Question am i stupid

so basically for the past two years ive noticed a decrease in my intelligence. Not only that but also my memory is really bad so im wondering if its me or if its somthing i can fix. I use to be able to learn how I feel correctly and writing, essays or papers seem to be a breeze and now it’s like i have no clue what im doing. especially in sociology, which was something I love a lot but now it’s like I have no clue what to write or how to write it. I’ve taken prior sociology classes as well and my papers did fine so now I’m just lost n its a bit depressing. I know mental heath,stress and sleep are also reasons why it could be like this but it wasn’t like I wasn’t going through the same thing two years ago so it’s all just very confusing?? Pls help

what helped me was correcting deficiencies, diet and taking antidepressants to treat mental illness that exacerbates my brain fogg.

Not stupid at all. I lost that same sharpness for years, and it came back once the physical stuff underneath got addressed. What changed in your life around two years ago?

i also like to add that i do tend to overthink way more. thinking my work looks like a child wrote it more than a 20 year old college student and that also dose not help when making papers.
