So in 3 months, without touching anything other than prescription drugs (no alchohol, no street drugs, etc.), I have lost aspects of my short and long-term memory. I have also had slowed thinking and a somewhat changed personality -- I'm not as opinionated as I used to be.
Doctors have checked me out over and over and find nothing.
Meanwhile, I've missed school, stopped working at my job, and socialized less.
I really need to move on now, despite what happened. But it's very hard to not wonder why? why? why? has this happened to me? How can I ensure it doesn't get worse? How can I get well?
Any advice on moving on from this situation? I'm already trying to start myself on a regular schedule (which has been erratic), I'm taking a class right now, and I'm looking for a job. But I want joy, not just fake external structure.
Does this sound like a nervous breakdown?
