I think this is a symptom of ptsd/c-ptsd. I have the same experience, living life through escapism and the clouded fogginess my mind has become. it's hell. there are ways to help it but idk of any that have helped me

What things can help?

high intensity exercise, mindfulness/meditation, vagus nerve massages/exercises (lots of videos online), emdr therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (this needs a good therapist but can probs find resources online). c-ptsd is still relatively new in the dsm-5 so it's still being studied but scientists are currently studying psilocybin (shrooms) and MDMA alternatives to treating it as well. antidepressants aren't really effective, a lot of the trauma is stored somatically so it needs to be released that way. It's not easy by any means and it definitely takes determination/grit to stick by healing. hope you can use this info somehow
