I’ve been noticing since I woke up today that I can’t quite understand what I’m reading, can’t even think very clearly. When I sat down to do my daily studies a couple hours ago, I couldn’t retain any information. I was reading on colar-bone anatomy, which should be pretty easy and straightforward, but wasn’t able to understand a thing, to the point where I gave up after only 20 minutes of staring at the same pictures.


I’ve also been waking up several times at night, about 4-6, for a few days now. Every time I’m slightly afraid to go back to sleep, and sometimes even have to take a look around the house to calm down before I’m able to. I take this (and a few other things) as evidence I’d be having an episode if I wasn’t on medication.


I wasn’t too worried about that, since it was not affecting my daily life (other than sleeping too much), but being suddenly dumb again sucks. Feels like I get knocked right back down every time I think I’m getting up, if that makes sense. I thought this wasn’t going to happen anymore, and honestly it makes me concerned about my future. How am I going to be student if I happen to start getting days like these again? What if those days become the norm how they used to be? I can’t fail again, getting too old for second chances.


Is this something that happens to anybody else? Is there anything that can be done about this? Thanks.
