12/11/20 MENTAL HEALTH RISKS FOR LIGHTWORKERS: HELPING EMPATH, OR CODEPENDENT? This is the second message of the day, meant to follow up on our discussion of several weeks ago about mental health problems and how they affect lightworkers.

Part of what I was asked to do, here in our lightworker community, is help individual lightworkers find their way back to wholeness, which includes good physical and mental health, as well as health as a soul.

My last message, before I took a break for school, was to discuss the mental health risks that we, as lightworkers, face on this planet. We (hopefully) vibrate at a different, faster speed, than the collective consciousness of Humanity.

That vibrational disparity, combined with the loneliness and feeling of being out of place in a strange world, can lead many of us to experience mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, and another called "codependency."

The first gifts that become active in every lifetime we choose to awaken are our gifts of empathy. I'm sure many of you already identify yourself as "empathic." This means that you not only experience your own emotions, but can feel the emotions of other people.

This is an important attribute to have, as we try to serve Humanity. However, it can also lead to really difficult mental health challenges if we don't know how to control the onslaught of emotions from the world around us.
