Okay ashley, I'll try to help.

Firstly, you're at a very difficult age, and having special needs only makes that even harder. Secondly, you're also having a lot of trouble with your family and friends, who could normally try to support you but right now that's not happening. Third, you've had dreams or visions that you don't understand and it's causing you to doubt your abilities.

To begin, remember that everyone has at some time or another been a teenager. Everyone has made some good choices and some bad, and most of the time, things get better. Right now, the world is putting you under a lot of pressure, but soon you'll be in a position to deal with that pressure on your own terms. Being a teen doesn't last forever- enjoy being young and free, and don't let the world get you down.

Secondly, your friends and family are causing you a huge ammount of stress! It may be because they hate you- but more than likely that's NOT the reason. They are probably just as confused about your identity as you are, and struggling to adapt to the positive and negative changes you make in your life as you become more adult. Remember that your family will still be your family when you're 30, 40, 50. Be yourself, they will eventually come around.

Now it seems to me that these stresses you're under, caused by the physical mental and social changes we experience in young adulthood, have made your hitherto subtle psychic gifts become more powerful and more confusing. I know that you have had dreams and visions that you cannot make sense of because they are impossible. You also mentioned that the closer someone is to you, the more you're apt to know about their future. Your pre-cognitive abilities are empahetic- as is often the case. Remember that lots of people have occasional episodes of psychic premonition. If your gift is one that has been with you for a long time, then it is up to you to responsibly gauge which visions should be acted upon, and which may be illusion. Remember that even people with perfect eyesight still see things that aren't there- just like every psychic sometimes has a vision that does not come true. Don't let it get to you.

It is my belief that your headaches are caused not by the abilities you possess, but by the difficult time you're having in coping with them. Stress is probably the culprit. There are a lot of web sites with great advice for dealing with stress, and a good program is listed below.

In the mean time, when the stress is out of the way, you'll find it's much easier to control your own empathic abilities. How can you make sense of someone else's mind when your own mind is so shaken up?

Peace be with you,

Answer 2

I'm 40-ish. Most of my Wiccan/Pagan friends range from ages 30 to 55. If you go to Wiccan/Pagan open gatherings as I do several times a year, you'll find people of all ages. Children being raised Wiccan/Pagan to senior citizens. These are large gatherings with up to two or three hundred people sometimes, and I've been to them in different states, so I'm not talking about one local community. What you don't find is rebellious teens who are going for the shock value. We don't let them in without their parents. You've probably known some, there are an equal number of Pagans as there are Writers and Fire Fighters in this country. You just probably didn't know their faith because they don't proselytize and you didn't ask. We pretty much look and act like everyone else.

It sounds to me like maybe you need to learn to block. This requires you start doing meditation exercises where you imagine this other person's thoughts and emotions deflected from you. You have to learn to turn off your ability. This means strengthening the mind and only letting in what you want to let in.

Answer 4

Hmmm... well I have a way but you have to be careful. This may block all your powers but it depends on how deep you block it.

This is mental work. It worked for me. So well that I blocked myself completely for years. A bad move on my part and I've never been completely able to remove the block I created.

So.... do this....

It's going to take great concentration...

Concentrate and visualize gauze being slowly wrapped around your mind. Strip after strip, around and around. This gauze is slowly blocking your "vision" and it's slowly preventing anything from entering. Depending on how many strips you wrap around, you may completely block your "vision" and be unable to see.

Be very careful. You don't want to end up like I did.

It may take some thought at first to maintain that block but eventually it will become second nature. But if you block yourself completely, you may not be able to fully remove it.
