I don't know where to put this so I'll put it here. I need help. My girlfriend just started experencing something really weird. First she said that her brain went insane and she completely forgot who I was, and then she remembered again. Then she said she was getting hot flashes. AND THEN she said she kept getting the memory loss about me, and also said she didn't feel like she was herself. Note, we're 16 years old, so this can't be menopause, which is what brief research on google showed me. She also said shes getting short of breath.

WHAT COULD THIS BE? HELP PLEASE!!!

(Could this be stress-related? There's been a few stressful things going on lately, but she says they arent bothering her. Could it be subconscious? Like shes stressing herself out without even knowing?)

Ok, now shes scairng me. Shes scaring me. Really. She's acting all happy and calling me her dady and being really weird. OMG. What do i do?

Edit: I jogged hre memroy by telling her some of our memories, and she even joined in and talked about them too. And then asked for a nap and asked me to call her in a half hour.

I'm thinking this could all be related to her childhood. Her parents split up and stuff and she was recently talking about her family and childhood, could that make her act verycrazy like this

Your girlfriend needs to see someone. Like a professional. Don't try to diagnose her, get her to a doctor.

I mentioned that, but she got really mad at it. She once was at a hospital for cutting, and she always reminds me how horrible it was and how she never wants to go back. And I'm not of age to be able to do it for her, and I feel really awkward telling her mom about it all...This has never happened before, in the near 4 months we've been dating...and it's just all so weird and unexpected...

She now forgets it all....the phone and everything...

Sounds like you are dealing with a person with mental health issues.

Since she was in the hospital for cutting, she no doubt needs medical attention again and most likely is suppose to be on medication. She may not be taking her meds, if she is suppose on some.

For your own peace of mind, you would be wise to find yourself another girlfriend who does not have a mental illness.

My son had a girlfriend one time and while she was in the mental hospital she threatened to kill herself if he left her. It is not a position you should be placed in, you should not be held on to via threats.

Free yourself from this girlfriend and save yourself a lot of misery. You probably should tell her parents so they can seek the proper medical care for her.
