Wow,something's REALLY wrong with me.


Question Posted Thursday July 12 2007, 11:15 pm

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.

Its sounds like your anemic.
my mom had this and it made her vary sick and the doctors said if she waited any longer to go there it would be very serious. Its when you have a loss of iron in your blood. She even had to get surgery to stop her period because when you loose blood you loose lots of red blood cells and then you loose energy and iron. You deffinatly want to go to the doctor as soon as you can.

You have an iron deficiency.

This could be something serious as others have said, OR it could be that you are having too much sleep, and you are so used to being in dreamland that you never fully awake during the day. Try setting the alarm clock so you get only eight hours of sleep everyday.

But if you feel that it really is something serious, definitley see a doctor ASAP, don't wait for it to get worse.

I am NOT a doctor... But I strongly recommend you see one ASAP.

Don't forget to have your thyroid checked.

The symptoms you describe are damaging your ability to function in everyday life, which means you need to seek a doctor's advice right away.

Don't wait, do it now. Please?

are you having a lot of family problems or friend problems? or are you having a lot of homework or anything stressful at all? because when i was in school i was having a lot of family problems plus a shit load of homework so i was so unfocused i couldn't do anything and i could sleep more then half the day away. seriously people used to get so mad at me after the fifth time of me saying " wait...what did you say?" lol. if its not actually a physical health problem it could be stress

I've been through the same thing. Go to the doctors and get a blood test. I found out I'm borderline anemic. My iron levels were so low and i was always so lost/tired. It's probably an iron deficiency.
You'll just take an iron pill every day. It really helps but I forgot to take em with me on my vacation and I totally understand you with the whole unable to listen and focus. If not, then a doctor will run tests and diagnose you. A lot of things have similar symptoms so someone on here can't give you the perfect diagnois

It could have a lot to do with your environment.
try finding a fairly inexpensive resort somewhere away from cities. (for example if you live in the Northeaster US Vermont Mountains, or the Adirondaks.. just open country) It'll clear your head, take your mind off things. and just stay there for a good week. and let the symptoms run their course. Things like your symptoms happen to me often, typically when I haven't vacationed in a while.
If that doesn't work try making a routine out of your day. And be persistent if it doesn't work out at first. For instance, once you wake up, Shower, change, Eat, Read a Newspaper, Go for a walk, exercise, Eat lunch, relax. Just something that you can get used to so your mind always knows what comes next.

*Side note, on the eye/forehead issue. I had experienced that aswell.. try increasing your iron intake. It turned out that I have a deficiency of iron... just give it a try for a week and see if anything changes.
