I can't think straight ever.


Question Posted Thursday August 5 2010, 3:33 pm

14/f

I have a hard time explaining myself. I can NEVER find the right words. It's almost like I can't think on my feet.. I more recently can't remember some semi-unimportant things like movie titles of movies I saw or when 'whatever' happened like dates. This morning I woke up and had a hard time remembering if I took a shower the night before. I don't think it's anything extremely serious. You know how when you call your friend by the wrong name? I do that almost every time and it's like that with other things too like just when we are talking.. I just can't think and it's very hard to speak and make sense.

I'm sorry this probably sounds stupid and doesn't make sense but I can't find the right words to explain myself so I just gave up and wrote how I was thinking.

I really have to strain myself to find the right words and I have a hard time talking in a conversation without feeling like I make no sense.

My friend keeps telling me she thinks something is wrong with my brain..

and I asked ChaCha(lol) "Why can't I think straight ever?" And it said "I'm not exactly sure what you mean by thinking straight, but if you have problems focusing or concentrating, you should speak to a therapist or doctor who may be able to help you with the problem".

This is all over the place but whatever.. I give up trying to make sense.

One last thing, it's not like I'm an idiot though I do get A's and B's. I mostly get like this when I am with my friends, though. It's just very frustrating.

I used to be like that, had trouble communicating and then always felt like i wasn making any sense... but i got through it. For one just relax and be confident in who you are. You probably just get like that around friends because you get nervous that you'll mess up again. And when you set your mind on it that much, its bound to happen over and over... just dont let that in your head.
Therapy could really help though. If you can go and talk to a therapist comfortably, then theres no reason why you can't talk to everyone else that way.
Have you talked to your parents about it? If this is serious enough to you, talk to your parents and ask them about solutions. There are medications you can get that calm your body. Usualy these drugs are prescribed to patients with ADD or ADHD. What it does is calm the body and gives the mind stronger focus. That is bound to let you think straighter and focus more.
Hope you feel better and goodluck!
