Strange instinct continues to get me in trouble.

All my life I have had these "feelings" call it instinct or what ever. I have known when people I am close to are feeling strong emotion or scared guilty whatever. When my daughter was in combat I would know she was scared kind of thing it's like it takes over my own emotions. The reason I bring this up is it causes me problems in relationships. My ex husband always insisted he wasn't doing anything when I would ask "based on these feelings" the day we divorced he said I have one questioned how did you always know and exactly what I was doing. Now in my current situation my husband insists that I am spying on him. I never have once, but I will get these feelings and they will consume me. I have had to go sit in my car at work till they would calm down. Has anyone ever dealt with this and if so how do I stop it? When it was my daughter and she almost died I felt like I needed to be locked up half a world away and I was freaking out. This isn't fun and its causing me a lot of problems.
I feel like I am going crazy

I think I understand what you're going through. I'm this way. The "Emotional Sponge" soaking up all the energy from the people around me, and just "know" things. There are plenty of labels for people like us.

You can learn to step back, and evaluate what you "feel", discern what is truly yours, and discard the rest. Meditation / prayer helps a great deal too.

I hope this book helps you as much as it helped me.

"The Highly Sensitive Person" by Elaine Aron. She has a very down-to-earth approach, not really getting into the whole supernatural part of it that seems to fascinate people so much.
