Any one else feel they simply cannot tune into their minds like I can't think properly or connect to myself. I feel I have no memories.
Scary shit this is. I just want to be me again.

You’ve just explained my symptoms perfectly. Almost like I have either no brain or an extremely fatigued one. Can’t remember much of the past,song lyrics, movie plots, things I’ve learned in school, etc. like my memory was wiped except for the basic info.

Like mental blindness? My mind feels so blank.....its so strange. It feels impossible to think. X

Dp IS and can be a result of an over-taxed brain. But I suspect that the HPA-axis has a lot do with it as well since this axis regulates all hormones and can affect the brain considerably.

You are referring to blank mind DP which alot of people on here talk about...So your definitely not the only one....

Ive seen many people come back and recover fully from it too...

There seems to be 2 extremes of DP...The racing mind which is in thinking overdrive constantly or the blank mind which seems to be void of any thought...Its still DP at source whichever version you are experiencing...Both are equally as nasty as each other...

I know some may beg to differ but I would rather have an overactive mind blazing with thoughts than this blank mind which is like a teenage-onset dementia. At least with an overactive mind you are still "there" and meds can help ease the overactivity. With the blank mind, it's difficult to treat because the psychiatric meds sooth or take away activity rather than add emotion or behavior.

Thanks. Gives me hope. Im new to dp and this os horrid xx

Yeah, I'm definitely suffering some memory... malfunction? I can't even remember things immediately after people tell me said things. Is anyone on this thread experiencing "drunk" vision as well? Ugh, the lack of cognitive function ad vision impairment... super sucks. Driving me up the wall.

I have this too,awful. I feel like brain dead.
do you have racing thoughts at the same time as mind feels blank? like it's impossible to "catch" a thought?

 

[anitas]

Feel exactly the same as op ????

Anyone find anything that has helped them regarding this blank state?

MusicaElectronica, your post hit home. I originally thought there was nothing going on in my head, but theres stuff moving in and out so fast and I can't catch it to focus on it.

Have you found anything that helps?
