy or seminars, just decided to look after myself now. When you know better you do better! Love ya bunches.

[@gilshoham9601]

Regarding alone time, I agree 100%. I need a LOT of it. My partner sometime gets offended but they never understand much of how an empath’s mind works...

[@NikkiGRocks4Ever]

Thank you for the video, Stephanie. I love my alone time. I recharge by meditating and taking a walk in nature. Seeing water and animals gives me peace. I found out that the smell of lavender calms you. I have lavender air fresheners, lotions, body spray throughout my home.

[@yishubae895]

God, I literally felt like I was losing my mind... It's a lot to deal with. And yes alone time is blissful....

Noise cancelling headphones help so so much. I invested in a pair two weeks ago & my daily commute with these, is so much better. I cannot hear the train or people, I don’t pick up as much energy from others. I highly recommend

[@sherryhargooa7343]

This is completely me! Thank you Stephanie!

[@Froglet1968]

A very helpful video, I "feel" others before they even speak. The comments here really help too. Thank you all of you...keep strong and balanced. Much love x
