what to do if you lack critical thinking skills but are also self aware of it

hello everyone! i am a 27F and in the last few years i have realized i am kind of an idiot, lol. i value intelligence, but as i’ve gotten older i realize that i am kind of dumb— it’s like im air headed and lack critical thinking skills compared to everybody else i interact with. the issue is, im horrifically self aware about this and as much as i have tried to change and improve it’s gone nowhere. ive been dealing with this for years, but my self esteem since i’ve gotten a new job in the last six months has absolutely tanked because it’s even more obvious in the field that i am in. i have tried everything, being more “invisible,” educating myself more, just trying to laugh off whatever embarrassing thing i did in front of my coworkers, etc.
i guess it’s just an extremely hard pill to swallow, and i have got to figure out how to not feel any lower than i currently do because i am at rock bottom, lol.
thank you in advance!
edit: edit to add that i don’t feel like i don’t have value or bring anything to the table, but this one aspect of myself is dominating all of the other qualities about myself that i view as “good” because this constantly impacts everything around me

what actually helps depression?

im sixteen and ive honestly tried everything and nothing seems to do anything to help it, the whole of last year i was severely depressed and i begged and begged for professional help but i cant afford it and doctors tell me im not sick enough yet.
i just want it to be out of my system now, its been almost seven years. im so beyond tired of it. i just want a week where its not there and i can breathe. i think i have a decent life besides being poor and in a fucked up house hold. im confident and i have a friend, one friend. i cant seem to find any other friends yet but collage is soon so thats helpful.
it just never seems to leave, i cant have a week where it isnt there. anytime i feel good and am happy something happens to ruin it. i was having the absolute best month of my life. i was so unbelievably happy constantly. i was so excited to be awake and then i get hit with my mother being a drug addict and hiding it from me for the last five years.
