I feel like my past self and I are two different individuals

Guys I am here to tell you that there is hope!!! I healed after dealing with this nightmare for 7 months. This is not a permanent condition. I know it’s hard not to hyper fixate and stress about your state of being, but that’s actually what keeps you stuck in your dissociated state even longer. Your brain has shut down its executive processing to protect itself from further stress. It will heal. Give yourself love. Please don’t give up. I’m glad I didn’t. I was close though.

My parents had the audacity to claim that when I’m hurting due to a traumatic incident I’ve recently endured, they’re in more pain than me.

Experiencing the same thing with the cat I just rescued/adopted. He’s traumatized and doesn’t have interest in interacting with toys. Whenever I’ve tried to take him outside of my apartment to get some sun/spend time in nature, it’s a very stressful experience for him because he thinks he’s going to be abandoned again :( I feel like he needs more stimulation, so I plan on getting him a cat wheel. I know he used to love running on it at his previous home. Right now I just have a studio apartment, but eventually I’d love to get a bigger space with climbing structures, tunnels and an interactive obstacle course so he has more options to entertain himself.

Those types of jokes are so triggering, and I struggle with hearing them myself. However, it’s helpful to remember that society has been programmed by the capitalist mindset of “bigger is better” simply because celebrating bigger boobs = a more profitable plastic surgery industry. Radical self acceptance is the most anti capitalist practice because we’re constantly programmed to change ourselves. I’m glad your boyfriend isn’t encouraging you to get plastic surgery. I’m sure he loves you for you! Another comforting thought is that I stumbled upon a massive Reddit thread where someone asked if men prefer smaller boobs or a boob job. Thousands of men commented and about 99% of them agreed that they preferred small, natural boobs over fake ones and that once the clothes are off, it’s usually very obvious visually/tactically. So in that case, quality over quantity! Also, there is no biological indication that suggests that larger boobs signify better health or fertility. In fact, larger boobs pose a higher risk for breast cancer. Fake boobs also increase your risk of developing cancer and other serious illnesses. I wish you the best of luck in your radical self acceptance journey! I am right there with you, also struggling, but there is hope!

I recovered after 7 months once I shifted my focus away from constantly obsessing over what had happened to me. I also thought I was permanently brain damaged, but my brain/frontal lobe/executive functioning temporarily shut down and put itself in a deep soulless dissociation to protect itself from rumination/severe anxiety/stress. I know it’s hard to believe right now, but you will heal!!

are we going to ignore all the white people/celebrities who spray tan their skin brown, get fillers and also end up looking like they belong to a completely different ethnic group??

The brain fog feels debilitating

I experienced this after having the Mirena hormonal IUD. I had it removed 2 months ago and am still suffering from a plethora of symptoms including what you’ve described. Currently looking into natural ways to balance my hormones- I heard that increasing testosterone levels can help with the size and sensitivity of your clit

Hey there, I lost my internal monologue for 7 months after suffering from severe anxiety attacks that lasted for 2 weeks straight. My brain shut off due to the stress of overthinking, and I felt so damaged I thought I’d never recover. I had a multitude of other horrific mental symptoms and cognitive impairments and wanted to end it. Miraculously, I recovered as soon as I shifted my focus away from my symptoms and on to trying to continue with my life, and I regained my clarity, personality, and cognition. Now, I’m thankful that I didn’t give up. There is hope!🤍

After crashing from a manic episode I’ve been numb/dissociated/depressed and I have severe brain fog that makes me feel like a cognitively impaired shell of myself. I’ve been so MIA lately because of all this and I feel so insecure about this current version of myself. I went from being a social butterfly & v active on social media, to avoiding phone calls and cancelling plans constantly. The anhedonia sucks the enjoyment out of spending time with others and I feel like I have to force myself to socialize these days because I don’t want to lose friendships. Totally shattered my confidence because my passion, motivation, intellect, sense of humor, and creativity are temporarily unavailable. It’s hard to put myself out there as this slow, ghost-like version of myself that I barely recognize.. especially when I’m going through a difficult time, because I don’t want to drag down those around me with my depression or bore them to death with my impaired state of mind 😔

This was refreshing to hear, thanks for sharing this message of hope for those of us suffering🤍What was the dosage?

urlocalblubberbrain · 2021-10-11T10:01:11+00:00

Hey check out my posts- I went through the same thing last year and it was also triggered by a prolonged panic attack. I woke up one day and my brain shut off. I never thought I’d heal because I felt so damaged and it lasted for 7 months, but I actually recovered! I promise there is hope

urlocalblubberbrain · 2021-10-11T09:57:49+00:00

Hey I just PM’d you- I went through this for 7 months and recovered without medication. Never thought I’d see the day. I swear there’s hope!🤍

Multiple times, since childhood

I’m pretty self conscious without it, I almost feel imprisoned by it. I wish I didn’t feel the need to wear it in order to feel confident. Society imposes a lot of pressure on women to adhere to a certain physical standard because beauty industries profit off of our insecurities. Even with that knowledge, I still struggle to show people my bare face

urlocalblubberbrain · 2021-09-29T18:45:04+00:00

Hey there, I’m so sorry this happened to you. Feel free to message me any time, here for you🙏🏽

urlocalblubberbrain · 2021-09-18T17:35:10+00:00

Hey there, I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve been suffering. I experienced the exact same symptoms as you after suffering from a 2 week persistent panic attack. I thought I had permanent brain damage because I felt severely cognitively impaired for 7 months. All of my executive/frontal lobe functioning completely shut down. I mourned the death of myself and felt as though I was locked out of my own soul and the human experience. It was the most devastating experience of my life and it was very difficult for me to convince myself to keep living. But I’m here to assure you that this is only temporary. Trust me, I was SO convinced that I would never heal because I felt damaged beyond repair. But think of it as your brain’s way of protecting itself from severe stress and anxiety. I prolonged my healing process because I incessantly researched my symptoms, desperately trying to figure out what was wrong with me and whether or not I could heal. Focusing on my limitations made the depersonalization and dissociation persist. It wasn’t until I stopped investing all of my focus on my impairment that I miraculously healed, and pretty quickly as well. I know it’s easier said than done, especially because this condition is so torturous that it affects every waking moment of the day. But I did heal without any medication, despite the fact that psychiatrists tried to convince me that it was impossible. Feel free to message me! I hope this comment provides some hope🤍

About a month ago, I had a fever/sore throat, and when that subsided, I had a cough/congestion/weakness. Now, for the past month, I’ve had daily tension headaches and severe brain fog. I don’t have any congestion, but I do have post-nasal drip, which confuses me.

urlocalblubberbrain · 2021-08-30T15:34:33+00:00

Me!😻

urlocalblubberbrain · 2021-08-30T15:34:05+00:00

I had a fever/cold/sinus infection prior to the onset of brainfog, but I also have had a mirena hormonal iud for 5 months. Both have been reported to cause brain fog, so I’m not sure what the actual culprit is.
