用英语作文写给心理医生的一封信
Dear Dr. Wilson,
My name is Timmy and I'm 9 years old. My teacher Mrs. Rogers said I should write to you because I've been having some troubles lately. I'm not really sure how to explain everything, but I'll try my best.
School has been really hard for me this year. I just can't seem to focus or pay attention like I used to. In class, my mind starts wandering and I zone out a lot. Then the teacher calls on me and I have no idea what she just said or what we're even learning about. I get in trouble for not paying attention almost every day.
It's not that I don't try. I really do try my hardest. But my brain feels like a little hamster is running on a wheel in there and I can't get it to slow down. I'll be working on my math worksheet and then my mind drifts off thinking about other things like my favorite video game or what I want for my next birthday. Before I know it, I've missed all the instructions and have no clue how to do the problems.
Reading is also really hard now. I used to love reading books, but now the letters just jumble together on the page. I read the same sentences over and over and still can't remember what
they said. I just space out constantly. It's like someone pops a little balloon of fog in my brain and I get lost in my own thoughts.
At home, my parents are always getting frustrated with me for not listening. They have to repeat themselves five times before I actually hear what they said. I feel bad about it and I don't mean to zone out on them. My dad thinks I'm just being rude or not paying attention on purpose, but I'm really not trying to! I hear him the first time, but then my brain farts and I totally forget what he said within two seconds.
Sometimes I have a hard time following long conversations or when people tell stories or give me instructions. It's like a traffic jam happens in my brain and I get stuck on one part of what they said so the rest of it just whooshes right over my head. My friend Tyler was telling me about this really cool video game yesterday, but I missed huge chunks of what he said because I kept zoning out.
I also feel really antsy and fidgety a lot of the time. It's so hard for me to sit still, especially at school. I'm always tapping my foot, clicking my pencil, or wiggling around in my seat because I have all this energy inside that I can't get out. Sometimes I just totally space out and stare into space when I'm supposed to be
working. I just get so distracted by every little sound or movement around me. A bird could fly past the window and my brain would be like "WHOA LOOK A BIRD!" and I'd missed everything else going on.
At recess and after school, I'm a totally different kid though. Once I can run around and get my energy out, I feel so much better. I can actually focus pretty well when I'm active and doing things. Sports are my favorite because I can really pay attention and follow what's going on. Video games are okay for a little while too, but I get restless if I sit for too long.
I've also been having more fights and arguments with my friends lately. I just feel crankier than usual and get set off really easily, even over tiny things. Or sometimes I butt into conversations without meaning to because I have a hard time waiting my turn to talk. Then my friends get mad at me and I get mad at them and we end up fighting over something dumb. I don't mean to be annoying or rude, my brain just jumps ahead before my mouth can catch up.
Sometimes I even get mad at myself and feel really down. When I constantly zone out or make careless mistakes, I call myself names like "stupid" or "idiot." I beat myself up over it even though I'm trying my hardest. I get frustrated that I can't
control my brain or pay attention like the other kids in my class. It makes me feel dumb and like there's something wrong with me. I'll get mad and throw my books across the room, then immediately feel guilty about it. No matter how hard I try, it feels impossible to slow my brain down sometimes.
Writing this all out has helped me explain what's going on a little better, even though it's still pretty confusing to me too. I don't know why my brain works this way or how to make it stop. I'm really struggling, Dr. Wilson. Do you have any advice or ideas about what could be causing all of this? I want to do better at school and be a better listener, but I don't know how to fix my wandering brain. Please help me figure this out! It would mean so much to me.
Sincerely,
Timmy。
