I think it's mainly my concentration, I think, that is slowly getting worse... I mean there are so many times per lesson where I will completely zone out so that I can't really understand what the teacher is saying, and this happens even when I am interested in what the teacher is saying.
I'm also experiencing some difficulty when reading, as in I keep misreading things like earlier today I read motor as metro, patience as practice, and pancho as psycho. This is quite new, but I have no idea why it's happening. There has also been one instance where I was trying to read a sheet but found it incredibly difficult because I was seeing some strange lines, that I knew weren't actually there, all over the paper.
My grades have also dropped recently (although that may be more to do with the change from secondary school to sixth form), and I'm just wondering if there's a logical explanation for my problems or if it is simply that I'm slacking? I just don't really know what to think.

When was the last time, you saw an ophthalmologist?

I have never seen an ophthalmologist, and don't really understand what one is, but I have been to an optician ever since I was 4 if that has anything to do with anything...

How much sleep have you been getting? And are you on any meds?

I get generally between 7-8.5 hours of sleep a night. And no, I'm not on any medication.

I have the "reading words wrong" problem that you mentioned. It started when I got chronic fatigue syndrome. (CFS/ME) I've never seen anything like the non-existent lines on the paper that you mentioned, though.

You *are* at a stressful point in your school career. However, if your energy level is generally good, you're sleeping well, and you don't have an eyesight problem, it's not immediately obvious what might be causing the problem.

I can't remember if you said how long this problem has been going on. I probably would tell someone. I don't know if your school has a person to talk to about learning anxiety or learning disabilities (whether it's stress-caused or a medical problem, I'd say it's causing you a learning disability right now.)

In general, telling your parents would be good, too. I would just be very matter-of-fact about the symptoms you are having.

I hope you get this solved.
