Drained energy and weird blocks around someone.Has anyone experienced something similar?

[u/kazedank]

Whenever I interact with this person, I feel completely drained of energy. I become physically exhausted, sleepy, apathetic, and almost disconnected from myself, as if I turn into a zombie.

Sadly, I was romantically involved with this person in a situationship, but I never dared to make the relationship official because of this strange feeling I experienced around them. I could never fully understand what was happening to me, but something about the way I felt whenever we interacted always seemed to hold me back.

I feel a strange sense of blockage in my body, especially in my feet and legs, particularly my left foot. I also feel it in my chest, throat, and solar plexus. It's hard to explain, but it's as if something inside me shuts down whenever I'm around this person.

I feel tired all the time when we're together, as though my energy is being drained. I become apathetic and sleepy, and I struggle to understand why I react this way.

Whenever I get into this state, I tend to isolate myself from other people. I lose the desire to socialize or interact with anyone. I feel stuck, numb, and disconnected from everything around me, almost like I'm a zombie.

I also experience anxiety, and sometimes I feel like I can't breathe properly. I can physically feel this blockage in my body, especially in my feet, legs, chest, and throat, but I don't know what it means or what's causing it.

I honestly don't understand what's happening to me. Why does interacting with this particular person make me feel this way? Why do I feel so exhausted, blocked, and disconnected whenever we're together?

Has anyone ever experienced something similar around a specific person, especially someone they had a romantic connection with? Could this be an emotional or psychological response, or have any of you experienced something like this and found an explanation for it?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences and perspectives because I genuinely don't understand what's happening to me.

Ive experienced this before. People like this aren’t bad but there’s something about being around them that drains me. I wonder if its our energies are incompatible or if they intentionally drain other peoples energies. Not sure.

When you meet with them do they have more energy when theyre with you or are they always at the same level of energy?

I'm trying to understand this too - I was dating a guy, and being with him was making me feel this way too.

From my own experience, it seems like what's happening is that these individuals are triggering my latent trauma - like they are carrying their own trauma in their subtle body, and it matches up just right with my unresolved stuff. I think I was initially projecting my discomfort onto forming my opinion about them - but now I'm like fuck this is mmmmmmmy shiiiiiit. A fully healed version of me would be able to really enjoy this person's company. This approach has been humbling for me.

That said, IDK dude, I now feel exactly this way that you're describing around my own mom and I've had to take space from her.

I think we all have a responsibility to clear out the repressed, unprocessed emotions we're carrying around in our subtle bodies and have more compassion for ourselves and others as we figure this out.
