Energy Draining

[Aesiryth]

Hello everyone,
I've been wondering about energy being drained and the process of it. I here it being used all the time "oh you might be drained" or things like that, but haven't really received an explanation on how it works. I've experienced being drained by just walking into a room and then feeling so....so tired and then walking out and back to normal. I've also experienced it by being next to someone and feeling really tired then walking away and feeling fine again. Does this process automatically happen? Or does the person have to purposefully do it? And do the places/rooms that drain like that have some sort of negative energy in them that does this?

It sounds like you are very empathetic.
The person doesn't have to do anything, because you just pick up on whatever is there...I wonder, do you get equally energized if the person is having a great day?
I know unfortunately that for me anyway, the negative and "tired" sorts of energy are easier to pick up on than good ones, and that may be because I had been negatively tuned...I'm trying to change that now.
You may also be picking up on lingering energy, like you said, and it could have been there for years and years. The space could possibly need a cleansing.

Another empath here who gets terribly drained. Earthing/grounding yourself each day helps. Someone once told me to imagine a bubble around myself and only let in what I wanted to allow. It works sometimes, I'm not very well practiced.

I never thought of the empath thing. That could be it. I do feel energized if someone near me is very energetic or in a very good mood, but if they are just happy and not excitingly happy then I don't feel much at all. I mainly pick up on the bad though, which REALLY sucks. I'll try grounding and shielding though. I just haven't mastered it to the point where my shield automatically comes up and I forget about grounding and shielding sometimes.

I'm exactly the same aesiryth. It does suck. Will think of you.

You have what I have. I am a sensitive and empath. I can feel and pick up on how people are feeling. You may be picking up someones negativity or what they are going through. They could be going through a rough time. There are psychic vampires who drain anyone when they don't control it. The rooms draining you could have negative emotions still lingering and you're picking up on it.

I have always had the same issue and have learned how to shield myself. Now that I'm using my gifts and skills differently I'm learning new stuff about myself. For instance I no longer hold hands with others other than my hubby, kids and a few immediate family members or friends because I can sometimes see flashes or get readings off of people. Getting a reading off of friends of family members really sucks. I've adapted by saying: oh I'm a hugger. Also I'm a paranormal investigator and spiritual advisor on a TAPS (ghost hunters show) team. During a recent investigation. I was shielding myself and the only team member not being pinched on the chest. I made the mistake of offering comfort to a member sitting beside me when he was being attacked. Offering comfort wasn't the mistake. Can you guess what I did that broke my shielding?

If you get overwhelmed with other's energy during the
day, excuse yourself and hold your hands under cool
water for a few minutes; use visualization to "see" the
energies flowing down the drain and into the earth
to be re-charged.
