Why be Bothered?

Because the other options take away all your control.

I blog every weekday. Most of what I write about covers mental and emotional health matters.

As an empath, I can feel other people’s emotions — sometimes more clearly than my own. Right now, we are living in one of the most uncertain realities most of us have ever experienced.

Without getting into the specifics — because it just isn’t necessary — this current world situation is impacting the collective consciousness on multiple levels.

First, it raises a lot of mental questions:

· Why am I doing the things I am doing?

· What can I do to change this stuff?

· How do these things impact me?

· What’s my part in all of this?

· Why should I bother to make choices — does it ultimately matter?

This is just a sample of questions I know I’ve considered. It takes a real mental toll on me, and I know I am not alone in that.

Then, there are a wide number of emotional issues that come up:

· Why am I feeling like this?

· How do I deal with the anger this evokes?
