When I was barely 5, I felt the presence of spirits around me. I was often too frightened to find out about who- or what- was watching me, so over those next few years I had learned to ignore them, and almost forgot them. But at the same time, spirits weren't the only things I had felt. Strange and unusual emotions that I couldn't explain gave me feelings of what would happen in the near future. They started out simple, such as being able to predict the outcome of playing a board game. But as I got to around 9 years old, I was able to sense if I was in danger. And on new year's eve, I got a very strong feeling that turned out to be the suicide of a man who went to my church.
My life has always been far from perfect. Someone was always hurting me- whether it was someone from my school, or my family. I got to a point where I was in a suicidal state because of the pain I had been dealing with. But, since I could usually sense danger, I knew exactly what I had to do- avoid it, if I could manage to. I figure skate, so sometimes I can sense when I'll fall, and I can feel the pain in the exact spot that I fall on, before I actually do. In addition to that, I can feel both the emotional and physical pain of my friends.
In 2005, my step grandma and her 100 year old mother were killed by a drunk driver. I had only seen my step grandma twice or so, because she lived very far away. The second I found out she died, the spirits I had been trying to forget bounced back to me. She was one of them now. No matter what I thought of, I felt them listening, watching, and wanting to communicate with me. I'd spent the nights following her death screaming out in terror in the middle of the night, yelling at the spirits that I wanted them to leave me alone. So they did, but just long enough for me to readjust, before they decided to fully present themselves to me.
I don't really remember how I began communicating with them, but whenever I feel them wanting to talk to me, or scarier, when I hear them calling my name, I can relax enough (usually through meditation, which I learned in previous years) to talk to them. Though I never communicated to my relatives, I have communicated to many of my friends' relatives. Oh, and I did see my first pet hamster (the only animal spirit I saw).
You could probably tell from my writing that I'm 13. Both my brother and I have had many experiences, as well as my mother, who can see the future in dreams. I rarely get visions in dreams, but sometimes I do, both of spirits and the future. If you have any advice to offer, it's much appreciated.
YOU ARE NOT JUST PSYCHIC, you are a PSYCHIC MEDIUM. People in general think that everything is just about psychic stuff, there is a whole lot more. You will get with time a suspension of your abilities, mostly will work for you in times of danger or when someone will go away from this world; but your abilities will come back even stronger and will stay almost permanently. Do not panic. Even though is been a little bit harsh on you, you will find a way to handle this abilities. I have been in your shoes. I don't know exactly what is it you are trying to find out. For right now is better if you concentrate on yourself, by that I mean try to keep your "emotions under control", since this is so important in dealing with spirits. Become as better human being as you can and learn to know yourself better. Believe it, you will need this more than any knowledge about what to do in what situation, anything else is intuitive provided and in the case that something is hard for you to get, them people will be put in your way at the right time. In all this matters "you are never alone". This is never a game so don't take anything light. Do not go to deep either. Good luck to you. My psychic Medium in the process of growing.
Find the Medium's book by Allan Kardec and try to read it, don't worry if there are things there you don't understand now. Keep it and ready some time later and will make more sense. The more you develop the more sense this book makes. You probably won't find every single answer to your questions but it will help you.
And the most important thing: never compare yourself to someone else. All Psychics or Mediums are different. Good Luck.
