recurring, navel-gazing fear

Posted by Billy Lavorgna on November 26, 2001, at 0:51:53

This is so utterly self-absorbed of me, but I'll proceed nontheless. Every few months, I am plagued by the creeping sense that my intellect and the finer points of my personality are eroding and that I am "becoming stupid". Sometimes I ascribe it to depression, other times to a simple crisis of faith, still other times, to a brain tumour.
Does anyone else move through times like these? When everything you banked on personality-wise, is no longer available to you, and you become convinced that you're "devolving" somehow?
It's so bad at present that I am avoiding seeing friends for fear of having to "acquit" myself as an interesting person, when I no longer feel capable of being at all insightful or substantial.

my sexual dental-school neighbor came back from vacay tongight. we went to the store snd he bought us a bootle of wine; upon returning to hi pd, i smoked pot and chewed snuff with hi neighbor--the former because i missed it, the latter becasue i'd heard it packed a hard buxx.

this apparently hurt the dental-boy and he said you know i cre about you, i could be the kind of guy that calls you ap at 12:30 and kicks you out three hours later...this inspired me to sit up and smack hin in the face, we had a minor catfight befor i left the house. as i crossed the lawn, he threw the bottle of wone across: "isn't this what you wnayed anyway >" he shouted.

i am scared for us noth, i don't know what went wrong except that i haung and smoked with his roommate instead of havng immediate sex with him.

amd now there is a strewn bottle of wine across the line and hurt feelings.

thoughts?

Don't know if this is what you mean, I feel that i've lost a lot of myself to the point that i wonder if i'm even me anymore. the things i liked most about myself are either long gone or so far dormant they might as well be. sometimes i think it's due to growing older, sometimes i think that it's the times that don't encourage anything that stands out, original, interesting different. I just sort of exist day to day now. I did feel smarter, brighter, quicker, more alive and passionate before. Now I feel like a shadow creature. Don't know if that's the type of thing you were referring to. Hard to explain. -mist
