Just a few days ago, I'm suddenly way worse at video games, not as good at climbing, and I'm really just doing everything worse. I have no idea why, though. I've gotten a little sick over the past few days, but I don't see how this would effect my reflexes or anything, and I've also taken on a little depression.

Getting sick sometimes throws you off of what you would normally do in a routine.

You'll snap right back in eventually

It's not about reflexes, it's about concentration. If you can't concentrate as well (whether due to sinuses, flu, whatever), everything will be harder to do. Don't fret it, relax and get better.

Plus, depression lowers confidence which lowers depression which lowers confidence....

Your mind is being distracted on something. Did you have anything that could result in stress?

relationship issues, grades, friend moving away, ect.?

I read "concentration" as "contraception" at least three times. D'oh.

Perhaps you should see a shrink? It might actually work for the better.

LOL I don't know how old you are; but assuming you are young (and you MUST be, as us old farts are used to having days like that...why do you think we're such bummers to be around?) just wait until you are on the job with people counting on you!

"Got to work late cause my alarm was busted
The boss chewed me out and everybody's disgusted
Just one of those days. Ever had oner of those days?

"I lost one of my socks in the dryer
I can't find my wallet and my hair is on fire
Just one of those days. It's gonna be one of those days

"The bank called me up to tell me I'm overdrawn
Some freaks are burning crosses out on my front lawn
And I can't believe that all the Cheetos are gone

Just one of those, one of those days!
Just one of those, one of those days!"

You need to grow up. You seriously think that which you "suck" at everything. That it should make you feel depressed? That doesn't make any sense, and everyone is good at something. You just think too much, and think about the positive side, which you should be going for.

I can hazard a (dubious) guess: bio-rhythms.

These things are just the scientific way of saying "off-days", but they do happen nonetheless. Long story short, sometimes you're just not working as quickly as you were a few days ago. There's no real explanation to it, nor is there a cure. Just rest and it'll probably go away on its own.

The fact that you actually think you "suck" at everything doesn't help. Don't dwell on it and carry on as normal. We all have shit days, though if you still feel the same in like a week see a doctor or something. You'll be told you're ill or suffering from depression/stress; you haven't just suddenly become worse at stuff for no reason...

You could be low on sleep. Maybe you need more sleep. It could be your brain can't function fast enough or something.
