Im damn stupid.
Even though i have a fucking masters degree in engineering i can't compute 5+7 without thinking about it for several seconds.
I get even slower when drinking alcohol, then i start having problems remembering names and concepts.
It can be hard even when im sober, because i know so much stuff, but it gets even harder when im drunk.
Im getting really tired of this bullshit, i feel like my own mental inability is the main force hindering me from doing cool stuff in my life.
Right now i have 9-5 job, and im one of the best guys they have, i think, but still, one of the things stopping me the most is my low iq.
Could this be a disease, like beginning alzheimer's or some other shit?

Sleep more and socialize more. It sounds like a stress response from anxiety, depression, or some sort of emotional neglect.
I've found that acetylcholine-acting supplements help me with brain fog. Such as alpha gpc, uridine, centrophenoxine. I have a schizo spectrum disorder and I use them to treat the negative symptoms

You have a fucking masters degree in EN-fucking-GINEERING, Anon. You are smart and most likely know how to deal with some heavy ammounts of work and stress, kudos.
>"I can't compute 5+7 without thinking about it"
So? That's normal, we aren't fucking rainman and a good deal of the people need a moment to count.
>"I get even slower when drinking alcohol"
Again, normal; Alcohol has never made ANYONE smarter.
Yer not stupid, just being unfairly hard on yerself. Take a break, man.

Dude, you're taking this too seriously. The only reason I can do math like that so fast is because I work at a primary school level all the time, and even then I still have to think about it sometimes. You think slowly. Big whoop. Engineering requires exact measurements, so this is a good thing I'd you really think about it. You're making sure what you're doing makes sense.
>I get even slower when I drink alcohol
Who the fuck thinks faster after alcohol?

Intelligence is about learning new things, not remembering them.
