I have severe dp. Also severe brain fog from time to time.
Like not all the time, I have good periods (few days) when I feel almost normal, beside my bad memory, but there are day when I wake up with brainfog and it's pretty bad.
I feel stupid, I feel like I have the worst cognitive impairment (Im 25). Everything takes me longer to do, even doing my job or just reading. My vision seems blurry, that tipical 'observing the world from behind a courtain' feeling. I sometimes repeat myself, I went to my grandparents on Sunday, told them something and when I met them on Wednesday I told them the same thing again. Then it popped in my haid like 'fck I told them this how can I not remember when they can remember clearly and they are 72 and 76'. And because of that I'm constantly worried if I have Alzheimers, which feeling doesn't help with my dpdr, just makes it worse.

Is it normal in dpdr that I have brain fog come and go, just like in a dementia patient?

Does anyone experience the same?

Yes, my brain fog is not constant in it's severity either. I tried pinpoint how it gets affected but it seems totally random. The sad part is when my brain fog is not that bad, I am such a smart guy. But most of the time the Brain fog is too intens it's really ruining my life. At this point it's very very severe, especially my memory.

i sometimes get floods of ideas and other times there is nothing going on in my head. i think average people also experience similar things.

Yes - all of what you described . We are so critical of our selves . Making everything we feel even harder .

A great friend of mine with DP/DR was going to college at the time of his initial dissociation. He went from a Grade A Student... to sitting down for a test of mathematics and not able to fill out a single answer in a 2 hour time. He was the last person to leave the room. And then dropped out of school.
