“Hello, I'm 20m and I have/had brainfog and/ or dpdr(dissociation) for around 7 years now. Symptoms include: 1.Don't feel like myself, don't know how I feel like anymore. 2.Always empty head, feels like closing my eyes, then opening them and 6 years have passed. 3. No real emotions(mainly numb) or excessive sadness… 4.No social skills, due to lack of emotions and empty mind”
Cause
r/BrainFog first-person OP u/Turbulent_Address889 (post 1q6mrp8): brainfog and/or DPDR ~7y from age ~13 (20m at post); possible anxiety/overwhelm onset (skipped school). Clear BOTH: always empty head + no real emotions (mainly numb). Unused BrainFog DPDR BOTH (≠ decade Lumpy 307; ≠ lifelong dpdr 311/312; ≠ gradual Desmond 317). Non-drug-primary; non-Invega.
Duration

Recovery notes
Many short-lived attempts; some emotion work helped perspective but core empty-head + numb unchanged. Planning ortho/derm/blood work. No recovery claimed.
