Stupidity
'lo all.
Well, what I'm feeling at the moment is stupid. I feel intensely mentally inept. I don't know when these feelings began but they've started to become part and parcel of my daily life. I am insular to a fault. My thoughts run through familiar well travelled patterns of inadequacy daily and as a result I often turn down social invitations because I simply can't handle the effort it would take to truly participate. It's getting to be a real pain. Basically anytime I feel I should've got or 'understood' something, evening a difficult concept or something commonly overlooked I berate myself. I think I'm probably expecting too much of myself, but I don't know how to relax anymore.
I feel slow witted, and devoid of any common sense. I know I probably shouldn't feel this way, I'm academically sucessful, hardly upper tier, but from the amount of effort I put into revision I could hardly hope for better results, and they're great. Despite this, I dunno, academic sucess isn't a measure of intelligence I know, but I'm no hard worker and I still manage to be sucessful, that's something right? Worse, I've now picked up a major obsession with worthless IQ tests. I usually score quite high, over 130, but I know as well as anyone that they're *******s. Mainly they just provide some minor relief from the mental headache I'm wrapped up in.
I want to get back to my life, but these thoughts just halt me completely. I can't enjoy anything anymore, don't appreciate anything deeply and I sometimes wonder if I even feel emotion like a normal human being. Basically they've made me majorly apathetic and I'll wile away hours on pointless pursuits and not think twice about it. Computer being one of them.

I recognise those symptoms to a tea (tee?) mate, that's depression in my opinion. I've had all the "I'm stupid really" bits, felt slow witted and actually did find it more difficult to do some things. Depression can actually upset your concentration quite a bit as you're spending too much CPU time (as it were) on pondering why you suck so much 
Get yourself down the doctors! Yes, I know it's not the most pleasing conversation you'll ever have but they are generally sympathetic.
I've started college after my bout with it btw, and it turns out I'm actually not stupid at all. Concentration has returned, and I find it pretty easy usually! So it really was all in my head after all.

I'd hardly call that stupidity; I know what you mean, well, parts of what you said. I no longer feel any real emotion anymore since I'm pretty much a compulsive liar and have now well and truly lost the ability to know what I honestly think about something. I have no real opinions or emotions; the only emotion I ever really feel is rage, but that's because I have anger problems and have done for a few years, etc. etc. I haven't really got any advice for you because I didn't really need any for myself. I just think about how meaningless emotions are, anyway. So what if I may be the equivalent of an android; who cares, really? Besides, if animé has taught us anything, androids are awesome. ;P

to a T/tee informal exactly; to perfection : I baked it to a T, and of course it was delicious.
Same here, definitely recognise this. Agree with the above, get to a doctor. If you're registered with a surgery rather than a specific doctor, it might be worth checking out their website to see if any of the doctors there have a particular interest in depression/mental health, and asking for them in particular when making an appointment.
Sounds like you get the same thing I do; times where you end up in a downward spiral- depressive thoughts that get you down even more and lead to more depressive thoughts, so it might be worth explaining this to a friend or family member you trust, so they can help get you out of them. Last time all it took for me was my friend phoning me when she realised I was feeling down.
And don't be afraid if you're offered counselling or antidepressants, they do actually work.
