Venting High Empathy Autism– any tips?

[futurebuscatcher]

I hate it. I was only recently told it was high empathy autism which is why I'm always so miserable and take everything go heart. I hate it. I hate feeling so strongly about everything. It's exhausting. I feel with my whole body and since my depression it's been worse. I don't want to be a crybaby. Even worse is that it's never consistent. Someone close to me gets through something terrible? I get why they're sad but can't feel anything. If I see something happy happening or heartwarming I feel like crying– whether out of happiness or jealousy(idk if it is tho). I don't get it.

I wish there was a quick way to get rid of this or harden my heart more and be less empathetic. Or at least be able to hold in tears when talking about something that upsets me. It sucks that I can't even day I'm upset without crying

Any tips on how to manage this or keep tears in check? I'm so tired man.

I can completely relate as this occurs to me also.
For me its very exhausting as I already have enough to worry about in my own life but its like I can feel the sadness of the world. In a group, I can feel if something is wrong.
It's also gotten to the point where I will be uncontrollably sad and depressed and have nightmares for days then suddenly someone dies.
It's crazy and I have a hard time believing it but I was able to prove it to an ex girlfriend and she was shocked.

I've done a bit of research regarding "empaths" and it hits the nail right on the head but again as a skeptic I have a hard time believing that it's real (never heard of hsp, so thank you ).
I have had many people tell me that I should seek out a practitioner of reiki or spiritual response therapy or someone that does spiritual healing and it all sounds great (if it's actually real) but truthfully it all sounds like hocus pocus.
But hey, what doesn't work for one might work for another and might be a route worth checking out.

Tbh if someone told me right now that shoving magic crystals into my anus would cure me, my ass would look like the crystal caves of Mexico

Has anyone ever had an experience or success with any of that spiritual crap?

Been there done that. (Was a member/practitioner of Keylontic Science) The biofeedback is all psychosis and the stuff is all pseudo-science.

i FUCKING hate when this happens. you DO NOT know SHIT about me. you are NOT helping me by trying to "advocate" for me because you have NO IDEA what you are talking about. i am NOT allowing you to reduce me to your shitty musings. only IM allowed to do that (secretly), and only you are allowed when i feel like it

i feel like this as well but as usual telling my mental health provider would be useless since they refuse to tell me any of my diagnosis
