Open original source ↗“I genuinely feel like I've had some kind of frontal lobe chemical lobotomy and that my mind is in a constant state of 'blankness', devoid of any emotional feeling. I feel very flat most of the time and don't seem to react or feel anything towards any situation etc. It's like the emotional dampening of the drugs have damaged my brain in such a way that I am left 'empty' and unable to feel anything at all.”
- Cause
- HealthUnlocked Headway first-person OP NooNooHead1981 (post 134264718; ~10y before Sep 2026 read): head injury / post-concussion then neuroleptic → tardive dyskinesia + blank mind/fewer thoughts/aphantasia + emotional dampening (constant blankness, devoid of emotional feeling, flat, unable to feel anything). Attributes cascade to TBI then exacerbated by neuroleptic ('frontal lobe chemical lobotomy'). Unused Headway TBI+neuroleptic BOTH (≠ MarcoAurelio OCD HU 61). Non-Invega-named.
- Duration
- since head injury 'last year' relative to ~2016 post (~1+ year cognitive/emotional blank+flat at posting)
- Recovery notes
- Asking if brain can recover; later reply notes hope via neuroplasticity, social engagement, CBT/therapy, possible neuropsych eval — no full recovery of blank+flat claimed in thread.
