So, I think I my brain hemispheres arent being used as they are supposed to. Background: A few hours ago, I felt my left brain, after a period of 4 years of not being able to do the following, turn on and I am able to recall what I read almost photographically and do math like nobodys business, and I feel "normal" with the exception of weird periods of stress(though that probably has to do with my lack of sleep in the past day). But, whats strange is Ive been going through these periods for years.

0-8th grade, photographic memory but intense laziness to avoid stressing myself out, had been searching for how to be social more, 8th -12 I gave up and used my skills, got incredibly stressed out, not popular to say the least, but got straight As and accepted into every college of my choice, 13 in total to set the perspective I guess. Theeeeeen in college got depressed in my search to become social and didnt do any work, couldnt process language in written form very well, and transferred out. Then 2 years later, I wanted to enter college again, and got a surge of brain power, my forehead felt like it was on fire, I was able to analyze verbal, memorization was amazing, math skills werent superb however, but my verbal skills made me literally a super lawyer type to the point where people, including my professors, considered my answers "the end all be all"(though they still lacked the mathematical precision I would have liked though I would have never told them that). Even my Professors asked for recommendations from me for promotions in their careers. I was unstoppable. Then, after my task to get those grades was complete(this was all prereq work for a year to get into my main choice college and major), I went to college and literally couldnt remember a damn thing. Actually the "event" happened when I was a few weeks away from entering, where my forehead just literally became cold. One moment hot, next moment cold...Then I became incredibly social, but the lack of my mathematical ability and memorization skills just depressed me again. At the same time however, I went on a process of becoming a fearless public speaker(and fearless about anything to be honest). And then, just a few hours ago, my brain hemispheres switched again. And now my stomach is in waves of either knots or intense relaxation, and my abilities to memorize and calculate(I can literally see the numbers floating in my head and I can calculate them waaaay easier with me being able to hold them there spatially)are amazing, but my logic and verbal skills and overall intelligence for that matter are off(despite my lack of sleep, which was a choice actually though I have had considerable insomnia prior).

Seriously, what the hell is going on? and how can I control it? I just want to be able to use my whole brain like a normal person..
Correlations obviously include my strong intent/goal for what the skill that is dominating my attention at the time, but how do I balance myself

Thanks.

lmfao got me stumped, the only explaination I can think of is some kind of seizure disorder, or traumatic brain injury.

I've read many articles in which certain injuries to the brain can cause neurological impairments like Tourettism, Alien Hand Syndrome and sometimes synthenesia.

You ever like hit your cranium incredibly hard? Like maybe concussively hard? Black out even?

Maybe it's a blood circulatory thing...that sounds stupid but you'd be surprised of what problems with the heart and kidneys can do to the brain.

Do you have swollen feet? legs? or ankles? Trouble breathing and chest pains/pressure?
