Venting Brain rot is killing me

[deleted fren]

My brain is deteriorating. It has been for the last few years. I am terrified of even taking an IQ test at this point because I know it'd probably be sub 80. (It was 103 when I was 17, 93 at 18, 87 at 19. It's been lowering every year.) I am now incapable of having conversations IRL with other people because I cannot think of anything to say in response to their statements. Thus my interactions with family now end in silence as I desperately try to find something to say.

My reaction times have also deteriorated. I cannot come close to beating video games I could easily finish when I was a child. I tried playing through Donkey Kong Country (one of my favorites growing up) and I couldn't do it. I was incapable of reacting fast enough. Likewise I experience the same in online shooters as well. I just can't get the number of kills I was able to in my youth.

I genuinely believe I have dementia.

believe I have dementia. I sound and act like Joe Biden. One day I'll forget how to even speak

Do you take drugs

No

 

[blackbabooneykiller]

No

I felt that way in 2021, playing games all day and watching dumb shit made me feel like i was having dementia. Once i left playing and started working out that went partially away

read it all and dont remember what you wrote, thats the state of my current mental capacity, at least i could read most of it without getting distracted, so i guess that's a plus.

Almost all of your posts are well thought out and written opinions. I highly doubt if you were to take a genuine IQ test you would score something under 100.

My brain rot is also bad. I forget stuff easily. Here's a funny story. I was putting some tools away after using them, and I put what I thought was the air compressor nozzle into the toolbox, and put what I thought was my truck key on the table. When I went to drive the truck again, I found the compressor nozzle on the table and not the key. I was panicking because I only have one set of keys for it, and then remembered putting stuff away. Looked in the toolbox and there was the truck key.

But in all seriousness, I know my IQ is lower now than when I was like 12-13. It has to be after so much loneliness, physical health issues, and brutal insomnia

Nah you have a pretty high IQ Fren. The loneliness will mess with your memory though. Especially when every day feels similar.

My IQ is decent still, but I know it's not as good as it used to be, the memory part at least.
