i'm very similar to you.. minus the picture thingi come from a family of psychics. especially my mother who was born with it and it's really strong for her - like she keeps winning money in lotteries, sees spirits walking around, can channel (though she doesn't like that), talk to spirits ... like she's really that strong. i think she might be an empath too and that she's a witch without knowing it? yeah.. thats a long story, but she's in her 60s and still doesn't know the full extent of what she has/can do so this is journey thing and we might never reach the final destination.
i'm going through the same thing as you are, wondering what the **** is happening, what am i? what do i even have?
the best advice i was given was to not force it.
think of it as a person in the fog. as the person comes closer to you you'll be able to make out what and who it is. so right now, whatever gifts we were given, they're deep in the fog from us. i went to a psychic before who said that i wouldn't 'reach full power' till i was 27 years old.
so i'm trying to just meditate and open my chakras.
my third eye was going mental for a month + on and off for the last year or so. now it's on an 'off' state.. don't know why. i just let it be. and i had to learn to let it be. it's hard.
my mother also tries to get me not to talk too much about it because she says if you talk too much about the specifics it leaves you.
i've also had ghostly experiences.. my whole life .. like horror movie type experiences where it was also down to my mother to protect me.
it seems to me you have the ability to develop into an intuitive, probably claircogniance and clairaudience. just try your best to mediate and open your chakras to make sure theres a clear flow of energy flowing through you. then look into working with that crystal with your tired eye.
if you need anyone to talk to about stuff like this, i'm here (i'm new too). let me know and ill pass you my kik x
