Hi,Im a 17 year old girl and lately i have been feeling more stressed,tired,depressed and clumsy than usual.i often find myself not having the energy or motivation to do anything and constantly feeling anxious. I am also having trouble with simple tasks, i seem to forget where i have put something in the matter of minutes and just the other day when i was asked to do a simple task of putting powdered milk into a bottle (8 spoons) i found myself struggling to remember/ count how many spoons i had already put in. I had to repeat this 4 times and each time i just got more confused. Lately i have just been one nervous, depressed mess but i dont have the confidence to speak to ANYONE about it.
