Hi
What you’re describing is not laziness or lack of ambition, it’s a nervous system that has been overloaded for too long. Emotional numbness, brain fog, memory issues, and even dizziness can happen when your mind is constantly switching between overthinking and shutdown. Add a controlling environment with no personal space, and your system doesn’t get any recovery time, so it either stays anxious or goes into numb, disconnected mode. That’s why even achievements like job offers don’t feel satisfying, your mind is too exhausted to register reward or contentment.
Right now the focus is not to “fix everything” at once but to stabilize your system. You need small pockets of control in your day, even 20–30 minutes where you decide what you do, along with reducing mental load by not engaging with every thought. Your symptoms around focus, memory, and blankness are reversible once mental pressure reduces. Therapy can help you process the environment stress, rebuild clarity in decision-making, and teach you how to shift out of this numb-overthinking cycle step by step. Take therapy.
