Narcissistic abuse is a type of emotional abuse that can make you feel drained, tired, and confused. It can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or even C-PTSD. In addition to these emotional responses & side effects, some people who have experienced narcissistic abuse describe feeling like their brain is in a fog. This is commonly known as brain fog, and it can impact every aspect of your life. In this blog post, we’ll look more closely at what brain fog is and what happens after enduring emotional abuse.

What is brain fog?

Brain fog refers to how difficult it is to think, focus, and remember. It is often described as feeling in your brain as unclear, foggy, or fuzzy. People experiencing brain fog may find it challenging to concentrate, make decisions, or articulate their thoughts. It can be associated with various factors, including stress, lack of sleep, or hormonal changes. While brain fog is a common and often temporary experience, if you are concerned about it check with your Dr.

What is the main cause of brain fog?

One of the main causes of brain fog is stress, especially for women who have experienced long-term chronic stress due to emotional abuse. Emotional abuse is the hardest type of abuse to detect. It is very gradual, subtle and very stressful over a long period of time. This is when one dominant person manipulates and controls another person until they eventually doubt their own reality. This type of emotional abuse can cause chronic stress that leads to feelings of exhaustion and brain fog.

Professional Support

If you’ve experienced emotional abuse, it’s crucial to seek professional support to help you heal and recover. A therapist can help you work through the emotional trauma of the abuse and develop coping strategies for managing your symptoms.

My Experience with Brain Fog Right Now

As someone who has endured emotional abuse, I still have moments of time when I experience brain fog. One example is as I am building a business that helps women recover from emotional abuse, I am experiencing periods of brain fog. It’s almost like a flashback of how I used to feel when I was going through it. I feel very tired and it’s hard to concentrate and focus. I am limited in what I can do at the present time. I am writing this post, but I will need to go rest and do some self-healing. The self-healing program is so exciting & I will soon be teaching you how to do. My final stage of healing is to help other women recover from emotional abuse and illuminate their healing journey.

What helps?

I have found eating a balanced diet like I learned in the 11 Day Jumpstart, drinking ½ my body weight in water and exercising daily helps keep my brain fog at bay. Finally, I have found taking breaks throughout the day and getting enough sleep helps tremendously.

One Last Thing…

Brain fog after emotional abuse is a common experience but there are ways to manage it. Seeking professional support and developing a self-care routine that includes mindfulness, exercise, healthy eating, and hydration can help you manage your symptoms and improve your cognitive function.
