Unhappy Tumor, cancer, or just psychological problems?

Hey so im not sure exactly what is going on with me but its been going on since maybe february.

the symptons are:

-i feel distant all the time.

-my lisp has come back [had it till i was about 9, currently 21(could be from my wisdom teetj growing in horizontally)].

-i have developed severe social anxiety, even when talking with good friends i have had since i was in 1st grade/parents/cousins (stumbling, misuse of common/easy words, mind fog so i cant think of words).

-i used to be able to read in my head and to others very well and now it has become something like a 4th grade level (throw in random words that are not on the page, stumble, just overall read noticeably slower).

-i cant really walk in a straight line.

In general i feel like i've lost intelligence, became a watered down version of my old self and that just makes me even more depressed when i look back at how witty i used to be. My quick mind was the thing i loved most about myself. I never even had to think of things to say, they just came to me. Now i have to rummage through my seemingly dusty whithered brain to find a word that WORKS but not the IDEAL word for the statement.

My theories are the following:
- maybe i have a brain tumor or cancer? I know thats like worst case but its still a possibility and i honestly wouldnt be heart broken if thats the culprit, i would just be happy for finding out whats going on with me.

- maybe stress got to me and made me get social anxiety bringing the stumbling and lisp with it. Then since i had said problems, i tried to avoid being social with people in fear of messing up words and looking incompetent. Which lead to depression thus worsening the anxiety which lead to an evem worse case of depression and so on in a vicious cycle.
