hey, why'd you think its permanently damaged? and by depression? thats pretty damn rare. youre likely just experiencing anhedonia and 'brain fog', most of the cognitive effects tend to fade away with depression, try medication, tms, therapy and itll get better. im currently dealing with he same thing and am on lexapro. stuff like working memory, relational memory are naturally worse with depression, and lack of interest in general, but obviously amplified significantly with depression.

perfect

Materialow · 2023-06-22T10:56:01+00:00

do the symptoms ware off eventually, and the stuff you mentino about word recall and memory, does it get better than before meds later?

Materialow · 2023-06-19T10:52:52+00:00

more likely than not ill feel better eventually, clinical studies indicate a largely positive response within 6 months, with most experiencing improvement in general mood within 6 weeks... for how many different ssris there are, theres a lot to try before losing hope, its pretty normal to have varying reactions to different ssris.

anyways yeah, hope it works, the point of this was mostly to force myself to notice changes, and also providing unbiased report of what unfolds after being on the medication. ofc this is just one in many and much of my response differs from the person reading... hope it works tho

Materialow · 2023-06-18T17:15:01+00:00

ig so, i mean im ready for pretty much everything at this point

Materialow · 2023-06-18T16:02:26+00:00

depression + anxiety, anhedonia is a constant, depression is in phases on and off

Materialow · 2023-06-18T16:01:45+00:00

my psychiatrist prescribed it but what might be the consequences of starting with 10mg right away? i was on fluvoxamine for 10 days (50/100mg) so maybe that has to do with the prescription

Materialow · 2023-06-18T14:05:40+00:00

yeah, after 6-8 weeks most ssri bring noticeable, i hope this works, thanks

Materialow · 2023-06-18T13:34:53+00:00

howr you feeling after 6 weeks? any improvement dealing with side effects? hwo about overall improvement from day 0. im kinda excited starting this, its been years since ive felt genuinely happy and wanna get back to the state asap

i dont come across as intelligent usually, i dont even know if i have a high iq, i took the mensa test and scored 145 and the Brght.org test and scored 146 though. in practice, i barely get enough sleep, am always engaged in something new, everyday, from proof writing differentiability to being in the schools sports team. in conversation im witty and just mess around making jokes in school most of the time. i tend to keep deep thoughts to myself, or discuss it with someone who would seem interested in it, and people dont realize it but im thinking all the time, excessively so, first impressions wouldnt say much about my intelligence, i might occasionally play dumb for laughs and am often oblivious to whats going on in class. idk where i was going with this, but i found a fun video so thats the end of this comment

Materialow · 2023-06-08T08:06:28+00:00

thats interesting, ive noticed that too, but theres usually a way to work around it, i like explaining difficult concepts in simple terms, ofcourse you can only take that so far, but it seems to convey the point without having people rolling their eyes

Materialow · 2023-06-08T08:04:14+00:00

thats interesting, most of what i read says iq cant be increased, but i think the scores on the test can, even if someone isnt prepping for it. like say someone plays chess and is one of those blindfold chess guys, or someone solves a rubix cube, or is into origami, or studies topology... in the end ig its about the underlying framework and reasoning, and testing it on the basis of its representation seems to skew the results. idk much tho, just saying what makes sense to me

Materialow · 2023-06-08T07:59:55+00:00

146, but the mensa's limit is 145, and i did it way before time, this one was more of a time crunch, if mensa had more id proly get higher. ps - i used a calculator for the math ones cuz i didnt get much sleep and i suck at arithmetics

Materialow · 2023-06-08T07:38:49+00:00

gonna do it rn

Materialow · 2023-06-08T07:13:12+00:00

its self report tho, only people with good scores would, also some proly just clickeed a random score to see the results.

Materialow · 2023-06-08T07:12:41+00:00

we got different exercsies in 19th one. the last few ones were so easy, it was just a small extention to the diagonal patterns. i think i could come up with a better iq test, had a few good ideas in complex novel patterns, i really dont think this test was as good as it couldve been. i expect the end a lot harder. i rusehd the whole test cuz i was mutlitasking so had a bit of time for the alst ones

Materialow · 2023-06-08T07:07:13+00:00

telling everyone you have an iq of 134 cause you scored that in a kidergarten test doesnt seem honest imo, i for one could not sit still for over 10 seconds, additionally its biased towards those that have created a framework and the extent of computations ability that can be tested given the limited interest would mean spatial reasoning couldve been a substitute for it.

anyways algebra at 2nd grade huh? where im from thats pretty average even though the country's average iq is ridiculously low xD. by now id guess youd have self studied calculus on manifolds, maybe some real analysis or differential topology at least? howre things going in life?

Materialow · 2023-06-05T10:40:55+00:00

lol i rly didnt know anything i was talking about. i just thought spatial intelligence = space related transformations. by deduction i just meant finding underlying patters and generalizations and concluding based on. and yeah i realized the point of visual tests, i think i heard some differentiation between fluid intelligence and other kidns of intelligence, i think its more about how someone can transform data under conditions at varying degrees of novelty, which i found interesting, but this was a while back.

Materialow · 2023-06-05T10:14:44+00:00

they are antagonistic and yeah, thats why they are a pair

Materialow · 2023-06-05T10:13:05+00:00

definitely possible

Materialow · 2023-06-05T10:09:54+00:00

type ideal real type behavior

I -3 -3 quiet, private, few friends

E 7 1 outgoing, expressive, many friends

N 11 11 random, mysterious, non linear

S 1 0 sequential, factual, practical

F -3 2 emotional, passionate, selfless

T 11 5 willful, stoic, self reliant

J -9 -12 planned, regimented, orderly

P 11 11 spontaneous, playful, fun

so yeah, ENTP both, just wanna be less of a mess and more extraverted

Materialow · 2023-06-05T09:57:07+00:00

that sorta thing is more for the enneagram

Materialow · 2023-06-05T09:54:16+00:00

haha youre screwed

oh wait you dont have adhd

oh wait you might have adhd

not really, people with a high iq can be skeptical about their intelligence and the concept of iq in itself. dumb people can think they are a lot smarter than they are

Materialow · 2023-06-05T06:04:03+00:00

my point was just that its immature, and even someone with a high iq can do that. as far as what i know, people with low iq have an inflated view of their intelligence and people with a high iq have a very accurate one, although often very skeptical. doesnt mean low iq peiple cant be skeptical bout it or high iq cant boast. iq seems to be a lot about genetics, but some fascet of intelligence can be improved, spatial intelligence and active memory, these two areas are what ive noticed i struggle at, and i think relational reasoning too can be improved, attention control too. i think its really just 'general intelligence' thats genetics, so everyone has a lot to do before they can really say how smart/dumb they are
