Compared with where I used to be before all this bipolar business started, I'm dumber than a stump. Short-term memory loss, difficulty with word-finding etc. I couldn't even learn my last job as a nursing-home inspector, and it got me fired. But I don't know if it's the meds or if it's brain damage just from being bipolar that does it...probably a combination of the two.
