I’ve had a pretty mild anxiety my whole life, with a sinking feeling in my chest and some worried thoughts, but it never really really hindered me. I was a sharp thinker and could pretty quickly dismiss the thoughts...although I had anxiety in other ways. 
Anyways, after experiencing some trauma I have what, after the past two years, I can best attribute to maybe some form of DPDR. Basically, I can’t think clearly anymore. It went from being absent minded to having random ass thoughts, mostly worryful ones, and suddenly, I have very little control in them all. Even if it’s not something apparently stressful, like if I want to draw something, I gotta raincheck it bc I can’t get from point A to B.
The brain fog cleared up a bit in that at least I’m having some thoughts now...but existing sucks. Like I can’t recall or think of anything good or happy. Nor can I fully comprehend what upsets me...I feel soulless. This has taken a huge toll on my confidence and it’s got me questioning a lot of things and asking myself how I can be kinder to myself, bc while I can call myself “stupid,” that’s probably not helping the fact I’ve likely just been traumatized.
Anyway, all of these thoughts I’m having are so overwhelmingly negative, and some of them are valid in that I genuinely do worry about conversations and my ability to problem solve bc of the difficulty thinking...but I worry this is my brain unloading a shit ton of anxiety. And maybe, some of the brain fog is not just anxiety induced...but the fact I can’t control the thoughts I _do_ have is anxiety in itself. It’s hard to explain bc I haven’t experienced anything like this before...at least not that I’m aware of.
To top it all off, my family has a history of NPD so I’m pretty worried that the amount of insecurity, lack of empathy, lack of understanding, and lack of cognitive control is going to send me spiraling.
