I forget the exact term that my shrink used... but it was something like depression induced retardation.

sorry for being so politically incorrect but I literally laughed out loud when she basically called me retarded. (which is pretty much how I feel).

My mind is CRAP. Personally I believe that my suicide attempts have permanently damaged my brain.... my neuropsych testing said no. I do not believe it. I know that my brain was really good before (not elitist... but good enough to get a 4.0 in college). Now I have gotten "lost" literally driving home (the place where your brain should most easily remember when you are driving).

Sorry you are in this place too.

best wishes to you. (and I hope my retardation comments did not offend anyone).
