I'm forgetting everything and i need help .

Good Morning and welcome to HealingWell,
I am sorry to read that you are into the teenage years and having problems. Your teen years should be filled with joy with some bumps in the road here and there.

Teenagers have to endure both physical and emotional changes. As young person passing through through adolescence you experience sudden desires and find it difficult to make decisions. During this period, however, you come to learn about your qualities and you develop your talents.

I would like to see you talk to your parents re your forgetfulness and your "strange" feelings. Perhaps you need to see your Dr. for a medical examination. Sometimes physical issues cause you to feel the way you do.

I wish you luck and again welcome to HealingWell.

Kindly,

Kitt

thankyou both , and SC , im in the middle of doing my year 8 examinations . this could be why i am stressed and anxious ?

I think even adults have days / moments / weeks when they don't feel themselves.

Remember, too, that as you hit your teen years your brain is going to start adapting to all the new hormones that are starting to flow through your body, and these can change both your thought patterns and your emotional reactions. In some ways it can be a great and exciting thing not to feel yourself, as this can mean that you really are changing and growing . As I said, you may well find that you continue to have feelings like these well into adulthood, and it can help a lot just to observe what you're thinking and feeling and maybe even work out why.

It may well be that you're outgrowing your friends; it happens.

How many exams do you have to go, Mangos? How do you cope with exams generally? Do you find them frightening?

btw, how are you coping in this humidity? Horrible, isn't it?

Anway, Mangos, I thought I'd pop over to your forum and say hello. There are a few Australian moderators, but I'm the one who lives closest to you, and if you ever need some advice about local things, please feel free to ask. It's easiest to find my by email or on the Crohn's forum, but feel free, too, to ask Kitt or one of the other moderators, and they'll be able to find me pretty quickly.

Sending you big getting-through-the-exams hugs,

Ivy.

Gosh, that seems a bit unusual. What made you hyperventilate, if you weren't frightened?

Congrats on finishing your last exam! What a relief. So what's planned for you now that the exams are over? I hope your school does something better for you than they did for us - we just sat around, twiddling our thumbs (or watching videos, if a teacher got organised) for a couple of weeks, feeling hot and desperate for the holidays to start.

I don't have asthma, but I've heard lots about how hard it can be for asthmatics in this sort of weather. Much sympathy to you.

Make sure you take a raincoat (and maybe a boat) to school today, Mangos: we've just had a month's worth of rainfall overnight, and it's heading your way. (And for the record, it's still hot and humid, even with the rain!).

Have a lovely day.

btw, I was thinking last night, maybe it might be a good idea for you to tell your friends you need to visit the library or practice your netball skills or something if you're having a day when your friends are really annoying you. That way, you'll have a bit of space for yourself, and your friends won't notice you're feeling grumpy with them, and you can come back to them when you're feeling better. Sometimes it's nice just to have some space, esp if you've been spending recess and lunch with them all year.

OK, I'm off to sit in front of my fan . Do have a nice day there, and stay dry if you can .

Ivy.
