I want to start off by saying I'm sorry if this seems very scattered. I'm just trying to give as much information that may matter in helping me.
Ever since I was around 3, dragon flies would fly right in front of my face and just hover there for awhile. Everyone has always told me or my mom that I am an old soul, which I believe. But I believe I'm more than just that. I was diagnosed with anxiety but I read that people which gifts are usually diagnosed with a disorder. My therapist says I have a high EQ (emotional awareness). I feel like I am an empath. But I don't know if I'm just crazy or not.
I feel like I can feel people's emotions but what if they are just my own? Also, does this run in genetics? I don't know if any other of my family has had gifts or not. I'm very confused about all of this and would like to figure it out. I have times where I know when something is going to happen and it does. More than normal. When I focus on these abilities it seems like they grow. What if they aren't growing, and I just believe they are. I believe the mind in powerful enough to trick us. I've always felt connected to nature and animals. I feel vibes very much. I know when people are nervous or sad just by being around them. I'm very confused and I just hope someone will help me.
My mom says she feels like she is an empath too. We have ancestry from women that were in the Salem witch trials if that helps. I don't know. It's all very confusing to what is real and what is in my head. Thank you
I would like to share my experience with you all. I used to take ketamine for years but on the day of the 10th year annivof the death of my cousin, I felt like something was controlling my body slightly. I ran and wrote down the alphabet, numbers, yes, no, maybe. Right away my arm that was holding the pen started to move around and spelled my cousin's name. I started to ask questions that only he knew the answer to and they were all correct. This happened another three times. Two, were other spirits and another time it was my cousin's.
I know it was not in my head because it would tell me things I had long forgotten about. Has anyone been through the same experience?
