Lossis

Lossis refers to a phenomenon experienced by some individuals where they perceive a significant and often distressing absence or reduction in certain abilities or qualities that were previously present. This can manifest in various domains of life, including emotional capacity, cognitive function, social connection, or even a sense of self. The feeling of lossis is typically subjective and deeply personal, often accompanied by feelings of sadness, confusion, or emptiness.

The causes of lossis are varied and can range from external life events to internal changes. Traumatic experiences, prolonged stress, significant life transitions such as bereavement or job loss, or even certain medical conditions can contribute to this sense of diminished capacity. In some cases, lossis may be related to psychological or neurological factors, where changes in brain chemistry or structure can affect an individual's subjective experience of their own abilities.

There is no single diagnostic criterion for lossis, as it is not a formal medical term but rather a descriptive concept for a complex experience. Individuals experiencing lossis may seek support through therapy, counseling, or by engaging in activities that help them reconnect with lost parts of themselves or adapt to their current state. Understanding and acknowledging the subjective reality of lossis is crucial for providing appropriate support and fostering a sense of well-being.
