Whatever your problem is, chances are I have dealt with it- either directly of indirectly- at some point in my life. I've worked as a Social Worker (with issues like mental illness, addiction, disabilities, eating disorders, etc.)
I've also taught school (to teens!)and have experience mentoring them.
In addition to that, I've lived in 4 different countries, many different cities, and worked jobs in all different fields from Software Sales to Fashion Designer.
This diverse life experience has given me knowledge on a wide variety of topics- which I hope I can put to good use here. :-)
So go ahead- ask away!
PS- I do not judge people or speak to them in a condescending way. However, I will be honest and tell you what you NEED to hear, not what you WANT to hear.

Alright,so for the past 2,3 months i've been having these weird symptoms that occur almost everyday. i know you can't diagnose but i just need help from anyone to give me some clues of where its going,if you know anything at all.
I'll give you the symptoms and examples,it might be long.
- Unable to focus
*i never know whats going on around me,i
feel like really lazy and tired. i always get
9+ hours of sleep,its not the lazy tired
people think,its like exuastion all the time.
- Unable to think straight
*I'll mix 2 thoughts and think they're real,
imagine things and for about 30 seconds think
they actually happend.lose track while in the
middle of a story (all the time.)
- Lack of emotion/thoughts
*sometimes i'll just stare at something and
think of nothing,i get out of focus and dizzy
then after a little while i get back into
focus and notice i've been doing that for 3
minutes.
- Sometimes when i'm reading the words will shake on the page.
*only happend a couple of times. im just staring
at the page and then it like gets out of focus
and hurts kind of.
- Sometimes my hands get shakey
*didn't really happen that much but still,
its happen to my right hand it just spazzed
or something. weird.
- Unable to get back into focus for awhile
*like i said,everything blurs out and i
also forget what i was doing after it happens.
- Bad hearing?
*i ALWAYS have to ask people one,two,or three
times to repeat things. mostly because i
can't listen. i try but i just fade away..
i literally don't pay attension every time
i try too. its too hard to pay attension.
the weird part is nothings even on my mind
to distract me. i'm always zoned out?
- i really feel like my head near my eye
area is heavy or something
*like towards my forhead,it just feels wrong.
- always feel dizzy-like
*unable to focus and like i'm looking at things
as if im just watching a movie. i don't think
things are real sometimes either. i ALSO feel
really delayed.i dont know if i already
mentionedthat.
- I CANT REMEMBER THINGS AT ALL.i'm not just
saying it,i literally forget MOST* things i do.
for example,we learned a dance in cspa today.
and tonight i really can remember anything
about it other than it was really hard.
and i'm probably going to have to learn it all over again.
- confused easily
*self-explanitory.i feel slower than the rest though.
-delayed reactions.
- FREQUENT ear popping in left ear.
*yeah,and i have to pull my ear a cirtain way
to clearly hear out of it.
Some other facts: My old sister has been having this too lately, and YES,i eat right, YES, i've been getting my vitamins (i take vitmin pills). YES,i've had enough sleep. thats why i'm taking this seriously. I'm 14,female. (My sister's 20)I DO NOT do drugs,sex,drink, or smoke. if that makes a difference.
any help at all on this,thanks.

Some of these symptoms can be attributed to mental health issues such as depression, but to me this sounds like more of a medical problem.
And given that I don't know your medical history, if you are on any meds, etc. I can't give you any kind of diagnosis. (Not to mention that I am not a doctor).
So my advice is that you see a doctor about this. It may be just be something small, but you never know, so I'd make an appointment right away with your family doctor.
