I was addicted to Amphetamine, for just over a year. I was given the drug by a friend, and I agreed to use it the once.

I have to say I was hooked on the drug from the first use, and continued to use the drug. This eventually lead to a diagnosed, "Paranoid Psychosis", and a nervous breakdown.

I stopped taking the drug immediately, as advised by my Doctor.

In the next few months to follow, during my self rehabilitation I noticed that I could predict the future or at least know what other people were thinking, within a few meters of my person. I am very conscious of my surroundings, at thought level. I feel very paranoid, sometimes if i am out in public. I can sense things that I cannot explain. I feel negative emotions like hate, fear etc, more than positive ones.

I think that my psychotic state was in fact my confused brain, trying to work out what is real and what thoughts were not real. This confused my brain, and it over loaded.

It is very difficult to explain, but this happens to often and to accurately to be solely coincidence. I can look at someone and sometimes communicate with them at thought level. I hear their voice in my head as a thought. This is not auditory. If I say the thought out loud, they look at me funny, and say that they were just thinking it.

This sixth sense, is very real. I found the following part of the article interesting, as this started happening later, formed from my drug addiction.

"Interestingly, we also found evidence that the same neurotransmitter involved in drug addiction and Parkinson's disease, namely dopamine, seems to play a key role in training the ACC to recognize when to send the early warning signal," he added.
