Hey everyone
So, I’ve been dealing with this thing for a while now, but honestly, I never really looked at it as an actual "problem"... I just figured it was some weird phase or whatever. But now that I’m turning 19—almost 20—it’s starting to hit me that I probably need to deal with this, maybe even get a little professional help to figure it out...
The thing is, my self-confidence is basically non-existent, and it feels like my brain is just... shrinking? Like my intelligence is hitting zero every single day. When I actually try to think about something, my brain just completely shuts down on me, which makes talking to people a total nightmare. I'll be right in the middle of a conversation and suddenly I can't find a single real answer to what was asked, or I just can't hold a normal flow... And when someone tries to explain something to me, it’s like it goes in one ear and straight out the other because I just don't get what people are saying at all. I actually *want* to learn new stuff, I have this genuine hunger for knowledge and I try so hard, but I just can't make it stick because my concentration and memory are totally trashed... eventually, I just give up because let's face it, persistence isn't exactly my strong suit... everything is just a struggle... It’s starting to mess with my life way too much and I really need some advice. Does anyone have any suggestions if you've ever felt this way before? Seriously, any response means the world to me. Thanks!
