I guess I should start my story from the beginning (and I warn you this may be a long one so escape while you can). Ever since I was young (around 5 or so) I was deeply fascinated with the paranormal. From watching those lame ghost shows to playing with the Ouija board, I could never get enough of it. One night in particular, I remember lying in bed and I heard a strange shuffling noise. It almost sounded as if someone was crinkling tissue paper in their hands. I opened my eyes and I saw this strange dark blob (now it was dark in my room but this "blob" was darker, so it was easily visible). I then watched as it flew around the room and then disappeared. Whether that was a ghost or something else, I am not too sure, but that was my first paranormal experience.
I am 16 now and recently I have been having strange occurrences. Whether this may just be some strange coincidence making me extremely lucky, or that I maybe have some sort of "gift", I almost always know when the phone is going to ring. At first, I thought I just had great intuition. But after a while, it had become so apparent that the thought of "Gee, the phone is about to ring" popping in my head, followed by my lovely Nickleback ringtone kind of gets me curious. Also, many times when something "bad" is going to happen, I get really sick or bad stomach aches. I also seem to always have headaches. Is this some sort of "gift" or am I just crazy?
Also, I have done a lot of research into Empathy and I am thinking that I may have this ability as well. I can remember my Mom taking me to my psychologist every two weeks to talk about my "problems" and "bi-polar depression" when I was around 10. I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar depression but I never really believed I was bi-polar. I think it has to do with this Empathy. I can look at a person and immediately become overwhelmed with these emotions that I knew had no belonged to me. At first I was quite afraid, thinking that I was nuts! But now, being 16, I still feel these strange emotions when looking at someone or speaking to them; its almost like I know what is exactly wrong with them every time; I know what they are going through. My family always jokes that I would be a great Therapist because I know how to get into peoples' heads. This ability would be very cool because I would be able to help out others, however it seems to consume me and I always feel exhausted and overwhelmed. If I do have this ability, it would be really nice if I could just turn it off from time to time cause it really takes a lot from me.
Does anyone have any advice for me? I just really am confused and not sure what to do. If anyone has any advice or similar experiences, I would love to talk with you! Thanks for reading!
Blessed Be!
