Something is wrong with my brain. When I’m doing things that require a little intelligence I can do good for a while but it’s like my brain just runs out of juice and stays in that state until I’m confident again… It’s like a dummy stare my brain goes into. Starting to realize I’m gonna have to compensate and work around my broken brain

It has a name. Its called Schizophrenia mate. Take your meds and seek out some therapy, so you can learn some coping skills.
Saying that - Alot of us are quite intelligent, so im sure you got some skill that you excel in x.

My brain does the same thing.
As I’m getting older my cognition is going down the toilet more and more.
For me it’s a combination of taking these psych meds over a span of many years and my advancing age.
Believe it or not participating on this forum is helping to keep me sharp a bit
Yeah @Andrey is right, continue taking your meds it’s important even though it may dull your senses

Was it me you wanted to tag, @Wave ?
Sure I take my meds and luckily abilify no longer dulls my senses (I suspect illness itself did that in the past, not the AP). I do feel much less emotional these days, at first I saw it as a great loss but it might be a blessing in disguise.
Sole dark cloud on my skies is social phobia or maybe embarrassment, I can’t look people in the eye and can’t express myself as freely as I once used to.
In writing no problem though, thank heavens.
