also, i know personally my IQ is 120. which is quite good. i have been told and am not aware of how much truth is in this, that george bush's IQ is in the range of about 86. (worrying much.) i think that your IQ is not something you should worry too greatly about.
i think you write incredibly fluently and adeptly, so there is no need to put yourself down on the subject. i believe instead you should allow yourself to believe something is good enough. my mom always has to get the best, and my dad can deal with things that are good enough. i believe on the whole, my dad is less stressed by what he does and his achievements. and stress is never good for psychotic illnesses.
maybe you should loosen up on yourself? you sound incredibly intelligent.

Much obliged selfy. I honestly have learned that perhaps it is, under my particular structure in terms of what I can really allow myself to intellectually savor and respond to, not in my best interest to major in mathematics. It seems oh so confining and rather mundane. The numbers themselves have no pulse, it is the individual that creates the heartbeat, at which point it is customary to become engulfed in theories, queries, hypotheses, investigations into this overtly regulated realm of numerology and supposed rationality. I'd rather stick with perhaps, writing or drama. In fact, earlier yesterday I was skimming Artaud's Theatre of Cruelty section in his manifesto, and was fascinating, truly something that I could savor.
As far as George W. Bush's IQ, I would imagine that considering he is above most of the citizens in this country, (I base this off of extensive research. You need only look so far.) that him or any politician has an IQ from 80 - 105, 80 of course, being the very bottom of the average spectrum. With the proper knowledge, anyone can outsmart a politician. A philosopher is somewhat more complicated however...
At any rate, thank you all for the moral and intellectual support that you have all lent to me in one of my darkest hours. I wish you all success in your respective environments.
