Hi guys.

A few months ago I made a post here pertaining to an unknown condition which I thought was somehow attributed to "pre-exam stress". Well, now my exams (GCSEs) are over things haven't gotten any better; in fact, "things" seem to have gotten worse.

*I have terrible trouble with spelling now, I frequently confuse "ie" and "ei" in words such as "piece". I also mis-spell simple words and have to frequently check spellings as my mind refuses to "work" - even though I know somewhere in my mind knows exactly what the correct spelling may be.

*Another problem is my intelligence. Overall, it appears to be waning. My logic used to be second to none. But now it has to be "forced" out and doing so can take quite some work and usually ends in frustration.

*My short-term memory seems to have gotten worse also, I forget things seconds after i've read, re-read and read things again. It's almost laughable the amount of times I have to go through things. My long-term memory however is perfect, I can recall most things from the ages three and up without trouble.

*Linguistically, I'm terrible. I used to be a good speaker but now I slur certain words and find it difficult to say words such as "Wristwatch" (I say "Wistwatch a lot") I also find it difficult to use complex words in speech.

*Swallowing food can sometimes be difficult

* I quite often "find myself" gazing emptily at an object almost as if "i'm in the zone"/zoned out

* I often make stupidly random mistakes such as typing "bucks" instead of "books", jabbing the spacebar too early, typing letters and sometimes whole words early, capitalising random letters at the start of words... the list is quite long.


I have been experiencing said symptoms for just over two years now, initially I just used to laugh it off but now, I feel that things are a bit more serious.
