My Life Altering Experience

I'm new to this site and this is my first post so please bear with me lol I'm 34 years old and I'm a empath and also have other abilities as far back as I can remember iv always knew that I was different than everyone else and didn't seem to fit in iv always heard voices and saw different"things" I could literally feel people's pain and emotions and people always seemed to gravitate towards me with there problems, well I thought I was just crazy and kept it to myself I always thought that the whole psychic stuff was just a bunch of bs until one day I was in a minor fender bender with a older lady in a parking lot neither of us were hurt but we had to wait for a wrecker, well it was the middle of summer and hot outside so I got into the truck with her I had never seen this lady before while sitting there with her she said she didn't want to alarm me and said she was a medium and asked if she could see my hand so I agreed and she held it and looked and stopped and got almost teary eyed and proceeded to tell me things about my life and some experiences I have had and I started to get a little freaked out and we continued to talk and continued to tell me things that nobody else in the world new about like my dead grandmother and other stuff, well I just started crying like a little baby and she went on to tell me that I was special and gifted and that I was put here on earth for a very important and specific reason but said that she was advised to not tell me exactly what that reason was, we talked a little more and the wrecker arrived and we both left and I cried the whole drive home and that was just the beginning to the way I looked at the world and a change in what I believed was possible and what wasn't and a new belief and curiosity in extra abilities and such, it was like that incounter opened up my third eye and opened my mind to new potentials and possibilities well it was neet at first but then as time went on it got to be more than I could handle and was having a negative effect on my daily life so ever since that day I have read everything I could find on anything about psychic abilities and related stuff but I still don't know what to do about it or how exactly to control it like sometimes I can control it and sometimes I can't but it's gotten to where it's affecting my life to where I only sleep a couple hours a week and I can't get the voices to stop amongst other things and I don't know what to do about it I really want to learn how to use it and to regain control of my life sorry for being so long any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks
