Hey I'm vicky... I'm 17 and I have a bestmate called rachael who's 17... well one night I couldn't sleep for hours because I had a really bad feeling in my heart that something was wrong with her... the next day I had to sit in hospital with her for a few hours because she self harmed! :/ can anyone explain how I got this feeling? N why?

OK if she is a really close friend then you may have gotten a connection in some way that isn't entirely explainable. I have the same thing with a "sister" and I can always tell when she is having a bad day. It is almost a sixth sense in a way, and almost a connection in another way. Some people get them more than others when they have strong feelings for a person( it doesn't technically have to be a love feeling, just a strong "always be two peas in a pod" feeling) and it will enable you to feel how those around you feel. I know it does sound very weird, but it can happen to people, and it really is a good thing. If you want just to find out, go to a psychic you don't feel is a quack, and find out if you have an old soul. You may be surprised at what you find out!

It could be explained by any number of things. One instance is not sufficient to say you have some "gift" or "ability". Sometimes I believe it can also be God trying to get us to lift someone up in prayer.

God? Ha

Hmmm this is helpful... I love her to pieces... she's more like a sister than my actual sisters.. it was just weird getting that feeling and then having that the next day
