Mentally stuck on stupid is a general way to say someone is full of self-doubt, depressed and lack motivation. Life is not as rich as it once was and dreams, desires and goals seem unobtainable. For this person, who moves around with a gray cloud overhead, the easiest tasks are hard to complete. Though he or she does not have any physical problems, they just can’t seem to find the drive to progress in life. A person, who was once full of life and thriving, just gives up and wastes away.
