“My brain is unable to think, I’m numb to my core ... my ability to think is diminished & I have a blank mind. ... I have no emotional reaction to anything - it’s like I’m dead.”
Cause
Chronic DPDR framed as nervous-system shutdown / playing dead (no anxiety left); no specific drug named as trigger in OP.
Duration
About 2 years at May 2024 post; getting worse.
Recovery notes
Ongoing worsening; asks if others have DPDR with no anxiety, just numbness. Not medical advice.
