Hello. I am 23 years old from a small town in Bulgaria. I study law. However, I do not feel like it at all, as with most mental and intellectual obstacles along the way. I feel that I make an incredible effort to achieve even a small result, but when an exam comes to me, exercises with a practical focus, I myself become entangled in my own ignorance. I get relatively good grades, but against the background of diligence and diligence, they are ridiculous. I feel that there is no way to help people, to give them the right advice. Here comes the problem. Periodically, as my apparent retardation accumulates, I become depressed (at least that's how my doctor describes it). I explain to her in detail how my thinking and logic are somehow dulled, and she says that one should be happy with what he is. How can I be happy with being stupid at the table. I took some pills in the process of the so-called "disease", but I think it has a root cause and it is a consequence of my mental problems. I feel that I forget things so quickly that I don't understand them, that I don't understand them and I don't realize them. Reading a book is the same story - the book passes me by, I can't even form an opinion or remember characters for more than 1 week. If I don't read it during this period - everything goes to hell. Watching a movie is identical - I do not understand and often can not grasp the idea and the event as a whole. Then I watch children aged 15-16 passionately comment and get excited. How to enjoy what I have, to be happy in my own way, when things are not going well. I have often thought of suicide. I am in the same period now, the same situation. I don't want to go to the doctor - he will tell me the same things again and he will prescribe me pills again. In 3-4 months everything will be "the same", but again I will go like shit in the university (and now outside it) unperceived, misunderstood and unthinking. I want this fixed, but it doesn't work. Please help with advice - I will be grateful. I think there are people here who are more than one doctor with memorized cues. thanks

I am in the same situation, with the difference that I am a girl and I am 25 !!! I am writing to tell you that you are not alone. And I hope someone writes with a proposal to solve the problem, because I don't know the algorithm. I give you a hug!
Dear boy, from the way you wrote all this, you don't seem to be stupid at all ... I don't know how you feel and I can't understand you, but I'm sure that at the age of 23 thoughts of suicide are unnecessary. There is always something to live for, find it and be really happy with what you are. It is told to you by an old man who, at 63, still finds joy in life.
Hi. I have a relative with the same problems but now he is studying to be a laboratory assistant, after passing an exam for 4 years in a row, it turned out to be high adrenaline. Good luck
by the author: This is the only thing I can talk and write about. Everything else seemed dead to me. I do not take on any knowledge other than elementary constructions, as if some weak mechanical memory has been developed in me, leaving no trace of anything more. I can memorize numbers and numbers, but not put them into any words and make logical judgments, be able to say something and a whole thought to flow a thought. I try to change that, but it doesn't work, and that's why depression leads. I just see the difference between me and the others as an average table.
Tell me, if not now, then some time ago you did not overdo the amount of information received? For example, have you gone too far with the Internet - games, Facebook, porn, music, etc. ??? Your brain is self-cleansing. Leave him and don't force anything on him for a while. In the meantime, drink at least 1,000 milligrams of salmon fish oil every day. It's magical - not only does it sharpen the mind, but it also cures depression. Improves mood, motivation and self-esteem.
The law is not for you! This is your disease. He finished him more or less to tease him and look for his vocation. Berry
It's not that you study law. A person is the same in whatever he does and in any situation. I am an example of this. I have never seen a more pathetic and inadequate person than myself. Whatever situation you put me in, whatever people I am in, I am just inadequate and that will not change for life. Others see it, but unfortunately, perhaps out of indifference, no one has ever told me anything on the subject. I have been suffering from my stupidity for as long as I can remember. Don't think it's just you. If you knew me, you would calm down how much worse he is than you. Here again I was in such a situation in which not once but three times I showed and proved my inability to perceive, respectively, and I acted, to put it mildly, absurd and illogical - as every other time. There is no cure for this. It's like telling a completely normal person with adequate and logical reactions to become like you. To support this claim, I copied two definitions from Wikipedia of what is stupidity and what is intelligence. "Stupidity is the lack of intelligence, ability to understand, reason, mind or sober judgment." "Intelligence is a term used to describe the human ability to think, analyze and synthesize information. to think, perceive and realize information, as well as to use it. "That is, in short and clear in two sentences. I'm just stupid, I lack any intellect and that can't change, despite my efforts and I don't stop doing it. Accept, that there should be such people and try to perceive yourself that way and live with this heavy thought. I don't know if this feeling of pity will ever pass through my life. And I was fired because I was stupid and couldn't think and act right. I have two options - either to accept living with this thought for the rest of my life or to commit suicide soon to stop this torture.
It's not just about remembering. It is right to say what intellect is and what stupidity is. I see myself as inadequate to the present century. I use the same clichés. I learn and learn things, and then nothing. I can't make logical connections. I can't explain the schemes and I study them almost like a parrot and it's not just now. My simplest way to try is 10 English words. I'm trying to learn them - it doesn't work. 5 minutes after I saw them and I tried to remember them, it didn't work. It is not up to the acceptance of information, as they say. I don't play games, I've tried because I've seen 12-13 year olds have fun with them, and I can't figure anything out. They explain to me comp. things, I can't apply them later, I have to call again and again. I often forget what and how I said, even though I say the same clichéd thing. I have a hard time forming an opinion about something. This with movies and books has been around for a long time. I hope to find a job that is not mentally capable. I see my problem everywhere and among all people. I'm just like an idiot. I catch myself spelling while reading an attitude, I start writing H instead of C. I don't know how to explain it with what and how. I'm interested in sports, and I forget that and get into funny situations and get to the point where I'm being teased by my friends, lest I'm on heroin. Others tell me "not to read between the lines". I really don't feel like a person who meets the criteria for a person. I have pushed so far with a lot of effort and diligence, but I feel unworthy of what I have achieved. And yes - it's not out of lack of self-confidence. I like a lot of qualities in myself, but I see that I am incapable of anything. This is what I wanted to say - the author.
you are very distracted, you suffer from distraction syndrome. I always read a book without thinking about things, I just read it but I think about completely different things ... calmly, just when you feel that you are in such a state, say to yourself, hey, will I study or will I take a nap? I have to take the right!
Hello, I have a problem and I do not know what is due. I have a problem memorizing basic things. I go to university and when we have labs after they explain something to me, then I forget everything, and big trouble happens later. What can I do to solve this problem?
Hello, if you feel better, I'm in the same hall. My quick memory is very useless and that's why I keep recording, I'm a secretary and I keep non-stop notes so that I can be in the race .... I know my resources and I hide in company for a while, so at least I don't look like a fool. I am that I will not change and I have lowered my EGO to a low position. Otherwise it is very complicated and difficult to maintain unrealistically high self-esteem. There is no way everyone can be smart, there must be balance and I am on the other side ..... Do not think that I do not envy some of my smart colleagues, but God poured, poured and forgot to stop the tap :)
Abe people, look at her! These are not writings of stupid and inadequate people, but of smart, but with low self-esteem. And this can be rooted in your childhood, in the high demands of parents and teachers to you. Work on your self-esteem and don't think you're stupid. Look, do real fools suffer from being stupid? Of course, they don't realize it. You are just sensitive by nature, which makes you more prone to depression. Be aware and love yourself! Heads up! :)
I have the same difficulties that the author describes, and I don't think it's because we're stupid. I think it's depression. As a child, I understood everything very quickly and I only had sixes in school. They even made me help other children. For several years, however, I have been living in stress due to health problems and hence depression, and I have noticed the same symptoms. It's hard for me to concentrate or remember anything. With great effort I understand anything (books, movies, etc.) I just feel dumb and definitely not myself! In my opinion, it is not what leads you to depression, but the opposite - these are symptoms of depression. For the others who have commented, it is also clear that they are not stupid. These are symptoms, don't take offense yourself! And once you put it in your head that you don't have opportunities and you're worried about it,
