I am a grad student in the humanities. I don't know what exactly triggered my depression, but I'm experiencing a lot of cognitive problems like memory issues, lack of concentration, inability to be intellectually engaged, etc. I just feel like a totally different person, and I just can't tackle academic tasks like I used to. It's like my brain has stopped working somehow, and everything i write is not up to par. It's really interfering with my academic life at this point and none of my professors know about it. I'm really scared that I'll end up failing classes.
Does anyone else have similar experiences?
