ive been playing video games and handball for a very long time now and have been very good at them. I used to be semi pro at every FPS i played including halo,counterstrike,call of duty, unreal tournament, tribes 2, etc etc but suddenly i stopped playing as good as i used to and now i cant get any better. It seems that no matter how hard i try, i can’t get any better at anything i do, i play handball and im stuck at this one level, i make mistakes that i never used to make and my instinctual reaction time isn’t what it used to be. I used to know where to move and when to move for both video games and sports. This instinct guided me through social events as well but i don’t possess that instinct anymore, atleast i feel. This all happened when i stopped working out and once i lost a certain amount of muscle mass it seems like my body and mind changed. Now i don’t go to the bathroom as much, i can’t hold my piss in as long as i used to, my lungs can’t support as much smoke as they used to (for cigarettes and weed) and i just overall have less endurance. I tried going to neurologist but he said everything but my memory was fine, but i didnt feel that way. I believe this has somethign to do with my bowels. Now when i eat i shit out the same amount every time and i only shit once a day even if i eat more then i normally do. Its like my biological clock is off or im stuck in homeostasis. Thats another thing, i can go over 3 days without eating and not lose any weight , i ahve a fast metabolism and ive never been fat in my life but i used to beable to lose weight if istopped eating as much or stopped working out for a bit. So could a hypnotist help find what im missing, the gift i was given that helped me throughout my life, or is it gone for good. Am i going to be this way forever? It seems my mind is always in the same state of mind and like im at my maximum 24/7. I also used to be able to fall asleep during the day after school but now after i sleep for 10 hours i can’t fall back asleep until the time i fell asleep the other night. If i try to go to bed any earlier i just won’t fall asleep even if i did strainous activities. WHAT COULD I DO

As we age so do our bodies, things start working slower, hormones don’t produce like they used to, our reaction time slows, everything changes with every year we put on so I am not surprised you can’t do what you used to be able to do. You can do some mind exercises to improve the brain function like working puzzles, (crossword, find a word, variety, spot the differences, suduko, types like that) and if you get the brain working faster you may get back to playing your games faster but as long as you do nothing, everything will continue to decline. I don’t think it has anything to do with the bowels, the brain controls the whole body. If it gets mushy or slow so does everything else and weed does not help it at all. After a while it affects your reflexes and thinking so you might want to re-think smoking weed. I think you would just waste your money on a hypnotist.
