Im not sure what to tell you exactly, except that we all at least are afraid of our own sanity when we discover our gifts. And sometimes those Gifts can be overwhelming. (...and that I also couldn't help but think of The Matrix when I read your post. lol)
As far as spoon bending and psychokinetic energies, I cant help but be a little skeptic (and a little Jealous) ONLY because I have never in my live seen any solid evidence to prove it....in other words, Ive never seen it.
HOWEVER...
Being an Empath, I know there are things in this world at work such as energies that cannot be completely explained, and I am not discounting the possibility of psychokineticsism as a real thing, Ive just...never seen it for myself. (although...light bulbs seem to burnout wherever I go.....anyone have any input on that phenomenon?)
As far as these events happening randomly, get a journal, and each time something is bent, ect. write down the EXACT circumstances. Your feelings, your situation, the feelings of those around you, the conversation (if any), ect. Maybe that will give you a clue as to a sort of trigger that creates this 'bending spoon' effect.
The other thing that just clicked to me, is Faith. Not exactly a RELIGIOUS kinda faith, but...laugh as I might in thinking about the Matrix, it kinda had a good point....the basis of everything in the Matrix is Faith. If you KNOW you can do it....you can!
I think that once your first bending was successful, each successive time becomes easier, eventually instincitve. I know that this is how my skills as an empath were honed. Once I knew what my Gift was, I was able to continue to use it, continue to identify it, and each successive reading or sensing became instinctive, and I now jokingly call it my Spidey-Sense.
Dont be afraid of any gift that has been given to you. Everyone has a purpose, and I think (and many will agree) that this awakening of our minds, this...flood of others who seem to have these insane psychic-related abilities is quite possibly the next stage in human evolution.

Hope this helps, Sekhmet!

In “Shamanic State” response to your implied question: Why are so many strong psychics manifesting in such large numbers, at the current time?

Strong psychics--especially Empaths--are being manifest so quickly because there is SO, SO, SO, SO, SO much dispear, fear, pain, disgust, doubt, anger and sorrow flooding the psychic newtwork from nearly 6 Billion people: it is now self sustaining, and begining to be all consuming. Those feelings need to be channelled towards healing the Entire Planet--BOTH as a magnificent biosystem AND as a conscious being we call MOM: the one we all first learned to give & receive LOVE with.

Celebrate your feelings of insanity and breakdown. The breakdown allows for the rebuilding. Remember this if nothing else...The breakdown allows for the rebuilding. The breakdown allows for the rebuilding. If you like, say it seven times in a row aloud every day. The breakdown allows for the rebuilding. Welcome to the life of service, Sekhmet. You are a blessed being. Know you are loved, protected, and remain humble in your greatness. I celebrate you!
Now, "The breakdown allows for the rebuilding"... HAHAHA have fun and joy with yourself.
Love and Light,
