Has any of you experienced this? I used to be relatively smart and up on my Veeky Forums and philosophy (I was very interested in these subjects). I used to explain things and be very articulate in what I said. Now I honestly have trouble explaining what I mean on a more critical level. I can't retain anything anymore. I forgot all the past philosophies I have read over.
I feel like a falling idiot most of the time now. My vocabulary has gotten smaller and I always have to check the thesaurus for better words. Some things I know, but their so in deep I have no recollection of it if I have to think it up on my own. I hate being like this.
I used to read daily and read up to 15 books a year. I haven't been keeping up with it the last year but I noticed the regression probably 2 years(probably a little more) ago. What do? Would reading help stimulate my brain? I just find it hard to enjoy something when I know I won't have any recollection about it in the future.

Sometimes I feel this way, but I think it is largely because my attention span is fucked up from using my phone and browsing Veeky Forums all day. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

Thanks, can't believe I almost responded seriously.

Take a break from the internet and your phone. I guarantee it'll help, at least a little bit. Maybe take some classes at a local community college to get your mind to be a bit more active.

Oh this is me, except I took a shit ton of xanax in my last 2 years of high school and it fucked with my memory. Am still suffering years later for it.

Do you have a job and partner?

No job or partner.
I go to school part time and have been looking for a job for the past year though. No such luck finding one.
