Question

What is the difference between brain fog and dissociation? Or are they the same feeling?

January 2025 I was overdosed on steroids by a hospital and went through steroid induced psychosis. No doctors knew how to treat it. They actually wanted me to go back on steroids and taper off. I declined.

It was like living but not in my body. I was totally out of it for a few months. Couldn't take care of myself or my children. Seeing things. Anxiety attacks everytime my eyes would open. Weak. Just plain out of it.

Eventually It got better. But I am still suffering this fog. This dissociation. Its not all the time. But alot of the time when I wake up. I drive my kids to school and its like I know im driving but it feels like im not totally.. aware.. or idk how to explain it. Sometimes at home im out of it, I can't think straight or I almost feel like im high without doing anything to be high.. if this even makes any sense!

Ive seen many doctors and they all say change your diet, hydrate, get active. Nothing helps. Im tired of walking around zombiefied so to speak.

So is it brain fog? Dissociation? What's the difference?
