I think you need to stop putting enormous pressure on yourself to be absolutely perfect. That is part of your anxiety and depression right there.
You don't have to be SUPER intelligent to excel in life and at school of any level. You just have to try and do your best at something that interests you and you can earn a living at long-term.
I think what you are experiencing has everything to do with your medication levels being way, way off with your mental illness. Have them run your blood levels next time you see your doctor.
If the medication levels are off as I suspect (having experienced) than your thought process, recall and functioning all around will be sluggish or difficult. From my own experience in the past if your dosages are too high of an anti-depressant, anti-psychotic or psychiatric medication than normal thought process and recall definitely will be slow, you'll feel sluggish etc. I think it's as simple as telling your doctor something seems way off and have them check your levels and change it.
You are no more or less intelligent as you were before or after the illness came into your life. You can however, always learn new things, excel at them and become knowledgeable about them. All your talents, likes, dislikes and ability to think like you used to do are there. They don't go away and nor does personality. However, these drugs for a brief period may make it seem like that but it means that they are out of whack and are signs of that. ]
