The Empath

Now, I had no clue of the exact name until I looked it up last night on my computer, but I guess you can call me an empath, I can feel everyone's emotions at anytime. It guess it all began in the 2nd grade, I was waiting in line to go back into classroom with a few of my classmates. Then suddenly I had a severe headache not knowing where it came from. I ignored it but it was pain I couldn't bear. Then one of my classmates ran up to me saying that one of the kids fell off the monkey bars unto the wood head first and cracked his head open. Me as a 2nd grader didn't react to rationally and I was totally freaked out, my head continue to really hurt. I go in my classroom and think nothing of it, but now at the teen I am now I realize that's pretty much where it all begun. Since then stuff like that always pops up until last year I had no idea on anything that was coming up until an old friend came up to me and told me that she can read minds that she also had Telepathy. She's seen my reactions and how I act around people and their deep emotions. She told me that I too had psychic abilities as well she began helping me with all these emotions coming up since this last year was probably the highest point for me. I was feeling people so deeply I couldn't even tell my feelings apart from the others and I couldn't control anything. Even in the damn movies I start going ballistic from everything that I was feelings and I just couldn't cope with it anymore. My life was pretty much taken over by all this and I downward spiraled. My friend soon help me to create a barrier to control all these emotions from taking over my life. It took quite some time for me to create this barrier but over time it seemed to form. I can now cope with most of the emotions and can tell who's is who's. Things got a lot better, but I'm still in a world of confusion and getting this Empathy the way I need it to be to fit my stressful life. So if anyone has any tips on all this or just wants to ask me questions I'm all for it. But trust me feeling emotions is not exactly what it seems it's something people just cannot understand unless they go through something similar. But again I know a lot of people have different experiences and gifts that no one will really understand anymore so I guess that's how life works.
