Confessions of an Empath

Since I was a child I've had psychic abilities. The known abilities I have experienced is communication with spirits, automatic writing, future seeing, and empathy. Empathy is where a person can feel, and experience things from another person or animal. Depending on the person's other abilities, this can impact their life greatly, or it can have no impact on them whatsoever. In my case this has a huge impact on my life.
   Imagine this: You're incredibly happy because something good happened to you. You enjoy your day until suddenly you're in public.
Suddenly you feel as if your leg was broke when it wasn't.
Not a big deal right? Well then how about this: a lot of emotions and feelings are all coming to you at once.
       This is what it means to be a strong empath. Empaths can often be found lost in thought. They are often the quiet type. Then again with all those emotions coming at you, why would you want to socialize?
Empathy isn't something that can be cured by drugs or therapy. Empaths are not Schizophrenic, and they're not hallucinating.
   People often mistake it for Autism, which in my opinion go hand-in-hand. Autism involves uncontrolled emotions, and so does empathy.
