So I think I'm getting dumber
 
Seriously for the past few months, I think I'm getting dumber. I have been searching for words, can't concentrate, don't remember things 5 minutes after my boss tells me them or I read them. I always had a pretty shitty short term and long term memory but I was pretty smart. I went to school for engineering and put in very little effort except for cramming for 2 nights before tests, and got a b average. I still comprehend mechanical things no problem but its like I have extreme ADD, which I've always kind of assumed I did, but now its pretty bad.

Then there was this post by that smart guy, which kind of scared me.

IP banning him is all well and good, but the guy needs to see a doctor and make sure he doesn't have a brain tumor or some really weird blood sugar thing that keeps him from thinking clearly.

I've suspected I may have blood sugar issues for a while now due to the fact that I never really lose or gain weight no matter how good or bad I eat or how much I work out. Also if I don't eat every few hours I get tired as ----, get headaches, and can't think straight. Also I have been pretty unmotivated to do anything, just general laziness and tiredness. I know these are signs of depression but I don't think thats it.

I don't know why I'm asking you people but do you think I should go to the doc. Also does anyone know a site to take a free iq test without them asking for a bunch of personal info.

Got medical? Use it, co pays are minimal and you sound like your young enough they won't try to analy probe you (though you would probably like that wouldn't you). Could be a number of different things.

Good luck with it .... medical issues shouldn't be taken lightly.

smoked a little around 13-24 years old, none since, no drugs at all. Other than booze which I have cut back recently.
