This must be quite unnerving and overwhelming at times. Have you shared with them your gift? What do your friends say about this? I don't know anyone who can read minds. I do know if you work or live around the same ppl a long time you can get to kind of know how they think and if they are habitual, you could learn what "phrase" they would think or say in any given situation.

What is your DX, along with anxiety? I would hope you could find a doctor to give you a medicine to help you, rather than self drugging with alcohol. TC

No i haven't told anyone except Mum that i feel like i can read minds. Of course i would tell my psychologist (she is away at the moment) and a psychiatrist if i had one ( i am trying to get one but there is a very long wait!)

Mum is not sure. No-one is sure whether i am having some kind of a delusion or voice...or this is JUST ME.

One argument for the 'gift' idea is that the messages that flood me, often make sense in terms of the person- what their personality is like, what i know they worry about, and what i know about them. Infact, it may be me just guessing what's on their mind, based on my perceptions and what i know about them.

Sorry i don't really believe in diagnosies, but doctors have liked to call me 'schizoaffective'.

Yes it would be nice to just be relaxed, without using alcohol, but i don't have that luxury

Thanks for your support and help!
