Hey, so I've been gone for a couple of days. But I'm here now. So I have to talk to someone about my Thanksgiving Dinner, which it was with my boyfriend 90+ family members. I have to say everybody was nice to me, but I was feeling extremely nauseous. I even thought I was food poisoned or something. Every handshake, kiss, hug, etc. made me want to puke, but I didn't even thought about empathy being the problem, since I didn't feel like they were attacking me, or that I was mad or something bad.
...
At the saying grace part of the gathering was when everything went over board. My boyfriend family have this tradition where they do a big circle in where everyone holds hands, when they started saying grace I felt I was gonna puke everything I had on my stomach, & I almost fainted. My boyfriends decided to take me home, in hopes a nice rest would help me. The funny & scary thing was that as soon as we where in the car, and started getting away from the gathering I started feeling all better. Once on the road everything was back to normal, no nauseous, no faintness, just my "normal self".  So I got home feeling extremely good, and sorry about having to cut short my boyfriend family gathering. Since I was all better, I decided to call my mom to see how where things on my grandma house, and as soon as she put me on speaker so everybody could say hi, I puke.

So now I have had a couple of days to analyze what happened to me, and got to say I'm betting on me being an empath being the cause.

This was the first year I didn't celebrate thanksgiving dinner with my mom, and even when we are not extremely close I was feeling a little nostalgic. Plus it was the first time I got to spend a WHOLE day with my boyfriend 90+ family members. & in such a meaningful holiday. Normally when I spend time with his family is just one part and not the WHOLE 90+ MEMBERS. And even thought my family is big  (which is always have made me feel uncomfortable and out of place) I know them for years and we are never ALL together at once in one place.

Anyway I started analyzing how I feel when there's a lot of people near and realize that even when I'm in a comfortable and familiar place I always get stomach problems (gas, nauseous, stomachache, etc. ) when to many people are together. So maybe that's where my body shows how the energy is affecting me? I really have no idea, it would be nice to understand that. So since I would like for that to stop, and for not having another huge crisis like the Thanksgiving one, I'm off to find something that could help me. Here in Puerto Rico holidays are huge stuff, and in my years before I got the privilege of disappearing to a quiet place, but since my boyfriend like to be where the fun is, I have to learn how to coexist with it.
Wish me luck!
