Q: Mind slows throughout day

Hey guys, I'm Jon and I'm 17 going on 18 shortly. My problem is that the state of mind I develop once awakened slowly dissapates throughout the day. Once I wake up, typically my mental state is phenomenal. My logic and memory are extremely crisp and my mind processes everything quickly and intelligently. It's almost as if every problem thrown at me is extremely simplistic and I can effortlessly solve them. Recently I had to drop out of school. Unfortunately, I made some unwise choices in middle school that inevitably lead to my withdraw from high school. One of my problems is that I've never really applied myself. I thought the lack of activity school gave me, though could have possibly allowed my mind to slow it's pace a bit. My sleeping schedule and diet are both poor and completely inconsistant as well. My mental capabilities are high, as I've always been infatuated with my mental potential since childhood. I've taken various IQ tests and they have all pronounced me as a "Genius" if not a few points below one. For example, I taught myself how to do Geometry (I haven't tried other mathematics), I developed a very plausible theory on how the O-zone layer is depleting and I've accurately developed percentages and statistics without putting a pen to paper(I don't want to mention everything just give an idea, I don't mean to brag, I'm really sorry if I came-off that way). After a couple hours in the morning, though my mind slowly become less and less able to process as it did the hour before. My mind becomes fogged and clouded and it becomes difficult to process thoughts to the extent I was able to before. It seems, though, I can wake my mind up by ingauging in an intellectual conversation, but not to the point where it functions as clearly as it did when I first awakened. My lack of exercise could also be a contributing factor. Please, someone help me. I want to be able to utilize my mind to it's fullest. I want to keep my mind fresh and at it's fullest potential the entire day and I've had a some days where that has been the case and they were phenomenal, so I know it's possible; it's just making these days to be consistant. I've made some mistakes in the past, but that's not going to stop me from getting a GED and pursuing further things. This is one proverbial hurdle I must jump, though if I ever expect to fully utilize my minds' capabilities. Please, someone help. It will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Take care!

PS: I'm really sorry if it seemed like I was bragging guys, I really didn't mean to come-off that way. I just wanted to give you guys an idea of my situation. Thank's again guys!!!

Have you thought about getting tested perhaps for a sugar processing disorder like hypoglycemia or diabetes? I suggest that you go to your family physician for an annual physical exam, blood and urine tests. And to check out your concerns. It's possible that they are physically based.

I potentially could be growing into a diabetic. My family has a history of diabetes and I actually didn't think that something to this extent could be the cause of my problem. Thank you, I'll be sure to have that tested as soon as possible. If anyone else has a different opinion please, feel free to inform me of it. Thank you.

Get your blood work done to check your hormones and testosterone levels. The best optimal levels for a man is 700 to 800 ( any age). if you are below that, then try using natural ways to boost it up. If those do not work, then you will have to try alternatives. Use google and type in Low Testosterone. You will be amazed how much it regulates the mental aspect of a man/human.

Good luck. And remember.. If you do not trust my words, then I am sure you will trust yourself once u see what information the internet has about low testosterone. Smile
