The question is: Who are the imposters? -Frog

I meant to say Grian and Etho were, but it would be interesting if they were regular humans, and the impostors were just chillin.

I now know the name of what I have - Brain fog. It just doesn't go away. I've searched on internet about it but all I found was about getting a healthier lifestyle, what I think I'm not that bad on. Plus, what I saw was people saying it comes like for 20 minutes and go, while I feel like this 24/7 for almost a year already. It's a bit despairing. Any of you have experience with this to give me some tip? -frog

Hi love,

I’m not a professional so I can’t diagnose you, but it sounds like you might be experiencing some sort of dissociation. Dissociation can also be known as brain fog.

There are three different disorders that fall under the dissociation umbrella: dissociative amnesia, depersonalization disorder, and dissociative identity disorder. It sounds like you might be struggling with depersonalization / derealization. Depersonalization disorder is when a person has episodes where they feel detached from themselves or reality, like they may be watching a movie of themselves. They often feel like they’re not real, like you mentioned.

You can read more about the different dissociation disorders here (make sure to focus on depersonalization!) : https://www.nami.org/Learn-More/Mental-Health-Conditions/Dissociative-Disorders

Here’s a post I made on another blog I used to be a part of that talks about depersonalization disorder, if you’d like to check it out: http://chooserecovery.tumblr.com/post/80732081794/answer-to-a-submission-about-depersonalization-and

It might also help if you try some grounding techniques. These techniques can help you focus on what’s real and help keep you connected to reality. Here’s what I want you to try. Get something that is comforting to you, like a soft stuffed animal, a necklace, a favorite book, etc. Focus on the way it feels in your hands. Describe what it looks like in your head, or even out loud. Then say, either in your head or out loud, “This (insert item here) is real. I am real.” Repeat this over and over again in your head. It sounds silly, but this can really help!

If you can, do something that requires you to really think about it. For example, you can try counting down from 100 by 3s or 7s, or saying the alphabet backwards.

Take deep breaths and focus on them. Count from 1 to 7 as you breath in, again as you hold your breath, as you breathe out and then again as you hold it. Do that for as many rounds as you feel you need. Be patient with yourself, you are doing the best you can, and that is perfectly okay.

Have you seen a professional for the dissociation? You don’t have to live this way, love. The things you are struggling with can be successfully treated with medication and therapy. You don’t have to fight this battle on your own. Please reach out for the help you need and deserve!
