Oof okay so. Listing it out again.

Swampy-feeling brain.
A layer of meaninglessness that mutes the worth of everything.
Emotional detachment.
Constant miasma thoughts.
Hard to process or even think on many things.
Relatedly, brain just gets tired out easily.

Possible causes: Gender dysphoria. Chemical depression. Life stagnation. Suppressed plurality. Severe sleeping issues. Emotional trauma.

What can I do about this? Who can I talk to who has had and overcome this agonizing state of being? Will any kind of therapist or psych help, or is the medical field typically useless?

@kitsch I'm reasonably sure I don't have 'suppressed plurality' & prly not emotional trauma (at least not recently?) but

in general what you're describing sounds like an excellent reason to find a psychologist. they can help you figure out where to go from there, & there *are* effective treatments for these things.

Depending on the nature of the sleep issues, seeing a sleep specialist could also be helpful

@Lioness Oof, okay. I haven't had much faith in, that area of stuff, psychologists and whatnot. You're saying they can help and there's treatments and I believe you, and that's encouraging.

I think sleep specialist is a thing you know a little about? I know there are sleep studies, but I don't know if that's the same thing.
