Then again, if all that happened to me I'd be four times as weird as his writing. At least.

  I appreciate this empathetic response. If you've never encountered a "brain won't go" moment in your life, it's nearly impossible to understand how a bright person can quickly go from presenting as such, to presenting as as a train wreck. In the past several years, I encountered a mild form of "holy shit, a lot of stuff that was intuitive and natural just got hard for me because stress and other factors." Circumstances changed, and I pulled out of it, but I could have just as easily augered in. It's probably going too far to wish that everyone here can experience a short-lived, non-catastrophic, empathy inducing mental health scare.
