How's everybody holding up up there?
Right now I'm legit thinking I've always overestimated my mental capacity and I'm actually dumber than most of the population. Can't even stay focused for extended periods of time any more. Anyone had this happen?

There have been times in my major specifically I felt like I might be a moron, but usually it just happens due to stress (major tests etc.) and it goes away after awhile.
Bitter sweet mental health moment for me was this week I came to the realization my ex (broke up 2.5 months ago) of 3 years loved me but wasn't actually in love with me, moreso than the idea of having someone.
All in all makes me happy i broke it off, still stings a bit tho
Yes. being aware of it helps. I started forcing myself to keep eye contact with people when they talk and repeat what they say in my mind to help my memory.
I also force my self to focus on every letter I type or write to make sure the spelling is correct.
eventually I started doing it automatically and that helped a lot.
I would not wish a fistula and hemodialysis on any one.
Used to consult at a major medical device company- seen some fucked up shit.
Lately I've been having similar thoughts.
I thought I was so much more intelligent than the average person when I voted for Trump. Now everyone is calling me stupid so I am not sure if I really am.
Feeling the same thing about the girl I'm with right now. Hope it's just a rough patch.
Thanks man I'll try be more proactive about it then.
Shit like that gives me the creeps. Anything that fucks with a functioning human body like that is fucked
Really angry I blew it and didn't go into academia. Wageslavery is dull and intellectually dead. I read and learn on my off time but how the fuck do I find an intellectually challenging job.
What's weighing you down? Do you have debts that stop you from trying anything new or risky?
I'm trying to sleep regularly and at normal times. I can't pull myself away from the computer sometimes.
Having ADD means I get hyperfocused and have poor perception of time. When I eat less (or neglect cooking/eating completely), I become a functioning retard. I can still easily whip up a data structure and otherwise program, but I can't remember to bring my keys out the door and end up locked outside of my apartment. And people constantly act like they understand what ADHD means, that it isn't a real, physical difference in our brains and so on. Yes, the medicine is probably overprescribed and doesn't treat the root cause. That doesn't mean ADHD isn't real. Of course, you can't convince edgy, euphoric armchair psychologists this.
If you're living on your own and supporting yourself, you should really reconsider your life. There are a lot of people out there who cannot manage that.
