Brain Fog from Toxic Relationships: The Science and Ways You Can Help Yourself How can your brain feel so foggy after a relationship with a toxic person? Brain fog is a difficult and confusing experience to live through, and it is one that is poorly understood by most people.

It's a common problem for survivors of narcissists in toxic relationships, yet one that many don't talk about...much less understand. Brain fog presents itself in different ways for different people. Some feel just stuck and unable to function. Others feel like they're watching their lives through a movie screen or like they're in some kind of bubble that makes them feel like they're not really here, or like they're separated from everyone else, Angie Atkinson explains.

When you realize that you have been gaslighted by a narcissist for many years and wonder why your health problems are getting worse, or why you are experiencing brain fog, that is because of the trauma from the abuse. Brain fog, depression, and anxiety are just a few of the mental health issues associated with C-PTSD (. These symptoms are caused by childhood trauma, abuse, and neglect. There is hope… even if you have severe brain fog and other illnesses related to the disorder.

The brain fog that many of us experience after a narcissistic relationship is one of the many symptoms of CPTSD. Brain fog is an impairment in a person’s ability to process information, think clearly, and make good decisions. You may feel like you’re in a mental fog or daze most days or have difficulty remembering what you were just thinking about. This can go hand-in-hand with the memory problems experienced with PTSD, especially if the abuse you experienced was not physical but psychological.
