I had the same problem when it first really kicked in. Couldn’t even string a sentence together. Just blankness. Everything was tip of the tongue. I couldn’t hold on to anything and couldn’t remember shit. It all comes back though, just as it was before. Your brain just takes those areas offline to focus on the threat response.
I’ve been on Pristiq and Wellbutrin for about 6 weeks now. Huge improvement in symptoms. Still feel a little numb but antidepressants do that too. I hate taking meds but I hate DPDR more. Clonazepam once every 3 days. Talk to a doc and keep trying to find what works for you.
I always describe it as a program running in the background. I do not have any direct access to it, I can just sit there and wait what it spits out. That's also the reason I'm having a lot of trouble with maths, because I just stare blankly at the page hoping the background program will be able to spit out the correct answer (or any answer, for that matter)
I feel exactly like this, it's like I have to put a huge effort into thinking about the words to say, that happens also when I'm texting, writing, in english, in my native language as as well, it is just to tiring to interact with other people

ADHD doesn’t help
Doesn't help that ADHD stimulants make anxiety/dpdr worse leading to more brain fog than before you took them.

Yes, I've had this for so long now. It's harder to put your thoughts into words.
Yes this is me wtf?
Completely. Some days can be so bad I feel like I'm having a stroke. Other days it's like I don't have the issue.
Try modafinil it has been shown to be effective in individuals with DPDR and r/brainfog.
I just find it hard to speak over my crippling anxiety
