I’m not exactly sure where this would go, but since its opinion-based I thought this forum would be the best idea.
Okay, I’ve had the following issues for years now, some for my whole life. Its just lately they’ve become quite a bit of a complication and I’m trying to figure out what could be up with me because its all so conflicting.
My major issue is procrastination that goes beyond what I imagine others have. When I’m assigned a piece of work to do, especially if its problem-based, I will try to sit down and work it out but it’s like the page gets unfocused or my brain starts sliding away from it. I’ll sometimes get through the problems, sometimes do a piece and give up, or sometimes simply not do it at all. It’s even happening in this post, with my brain sort of wandering off for periods as my fingers go on complete auto-pilot. I’m not thinking about anything else, I just switch off completely.
I have trouble writing long papers and have learned how to compress what I want to say into a very short space so I can get it done. I also seem to have multiple windows active when browsing the internet, constantly shuffling back and forth between them as I read a bit here or a bit there. Sometimes, even when doing that, I’ll just stop and completely float away from whats going on.
There are days when my energy level feels so low that I can’t get anything done, yet I still feel restless. I actively avoid human contact during those periods, but tend to prowl the house aimlessly trying to find something which will continually interest me. It feels like my entire brain is saturated in a fog, like I’m still asleep and my mind is trying to find some activity which can snap me out of it. During these periods I also tend to have a very short fuse for people and tasks I deem silly or irrelevant (read: most of them) or I simply rest my head in my arms and close my eyes. I also feel sometimes overwhelming depression and annoyance with myself.
My motor functions during this period also tend to become awkward, although they’re hardly graceful to begin with. I run into things, mis-step, and my hands tend to get cold and shake (although the coffee intake probably doesn’t help there 
). My gait becomes stiff instead of smooth and I tend to walk in ways that cause pain.
Sometimes I feel like there’s someone or something right on the edge of my vision or just right behind me, something bad or wrong. I can still function during these periods, as in go down darkened stairs to get a glass of water or watch TV, but I tend to do so at a run or a very cautious clip, constantly listening and watching for things wrong even though I have no evidence to base that fear on.
During classes I will completely glaze over, doodling in my notebooks instead of focusing on what is going on. I constantly have to recenter my attention on the teacher, but then lose track again. So far this has not harmed my GPA, as apparently the important bits do get through and what I don’t know I can often deduce, but as the classes get more advanced and build on each other, I worry I’ll start hurting more.
I’m tired of doing this on and off every day of my life, tired of shutting out and avoiding friends because the task of talking with them overwhelms me, tired of being snappish at my parents for asking simple questions, tired of never turning in work because I just couldn’t get it done. What the heck is up with me?
