This is so utterly self-absorbed of me, but I'll proceed nontheless. Every few months, I am plagued by the creeping sense that my intellect and the finer points of my personality are eroding and that I am "becoming stupid". Sometimes I ascribe it to depression, other times to a simple crisis of faith, still other times, to a brain tumour.
Does anyone else move through times like these? When everything you banked on personality-wise, is no longer available to you, and you become convinced that you're "devolving" somehow?
It's so bad at present that I am avoiding seeing friends for fear of having to "acquit" myself as an interesting person, when I no longer feel capable of being at all insightful or substantial.
