“Ever since my mind went blank/silent I feel completely disconnected from everyone and everything, and I feel emotionless - no stimulation in my brain... no stimulation or emotions whatsoever. Just blank and void, and a constant feeling of timelessness.”
Cause
depersonalization (blank-mind DP); trigger/drug not named; OP said not on medication at posting
Duration
ongoing at Jan 2017 posts; knew others with blank-mind DP >2 years; own duration not quantified; no later OP follow-up in-thread
Recovery notes
Asking if anyone recovered. Commenter thegroisht said they eventually 'felt like myself again' after a long time (mindfulness/diet/meds tried; no clear both-pole self-description). Una+ claimed personal recovery in DID context without blank+numb detail. No confirmed igork recovery update.
