I'm a 23 year old student, and i've been
having odd manifestations for a while, not
so bad right now, but they come and go and
seem to be getting worse.
I'll be talking to someone and suddenly
i'll drop 2 or 3 syllables from what i'm
saying. This has happened for a fairly
long time, but only occasionally, say when
i'm anxious. Then it started happening
more, and for a while it was coming on
really badly in spells. It would get
difficult to keep talking. Something
similar with my handwriting--i make a lot
of mistakes in my handwriting. I tend to
drop letters, even though i'm a good
speller and I don't use spellcheck. If
i've been writing a lot by hand, the
problem diminishes, but it's still
there.
Also my memory has always been a little
shaky, but there are times when I can't
remember the simplest things. Names of
really famous actors and musicians,
particular words, what I just ordered...
I was convinced it was hypoglycemia, since
I tend to get tired after I eat, to the
point where I have to avoid eating for a
while to focus on my studying.
I talked to my doctor and she didn't seem
to think it was hypoglycemia. She said it
sounded like some kind of metabolic
problem and that I should see a
neurologist, but that was just about the
time I was moving. I don't know of any
neurologists around here and I don't want
to spend a lot of money if she was just
trying to calm my hypochondria, you know?
(i am kind of a hypochondriac.)
also my libido has been diminishing. I
tend to get depressed, but i'm not on
antidepressants any more and my mood is
more stable than ever.
Does anyone know what might be going on?

It doesn't seem directly related to
stress, maybe more to whether i've been
eating healthy and sleeping enough. I've
probably been under more stress recently,
more demanding courses etc, but i've had
less of an issue. The reason i'm posting
is I don't really know where all this
comes from or whether I should be worried
about it.
Is there anything else that causes this
stuff, or is it always stress in your
case?

It's not stress. I'm pretty definite
this is hypoglycemia because i've lived it
first hand. I sent you a private
message, please read and respond
immediately so I can tell you what you
need to do. Please, please take this
seriously, if you don't you'll end
up worse and potentially face some
terrible things worse than what you're
talking about now.
