have u ever felt like this...

for quite a while I've been feeling very stupid.. I mean I get what people say( classes, and everything, not at the fast rate I could, guessing cuz of the disease and meds I'm using) but I do..I 'just'don't think by myself...I never think logically.. it;s driving me nuts.. I mean when people say it, I'm like ou yeah.. but I couldn't think of it by myself.. I was always pretty smart, my parents and brother are also.. so maybe I'm just to occupied with my intrussive SA thoughts.. and maybe when I don't get one thing that perhaps I shouldn't of even got.. I stay on that thought.. and therefore can't think further.,. until another " not get" comes again.. dunno if u got me...lol and because of my fear of being stupid... that's been increasing lately, very fast...

Hi Chained,

I think I understand. The past few months I've had the same problem. I'm afraid to open my mouth and something stupid comes out. in the past I had confidence in my opinions... now it seems stupid. Before I say something, I run it through my head and decide to rather keep it to myself.

Keep me up to date with your progress!
 
I have something similar. If you are not happy like depression I think your brain does not function right. Are you suffering from some form of depression?

I think i understood. Sometimes if i don't get something right away i feel like an idiot, or i fear giving the wrong response and look stupid... or i keep bashing myself for things i didn't understand or possible mistakes i had.

I guess it's depression... intrussive thoughts... low self - esteem.. my doctor said only intelligent people can doubt their intelluigence... kinda makes sense... thx for the reply, really made me feel better :D u can add me on msn [email protected] :D

If I encounter one person smarter than me out of 20, I'll spend the next day feeling like a complete moron. I've always been hard on my self in that regard. Also, I've always had problems conveying what I think and feel, not to mention a quick-witted, nit-picky family that jumps on any misspoken phrase or fact like a pack of hyenas. Ha Ha

So I understand what you're saying. I sometimes get so preoccupied with thinking I'm gonna look like a buffoon that I can't think at all.
