Brain fog

Does anyone else have constant brain fog that started suddenly and never fluctuates?

have persistent brain fog and I’m wondering if anyone has symptoms similar to mine.

This started very suddenly. One moment I was walking normally, and the next moment it felt like a switch turned off. The way I perceive the world changed instantly.

This symptom is present 24/7. It does not fluctuate at all. It never gets better or worse. It’s not a matter of severity — it’s more like all or nothing, and it has been “nothing” ever since it started. I have not felt normal even once since that moment.

It feels like the “energy” doesn’t go to my eyes anymore, so I’ve always thought it might be related to vision in some way. It’s not blurry, but my awareness feels disconnected from my eyes.

I don’t feel depressed at all. Emotionally I feel normal. But mentally, it feels like only part of my brain is alive — like I’m in a zombie mode, similar to a Walking Dead character. It feels as if my whole brain is not fully activated. Another way to describe it is that I feel like a paper doll — flat, hollow, and lacking depth.

The change in vision happened suddenly while I was walking, which is why I initially thought it was an eye-related issue.

I also have trouble breathing deeply. Breathing doesn’t feel automatic or natural anymore. When I force myself to exhale very deeply (to the point where I can hear my breath), the brain fog improves slightly. That’s why I feel my breathing issue is connected to the brain fog.

I don’t think this is depersonalization. I’ve experienced depersonalization before, so I know what that feels like, and this is different. This feels different from typical brain fog. It doesn’t come and go, and it never fluctuates.

I’ve been seeing psychiatrists for a long time, and I’ve also tried alternative treatments like energy healing, but nothing has helped.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Yes, I’ve had something somewhat similar, although not exactly 24/7 like you described. In my case, sleep deprivation made me feel foggy, lightheaded, disconnected from my surroundings, and even made breathing feel less natural at times. It also affected my work performance a lot. For me, improving sleep, cutting back on sugary foods, staying hydrated, and getting back to a regular routine helped somewhat—but your case sounds more sudden and constant than mine, so I really think it’s worth getting checked medically, especially since it started abruptly and involves changes in how you perceive vision and breathing. Persistent brain fog can happen with sleep problems, stress, medical issues, or neurological causes, and sudden symptoms should be taken seriously. ve been doing a “detox” now for my body to reset. As of know its working. well, sleep is my main problem. so i try to do this tings like sleeping on the right schedule, removing sugary foods, and stuff like that. Believe it or not, ive tried also pytotherapy for me up my health since eating greens and the use of natural is like the best gift for nature to give us. I’ve learned this on leaf to life. Try detoxing your body like give it a 1 - 2 weeks of focusing to detox
