I am so stupid that I cannot think. MY BRAIN IS F***ING USELESS IT DOES NOT WORK. I feel like I have an IQ of 3. I feel like I have mental progeria. MY BRAIN DOES NOT EXIST. IT IS FUNCTIONLESS. I am losing my mental abilities. First physics goes, now maths. THE ONLY REASON I AM ALIVE IS BECAUSE OF MY INTELLIGENCE. WITHOUT MY INTELLIGENCE I WILL KILL MYSELF FOR SURE.

Has this been going on for a while or is it only recent?

For ages; since I came back from a 4 month stay in a psych ward, my self-confidence has been completely shattered. To myself, I am useless, a piece of s*** that deserves to be chucked in the bin etc etc.
I used to feel good about myself and do really well at school.
I've done well at school except for this first half of term. The school keep telling me that I'm still doing well, but I believe its a conspiracy to keep me sane.
First, I gave up on doing physics in university after doing the Senior Physics Challenge.
I changed to biomedical science.
Now I cannot do my further maths, and maths is the thing I have always been "amazing" at.
I FEEL LIKE MY BRAIN DOESN'T WORK ANY MORE.

And now that I have lost my ability to think and do my work, I really don't know what crazy thing I'll do.
I burst a blood vessel in my eye having a panic attack.
I can't take any more panic attacks.
I need this to stop.

I want my brain back. Now.

I know someone who claims to have AS or HFA and he is dumb as a rock.
I don't think he really has it though, he doesn't show any of the signs at all, which just makes me so pissed off that he was diagnosed and I wasn't.
But anyway, knowing so much ain't all its cracked up to be. Sometimes the truth aint pretty.
Ignorance is bliss, and in a couple decades, if humans still exist, they will all be stupid as hell considering the rapidly dropping IQ rates.
Sometimes I wish I didn't know a lot of the things I know.
Being smart didn't have s**t to do with my grades also, I failed all my classes, despite being one of the smartest guys in the damn school.

I'm signing off the net now.

You see, I am one of those gifted people according to IQ. But right now my brain is f***ed. I need valium or lorazepam. But I have none left.

I'm going to force myself to sleep now and hopefully when I wake up it will all be over.

Ever think those pills are whats f*****g up your brain?
That same dumb as a rock guy I mentioned used to be even dumber before I convinced him to stop taking depression medication. Hes even less depressed now than when he was taking the pills.

I can sympathise because I am in the same position, only older.
Genius IQ and it might as well not be because I am in a constant fog with no concentration and I do not take any meds.

I feel better now. It was only due to stress. My pills are not really doing much to me, because I'm on a low dose.

I'm sorry for alarming you all.

Thank you.

Do you often have mood swings, where you're okay one second and think you might have to kill yourself the next? Perhaps an antidepressant, as opposed to or on top of the sedatives, might help. Or maybe a mood stabilizer if it's really really really severe (and if it causes depression or spaciness, a stimulant and an antidepressant).


Yog, antidepressants prescribed to non-depressed people do often make them depressed. :) I'm just curious; was he depressed enough to be on them and how did you convince him to go off them? And what was he taking? :)

yout not stupid. your just smart in another way. there is some area in wich you excel beyond the ordinary. what it might be, i dont know. but im sure its there. its part of being aspergers. besides, low grades might not be a sign of stupidity, it might be a sign of misunderstanding the schoolwork.


IM f*****g stupid for not being able to express myself fully in this post

If you are depressed, your brain might not be at 100%. Get some help with it. See a psychologist and psychiatrist.

I do feel very similarly. I also feel that I used to be very positive and credit my ability to do well for a while. After last year's final exam I over-relaxed and feel that things will be much worse this year. Teachers tell me that I am doing very well - it just doesn't feel like it.

I want to know how what steps did you take to relieve yourself? It's like I've become 'immune' to my positive achievements and I don't feel that I am doing anything right.

This will be very helpful for myself and any other people with the same question on their minds.
