I just feel like I'm getting more stupid and I get the feeling that doctors are laughing at me because they think I'm stupid. Or they're playing along with me because they don't want me to know I have brain damage. It's like I can look back on specific points in my life where I got hit in the head or did something stupid and I can't help but think my brain is damaged. And then I feel like if my brain weren't damaged I would've been able to deal with stress and hallucinations better instead of going crazy like I did...
You might actually be getting less smart either due to the illness or the meds...for me the meds were suppressing about 15 IQ points active psychosis was worse though more like 40 points...it's in no way permanent once you are stable you will get it back...it's not really damage though just some sort of suppression...are you doing anything to counteract it like brain games or anything...that's supposed to help...
