Sometimes I feel literally retarded, like I can’t perform basic tasks that I should be able to do. I never know if I’m doing anything right, like today for the first time in my life I had to go to a laundromat and I felt like I was doing something wrong the whole time. I always feel like I learn basic things slower than other people.

Is this a sign of low IQ? Sometimes when people give me a bunch of directions it feels like there’s a lot of pressure within my head and I start to blank out and can never follow the directions. Like yesterday at a drive thru the lady told me to pull up and go to a specific location, it felt like it took me much longer than it should to find that location.

Again, are these signs of low IQ? Or just anxiety or something? Or am I just too hard on myself?

Probably comes from a very high degree of self-consciousness and self-doubt. This is how I assess my own struggle with what you've explained. However, I think a low IQ/mental handicap would preclude being able to be self-conscious or have self-doubt, for whatever that's worth.

meditation isn't a temporary fix anon. You get a bit of mental clarity at first but after time it stays with you, until you're completely present. When you get there not meditating won't even seem like an option to you cause the need will feel like something basic you need like drinking water.

Meditation + healthy food and exercise are god tier ways of having mental clarity and getting control over your life.

>How to know if you have low IQ
just spend a lot of time paying attention to all the things that make you stupid, how most people are smarter than you. notice your inferior capacity for information processing, abstraction, memorization, how some people just get things you couldn't wrap your head around in a lifetime, how long it takes you to become competent at basic tasks next to the millions who master them on the first go. but i wouldn't waste time thinking about this, ruminating on your own stupidity isn't very helpful.
>today for the first time in my life I had to go to a laundromat and I felt like I was doing something wrong the whole time
that sounds normal, it was your first time, you probably were doing something wrong. you being able to go to the laundromat to do laundry by yourself, slowly or not, says your IQ must be above 80.
>Sometimes when people give me a bunch of directions it feels like there’s a lot of pressure within my head and I start to blank out and can never follow the directions
that might just be anxiety, you'll probably get better at following the directions the more you get used to asking people for them. i just use my phone for directions without any issues.
>no clear mental image like I used to have
i have this as well, meditation sounds like maybe it could help. could be long-term brain damage from extreme sleep deprivation like the other anon said, this is likely the case for me, make sure you're sleeping enough. id keep lifting, my mood and attitude usually improve after exercise. smoking weed sometimes helps me to focus and see mental images, maybe see if it works for you.
you're probably not that stupid and just have depression and anxiety. maybe see a doctor and get meds or just order them online and see if issues persist. maybe spend some time off the internet, a couple weeks in nature to refresh the mind and soul, find inner peace.

if you have (or have had) amalgam (silver) dental fillings, the bottom line is that you absolutely have some degree of mercury poisoning
the vast majority of the mercury that is absorbed by your body never leaves; the current medical approach assumes that mercury does leave your body after some time, but somehow, that the damage which it does to organs is irreversible. this is bizarre. organs sampled for mercury post-mortem frequently report high mercury levels with increased age—which makes sense, given that the body's detoxification pathways for mercury are quickly totally overwhelmed by anything but background levels.
i could give you a bigger sales pitch, but the bottom line is, it wouldn't hurt you to try emeramide when you (and i) can finally get our hands on it; it's an extremely effective mercury chelator and extremely potent antioxidant that's literally fucking non-toxic. zero side effects. it literally only seems to do good things in both humans and animals that take it. the guy who discovered that it was non-toxic says that he's been taking it every day for 12 years, and he has the glutathione levels of a teenager. of course, the FDA halted its sale eight years ago on the grounds that the product was a "drug" and not a "supplement" (even though it had sold quite well and nobody reported any adverse reactions from taking it to either the FDA or the company that had manufactured it (and to this day, even through numerous studies and clinical trials, no adverse reactions to the drug have been observed in even doses as high as 0.5% the body weight of the animal taking it), and now the guy who made it has to do expensive bureaucratic gymnastics to get it approved

whatthefuck
okay
i've got a cold and feel even more fuked up than usual, but you niggers need to look up stuff to do with emeramide (henceforth referred to as NBMI) and emeramed, like, RIGHT NOW. start thinking about potential sources of mercury exposure that you've encountered, especially including dental amalgam (once again, silver) fillings; mercury poisoning disproportionately affects males, because testosterone amplifies the toxic effects of mercury by several dozen times over. boyd haley—emeramed's founder, and a respected scientist from the university of kentucky—literally describes exactly this in his research.
i mean—shit. NBMI is exactly the stuff you're looking for, and i STRESS that. i fucking swear to shit, the insane fucking nonsense i've gone through to come to this conclusion, while taking regular mercury chelators and everything; if you have had amalgams, you absolutely do have mercury poisoning, to some degree—and you are very likely to suffer instant acute mercury poisoning from having them drilled out of your mouth. vaccines containing thimerosal abso-fucking-lutely do induce mercury poisoning and autism, and a great deal of evidence that they do can be found in viewing the effects of NBMI, when it was sold as a supplement named OSR#1, circa 2008-2010, on autistic children.
fucking WATCH this presentation by haley at the IAOMT, and look more into the symptoms of mercury poisoning; i could tell you all the shit i suffer or try to answer any questions you have, if you wish.

Anons have you ever had a head/back injury? When I was younger I was hit in the jaw and my head was sitting a bit off on my spine (along with a really unnatural curve in my neck). This caused me to sleep poorly, feel dizzy often, slow thinking/reaction times and just feel off overall. If you have ever had a car accident/sport injury/or just feel stiff in your neck or back I would consider looking into this. Search Gonstead chiropractors on YT for examples, my fav is Dr. Rahim

given the very low permeability of liquid mercury in human tissue, it's very extremely unlikely that you're fucked—and it is also unlikely that the chronic oxidative stress that you suffer from that particular instance of exposure is far too serious. there are people who drink shots of elemental mercury as a party trick with the understanding being that it doesn't hurt you—but, of course, this is an idiotic thing to do to yourself; the very small amount of it that *is* absorbed remains in your body practically forever, with all of the devastating negative effects that that tiny amount of mercury brings.
if you're worried about it, then taking NBMI (once it's available through means other than compasionate/special access programmes) in ANY amount will not hurt you in the slightest, and should completely alleviate any damage to your body that the absorbed mercury's sustained presence allows, in addition to any symptoms that you have from that particular instance of exposure.
just for reference, in that video, a study in which rats who were administered 14x the lethal dose of mercuric chloride was talked about; the control group (which was administered no NBMI) all died in a very short period of time after injection, but in the test group (which was administered 150mg NBMI per kg body weight), four of the six rats were left not only *surviving*, but behaving completely normally at the 168 hour mark. the thing about those other two rats is that haley claims that they were very likely mishandled during injections, and died of infection; the fact that the other four rats in this group lived for several months afterwards before being put down, developing no cancers, backs up this claim quite nicely.
this kind of efficacy has never before been documented in any kind of metal chelator, and it primarily has to do with NBMI's ability to cross lipid barriers (as well as the blood-brain barrier), in addition to its virtually permanent bond to mercury.

>>11043471
by the way,
my advice in this situation would be to simply get NBMI whenever it's finally available
it's the most incredible molecule; a fucking chelator that alleviates mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, iron, copper, and zinc poisoning (among other metal toxicities) that also cures autism and neutralizes the shit out of hydroxyl free radicals in your body—all while not depleting you of any of the essential metals that it chelates (iron, copper, zinc), and elevating your glutathione levels.
it's literally the manifestation of "do no harm" medical mantra into a fucking chemical, and then some. you will seriously not be putting yourself at a disadvantage in taking it.

hey anons,
ive tried a lot lately.
from iodone drops in water (fucked my stomach up)
to tons of himalayan salt (no complaints)
garlic drops on my feet (rage +1 also improved athletic performance)

I think what it really adds up to is this:
There was a study done on rats that basically involved blinking lights. once the rats got used to all the stimuli, they ended up becoming like all of us sound.

in short; our phones, notifications, biz/checking crypto, IT ALL feeds our pleasure senses making us dull to normal routine.

The bad part is all of those rats never recovered. neither will we.
I wish I had some sort of cure but it seems there's nothing to help. just get used to it.

i personally have my laptop open while i play vidya. im watching the charts/checking biz while killing people online/eating food/smoking weed.

that level of stimuli can't really be matched. especially since im used to it now. so yeah, normal things are so normal and simple that they become complicated.

just my theory. good luck anons.
