Am I getting worse?

Post Reply New Topic

I once wrote a long list of reasons that I've heard people cite for why they're experiencing something like this.

Frankly adolescence seems like enough to do it on its own, but there's always other things, and I'm probably biased because I experienced a massive set of shifts in abilities throughout adolescence.

I will buy stress, the world is getting bigger and changing fast, it seems you cannot keep up, and that is the time to bag it.

More time alone, a long hot bath, make sure you get enough sleep, keep regular hours, keep your homework done.

Boring is good for you, better to be on the top of your game half the time, than falling behind all the time.

Shut down, battery charge, reboot.

When going through a desert, make sure you drink water. Not too much, not too little, pace yourself, rest durning the intense middle of the day.

Teen life is an effort. You will not miss anything by taking care of yourself. It is an age when you have to learn how, that food and sleep stuff works.

I find that drawing brings control to my hands, and gives my mind a pleasent task. I do not draw well.

Also, at least for me, time without having to deal with language, and time without having to deal with people, are as essential as sleep, which means I have to take that time every day. If I forget for long enough, then language comprehension/etc just starts cutting out on its own at critical points in time instead of more voluntarily taking a break from it.
