Can't concentrate

[Pencil123]

Hello all,
I have been having problems for maybe the past year. I can't concentrate on anything at all, and if I do happen to concentrate I will fall asleep. Sometimes I find something that really interests me, whether it is a book i want to read or a speech I want listen to, I will concentrate for a little while then will begin to fall asleep. My mind seems to wonder off and be blank. It's almost like my mind refuses to think anything at all. I also confuse myself, when I'm driving home I forget the route I take everyday and confuse them with other routes. I am also very forgetful and absent minded, I can be talking to a friend and get distracted and not listen to them at all. I also get confused when people give me verbal directions, I panic when trying to follow their instructions because it feels as though they just spoke to me in a different language, I mean I understand their words, I just can't piece together the meaning and actually understand what they are saying. I have also noticed that I have an issue with trying to stay calm, I can't control my anger anymore, I get mad easily and fustrated, although I seem not the type because I'm always laughing. I'm getting really worried because it has started to interfere with my learning speed in school.

Thank you! Actually it makes sense, I was just worried and hoped it wasn't anything serious. Thank you very much!(:

This is a short-term experience so I would not give it too much emphasis. At your age there are a lot of developmental changes, both physical and emotional. You are evolving into an adult and this can be uncomfortable. I would not like to be 17 again, but I wouldn't mind being 27.
