Some Sort Of Intuition Perhaps?

I'm really not sure where to begin, I know I have some capabilities but to what extent I can use them is where I get lost. I have weird energetic feelings for cold air, everything seems so calm around me yet I'm bursting with emotions. I've had an experience in the past (have had many but this is one example I don't mind sharing) where I've told my father not to go to work because I felt he needed to be at home, almost as if something told me he was in danger, he laughed and said we needed him to make money so he was going, he was pancaked between a semi truck and car on the way to work, he survived which I am grateful for but I have things like this happen a lot. I say something that doesn't really make sense or have any tact to it and yet 90% of the time something happens that day. I can't focus on having these feelings though, whenever I've tried it's always been proven false. (that 10%) So, how would I be able to go about letting these feelings come out more. I don't feel as if it's coincidence because when the feelings come my words are out of my mouth before I can even think about why I'm saying what I am. All through the day I feel slightly lost, I don't talk much and not because I am shy, I just feel the need to listen, constantly. I try to sleep at night and I'm greeted by extreme feelings of energy like I'm being bothered by spirits around me. My family has a history of talking and dealing with spirits so it wouldn't surprise me if people were trying to channel with me, but I wonder if I'm not letting it happen? Like I said I get lost in this, sometimes I feel a crazy. Especially when I suddenly feel extreme emotions and have no idea why, I know it sounds bi-polar but I know it's not. Also I have at times feelings like I can deeply connect to people around me who I know very little about, and feel as if I need to talk to them for some reason... If anyone could give me advice I'd appreciate it.
