I know we all get our gifts. I also know that not everyone understands or believes in what I believe. But for those that do understand and believe, please help... I don't know if I am going crazy( even tho I have been told by numerous others that I'm not) and if I'm not crazy then why is this happening to me? Yes I get that it could be my gift but it's been nothing but pain. And if I mention it to anyone especially the one causing my survival alarm( that's what I have always referred to it as) to go crazy. Then I just get told I'm making it all up and belittled. Please I need someone to talk to and guide me please.

I am not sure I quite understand your question.
Sometimes it is very easy to tell if people are lying, their demeanour shows that they are not truthful, either because they cannot look you in the eye, or their body language.
In the first century C.E. miraculous gifts attended the baptism with holy spirit. These served as signs that God was no longer using the Jewish congregation in his service but that his approval rested on the Christian congregation established by his Son. Evidently, with the death of the apostles, the transmittal of the gifts of the spirit ended, and the miraculous gifts of the spirit ceased altogether as those who had received these gifts passed off the earthly scene.
However true wisdom and knowledge are gifts from God. Jehovah actually invites his servants to pray for wisdom and knowledge, as Solomon did. Nevertheless, to gain knowledge, effort in studying what God has made available by the gift of his Word is required. (Pr 2:1-6; 2Ti 2:15; 3:15) But a study of God’s Word in itself does not guarantee receiving the gifts of knowledge and wisdom. True knowledge and wisdom are available only through Jesus Christ and with the help of God’s spirit.—1Co 2:10-16; Col 2:3.
