Concentrating - December 25th 2011, 04:54 AM

So, I have been troubles with concentrating lately. I can't seem to concentrate when people are talking to me. I seem to not be able to look at the person and I focus on something behind them, I listen to what they are saying and I keep up with the conversation, but I'm just unable to focus on them. It's the same with school stuff. I can't seem to focus very long on that either, without my attention being drawn somewhere else. And when I do try to really concentrate on someone or my studies, I get headaches right behind my eyes.

Should I be worried about this?

Do your eyes hurt when you try to look at someone talking to you and is it only really a problem when they're close to you?
I would just go to your doctor.

No it's not my eyes that hurts I get headaches if I try to concentrate on them, and it's just difficult to concentrate in general.

It's hard to explain, but really annoying.

Do you have any trama? Perhaps you don't do well on homework so it scares you because your afraid of failing? And to deal with that anxiety your mind takes you away from the situation? The only reason I ask is because that happens to me all the time and it sounded that your could be similar. But it's kind of a shot in the dark.

I haven't sustained any trauma recently, but I did awhile ago. Also I did do really bad in one of my classes last semester, if that counts.
