It's interesting how we all come into our gifts. I'm really glad that it was so clear for you, many aren't so lucky, just kinda figure it out along the way. Being an empath is a pretty tough gift to control. I learned that not only do you "feel" others pain, you literally channel it and take it on as your own. I realized something cool with this gift to. My BF was having some panic attacks, at one point is was really bad, as if their were outside influences making it unbearable. I prayed to God and literally,"sucked it out oh him" and it came to me. With God's helpand his white light I felt it leave and told it to go back to where it came from.He later told me that it all disappeared and this peace just fell over him. He was at work. He called me on his lunch break and told me about what happend and said he knew it was me. So being an empath you can not only channel their feelings but you can also send things to the person in need, like peace or white light. The important thing to remember is to not hold it in,the feelings and energies, just as it comes you need to channel it back out or it will drive you crazy. A person can't handle that much emotion. Anyways, I hope this info is helpful and I wish you the best with your new path.
Blessed Be,
