Why can't I think straight?

I'm a 18 year old girl. And I get this feeling a lot.

I randomly get very scatter brainy, can't think straight, feel very tensed, and can't process anything.

Someone will tell me something, I can here it, but I just don't process it. I have to sit there and go over it in my head over and over or ask the persons to repeat it.

When I get around people or if it gets really noisy (like that 24/7 at my house) I will shut down (not me at all) and start feeling very tensed and almost confused. I just feel like screaming "shut up" so it will b quiet.

What is causing this???

When I was in elementary school I had a mild case of almost every learning disability there is (ADD, dyslexic, memory loss, and so on) just not bad anuff to b certified as having a learning disability and to get much extra help.

Could that have something do do with it? Please what is causing this?

Thanks

    Well the thing is that this may not be caused by your learning disability, but your ears.

    I am 19 and I have been listening to music through headphones a lot. But in the past year something happened - I can hear what people say but I dont understand and if there is many noises in the room (tv, radio, more people talking) i cant focus on just one. The thing is your ears have lost a bit of connection to your brain.
