“when I think what personally happened was a partially anoxic event and thus has lead to the issues I find myself dealing with now. These include … Persistent headaches … intense brain fog associated with this, which has resulted in the lack of an inner monologue for me. … Difficulty with emoting and feeling emotions in general. … Social isolation due to finding the whole aspect of processing emotions and dealing with others”
Cause
r/BrainFog first-person OP u/_Lucky_dice_ (post 1txxrfu): attributes onset to partially anoxic event ~3y prior → lack of inner monologue / impaired processing + difficulty emoting and feeling emotions in general (+ visualization loss, headaches, breathing on manual). Unused anoxic/physical BOTH (≠ TBI+neuroleptic Headway 316; ≠ concussion qqt441 unlogged). Non-Invega; non-SSRI-primary.

Recovery notes
MRI no structural damage. Tried bioregulators, Cerebrolysin, mushrooms (risky), then NAC/black seed oil/nattokinase/bromelain/turmeric stack with herx-like reaction. Maintaining job barely; no recovery of monologue/emotion claimed.
