Hi /fit/I'm a computer technician. I like to think that I live fairly healthily, running three times a week, trying to sleeping 7 hours a day, lifting consistently, etc. Recently, though, I've made some fairly costly mistakes at my job, all stemming from a bizarre wave of unawareness that's been hitting me for I think two years now. I'm not old, just turned 22, but i can feel myself getting dumber and slower by the day, making mistakes I'd never made before, giving into impulses, having a harder time studying than ever. Does anyone relate? Has anyone successfully reverted their mental decay? I'm not even sure if this is really happening or not. It's freaking me out, to be honest.
>>77166516Sleep more retard
get checked nigga
>>77166516Have you considered using your brain?
>>77166626It's been getting harder to do so.>>77166520How do i even go about that, if you mean it literally? Should i get a blood test?
Nigger that sounds like a brain tumor
>>77166686Actually use your brain. Solve a math equation
>>77166516Number of mRNA jabs?
>>77166698I do that fairly frequently, since I'm studying Calculus and Physics at my local Uni, but I feel like I've been getting slower on that department as well, compared to when i first got into college. >>77166695Maybe? I don't get headaches or anything like that, though, but I'm going to look it up. >>77166708As far as I know, none
>>77166516Unironically stop consuming online slop, social media, porn, and this motherfucking site.
>>77166516>>77166519>>77166895probably correct. Doom scrolling and short form content brainrot is terrible. I have it too and it sucks. Very tough to shake.
>>77166516That's not normal, intelligence and mental speed peak around 27 for mean (~13 for females). You should still be becoming noticeably sharper.
>>77166708You're retarded.>>77166866>As far as I know, noneYou have to be extra retarded not to know if you've had a vaccine or not.>>77166698>Actually use your brain. Solve a math equationThis is also retarded advice. At 22, your brain isn't going to noticeably decline because you're not using it to its fullest potential. You may not be making gains, but you certainly wouldn't have a noticeable degredation.>>77166516It is absolutely not normal or common to have noticeable mental decline at 22. In most areas, you should be at your peak mental acuity from around 22-28, much like many athletic attributes. Nearly all of the most famous theories in all of human history were made by scientists between 22-28. Theory of relativity? 26. Laws of motion? 23. Since you are already retarded, go to your primary care physician, a.k.a. family doctor. Fucking talk to him about it instead of dumbasses on /fit/. He can direct you to specialists and lead you through the process.Your PCP sucks and you should seek a new one if:1) He dismisses your concerns outright2) He refuses to refer you to specialists after exhausting normal/easy methods (more sleep, better diet)3) He sets the timeline for results to be unreasonably long, e.g. he wants you to try an Omega-3 rich diet for like a fucking year.The issue with #3 is that if >>77166695 is right, time is not on your side, and the sooner your doctors figure it out, the better. It is far better to waste money on tests that you ended up not needing (like an MRI) than to dick around because some doctor is afraid of insurance companies not authorizing tests and find out you acted too late.
>>77166516Check for carbon monoxide or mold spores at your place.
>>77166901I don't really consume slop. I don't have any social media, but I do come here fairly often, there's that.>>77166913>You have to be extra retarded not to know if you've had a vaccine or not.obviously, lmao. I just didn't want to give him a proper answer. >go to your primary care physicianI don't have one, but I will set up an appointment ASAP. Thank you for the sound advice. >>77166942I spend most of my time with my windows open, so it shouldn't be a problem, right? Regardless, I'll check it out, thank you.
>>77166902This. I was pretty stupid and emotional (big problem, get your emotions under control) in my early 20s. At 26 I feel like I'm much more mentally stable and able to learn things/retain things better
>>77166913>You're retarded.mRNA vax produces spike protein.Spike protein causes blood clots, including microclots that you may not be aware of.Blood clots cause neurodegeneration.Neurodegeneration causes dementia.Tell me which one of those is false, smart guy.
Do not ever take meds, especially not head meds, especially not antipsychotics. DO NOT take any pharma.
i'd check for obvious stuff like sleep quality and apnea first, you don't need to be a fat ass to have it. do you feel tired often and are you actually sleeping at least 7 hours every night or just "trying"? install an app that records sounds you make when you sleep and see if you're snoring, gasping, or making any weird noises. if you are, go get a sleep study done. stress and abusing alcohol or caffeine also fuck you up, so try to go a couple weeks without drinking and <1 caffeinated drink a day before 2pm.get some blood work done and see if they come up with anything weird like deficiencies. try to keep a somewhat "normal" schedule and wake up before 10am and sleep before 1am. more than likely you're fine, especially if you're not suddenly being forgetful of things you know well, are having mood swings, or anything of that caliber. still, work through the easy and most common stuff first.
>>77166516What do you eat? Believe it or not, your diet can have a very powerful effect on your mind. You may not be aware of what kind of mild allergies, sensitivities or intolerances you have because they don't show up physically but they can show up via impatience, irritability, impulsivity i.e. you act without thinking, you don't get to choose what your mind pays attention to and what it ignores, and you forget things all the time.For example, histamine sensitivity can appear as ADD as the only symptom. Many different foods accumulate histamines the longer they sit, let's say you made a pizza one evening, ate half of it before bed and left the rest for breakfast. That morning pizza, since it's no longer fresh, has accumulated a lot of histamines and now it's causing all kinds of inflammation in your brain, suddenly you cannot focus on a task, your mind wanders from one nonsense to another, you cannot do your work properly. I have been studying this diet -> mind connection for a long time and believe me there is a lot to it.
