Actually I never had particularly good grades in school. I was given an extensive IQ test by a psychologist and I scored high. I felt sharper then, even though I was still depressed. The psychologist told me that I could score higher if I wasn't depressed and she pointed out that the only portion of the test that didn't do well in was the one having to do with speed. It was a long time ago so I don't remember the details. I just find it more difficult to comprehend complex systems and theories than it used to be. it's even harder to construct sentences. This may be due to having been floxed earlier this year. Or maybe I'm just a lot less intelligent than I thought I could be.It's possible that you feel less intelligent because over time you have been exposed to far more domains of knowledge and have gazed at the depth and complexity of domains of knowledge you were already acquainted. The material one encounters in high school is quite narrow compared to what one is capable of encountering "in the wild". Even subjects that have a lot of currency in everyday life like economics and psychology are usually not broached in any significant manner in high school.
