Is it normal this is happening?

Lately, I haven't been able to remember my grammar lessons. When I was a kid I could remember the rules, but now I can barely remember anything. I can't tell when I'm making a sentence fragment, if I'm writing a run-on sentence, where to put comas,etc. I'm having a hard time spelling. Also I've been having a hard time understanding my first language. I hear people speak it and I'm like WTF are they talking about? I can hear what they say, but it's almost like I'm listening to a foreign language. I end up having to pretend that I know what's been said and hoping I can finish the conversation right. The strange thing is that if I hear something like French then I feel like I can understand it, even though I can't speak French.
The language thing sometimes would periodically happen to me as a child. It once lasted a few months, I guess, and some people around me called me a idiot, because It was like I couldn't understand. Two years ago in the summer, I was repeatedly hit in the head, I never went to the hospital. After all of it I didn't feel the same anymore, I felt slightly different. I've always had a slight memory problem, but I think this is different... Does anyone know what's wrong with me? Is it seriously? I'm kinda scared! Please, help me!

    This isn't a problem you should hide, tell your parents. Even if they get mad, be a selfish shellfish and demand yourself checked out. Cause your life is on the line, like the others said

      I tried, but I was told that I probably just needed vitamins. I was told not to bring it up to my doctor, because they said it would make her think that weren't doing their job.

        Why do they care what other people think...try whining that they don't care enough for your well being. God if these were parents I would not see them ever again when I turn 18. Not to be rude but they sound like real A-Holes. I know they're your parents but they sound very controlling. I heard that you can divorce parents for being to controlling but it costs alot.

          I've tried to bring up certain aspects of my health with them. Like the fact that I clearly have some sort of emotional disorder and they always get offended and start flipping out! I can't talk sense with these people! At least I'm aware that I need some form of help, that alone should say that I'm not too far gone. They're strange. One minute they agree that I might have something, then the next they change their minds and accuse me of altering the situation, being selfish, and lying!

          You're not rude, but quite right! You seem to have read my mind, better than anyone I know! When, I turn 18 and go to college, I plan to get an restraining order against the whole family! They are very controlling. They're constantly worried that social services will be called over the littlest of things! The way I've been raised has caused me to be afraid of people. I want independence, but I feel trapped! I'll probably have to write a post on here about my bizarre situation. I fear that it is far too long and complicated to stick in this little box:(

          Nothing they do makes sense. For instance, I'm supposed to go to Canada before I go to college. I would love to stay there and go to college or go to college in NYC, but my family says that It's to far away and that I wouldn't be able to handle it and I have to go to college in my state. Yet, I can stay a summer in Canada and be able to handle all of that?!

          Health wise, they say I can only be diagnosed when I'm 18.
          I feel like mentally things are getting worse, so I worry that It might be perhaps too late to wait till I'm of age....

            you realize that
            A) this could be deadly.
            B) your family are being idiots
            and
            C) you need to be 18 to go on the site.

            you need to stop listening, strap on a pair and get yourself checked out before its too late!!! im worried for you. my friend had similar to this, turns out she had a brain tumor. she died becuse she waited too long. please go to a doctor.

              I'n fully aware of the rules for this site. I have done some research and due to my findings I strongly believe that I have a brain tumor. Keep in mind that I've been experiencing bizarre neurological issues since I was a small child. If the cause of my problems is in fact a brain tumor then keeping in mind the aforementioned, I have to wonder if I've had a "brain tumor" all this time. I know I don't have brain cancer because I would most likely have died a long time ago. I know that I need to see a neurologist. I know that I should've seen a neurologist a long time ago but that was out of my power to do so. I have decided to get a brain scan after my birthday.

    If I try to go to the doctors my family will get mad. If I try to make an appointment they always demand to know why and if they don't agree then I can't go... It's very complicated and I don't think it's normal:(

      I have a ADHD and even I can remember basic grammar. I don't think your family is normal what the HELL IS WRONG WITH THEM?! This is serious your brain is something you can't mess with and I dont think the doctors will do anything to you without the permission of your parents. There are so many possibilities of what you might have. Try explaining to your parents what you have. Make it sound serious and why the hell were you repeatedly hit in the head if you don't mind me asking?

        I was diagnosed with ADHD, but I'm starting to think that I was misdiagnosed. I think I might Aspergers among other things. I have just about every single symptom. One of the symptoms is being unable to understand language. So maybe that's it....

        Don't worry it's okay.

        I've had to deal with my family's fucked up mentality for most of my life.
        It's a combination of strange religious bullshit and the south.

        They have this thing about how your business should only be shared with your family and no one else. They even had a problem with me seeing a psychiatrist, because I was supposedly telling him my problems as opposed to them! There have been times where I would tell my friends things and somehow they'd find out and literally flip out! They think my friends shouldn't know my business and I should basically lie to them, but I can't do that!

        They all need therapy!

    Joybird, There are two main reasons I can't go. 1. I'm terrified of anything doctor related & 2. It's my family.....

    I can't see a doctor, because no one really believes me. (if that makes any sense) the people who believe me sadly don't have a say in the manner & therefore they can't help me. Someone, told me it could be a neurological disorder, but I didn't tell them that I thought it was connected to my "head injuries".

    I was in numerous locations on my head with footballs (the American version) and someone deliberately kept hitting me with one of those strange coloured blocks that people stick in lunches. It was still kinda cold and it gave me a headache.
    I nearly cried, It just really hurt.

      Totally baffled as to why you can't see a doctor.

      A doctor would believe you and run some tests.

      I had a head injury many years ago and lost my memory. I experienced what you said about people talking in a different language. However my brain was only 'bruised' and the damage wasn't permanent. When I went deaf last December the first thing the hospital looked for was a tiny tumour which they said can be quite common. My sister had extreme headaches before she took a brain haemorrhage!!!

      Please go to the doctor or hospital for tests / scans - even for peace of mind.

      Good luck.

        I've seen doctors, but so far none of them have neurologists.

        I take vitamins, but lately I noticed this problem has increased. I think it might be some sort of neurological disorder or that I might have a tumor. I would rather have it be a mental illness, than the latter. I'm sure a doctor would believe me. That is if I got a good one and was able to do it without my family knowing. I can't, so I'll have to wait when I'm in college or have moved to europe....

    I feel like you guys aren't even being serious here. I can't go to the doctors about this.... I'm going to have to wait. I'm sorry if I didn't skip any lines, but I was writing it all in a hurry.

    I don't have a hearing disorder, I have perfect hearing. I've always passed my hearing tests with good results.

    I forgot to mention that I get intense headaches in the same place.

    Maybe, I have a Brain tumour? But it's not like I could go to anyone for help.

      'intense headaches' ?

      Why again can't you go to the doctors?

      The 21yo guy across the road got into a fight on a hot Saturday night some years ago, he complained that he had a shocking headache.
      His Dad said you can sleep outside on the deck chair because he kept spewing up everywhere.
      In the morning he was dead
      Cause of death, blow to brain causing internal bleeding.

      See a doctor.

    "Two years ago in the summer, I was repeatedly hit in the head, I never went to the hospital. After all of it I didn't feel the same anymore, I felt slightly different."

    Actually, it does sound a little of a concern (although, it could be just normal, everyday kid who has a million and one things going through their mind).

    Still, I'd say have a checkup at the doctors, just to be safe. You could even have a hearing disorder, who knows?

    Oh, and try line spacing in your long posts, its much easier on the eye.
