Hi Doug,

Some of the medications I've taken have blunted my cognition, but not all of them. I managed to graduate with a 3.8 GPA, and I've been accepted to graduate school. (But, I graduated from a state school, so maybe you would consider that to be less significant of an accomplishment.)

SSRIs can deplete dopamine and instate a pseudo-ADD problem. I've noticed this in myself. I've stopped taking SSRI-type medications and experienced my "old" self back, although my old self is still depressed and anxious.

I hear a lot of "shoulds" in your posts. How you "should" be performing at some level or be some sort of person. It sounds like you're very unhappy. It can be painful to have life circumstances change, but maybe you can focus on the things you can do, instead of the things you can't? You don't need to be a CEO to be happy. (I certainly hope not, since I'll never be one and don't plan to.) Best of luck through this difficult time.
