A burnt cable smells nasty and a strong whiff of it can be overwhelming, sure. There's not much I can do for you without physical access to the cord, unfortunately. And even then there's not much I could do, without you getting a physical check-up with blood work.

My advice is to as soon as possible make an appointment with your doctor and explain your symptoms and time-frame, bring the cord along and ask for advice. The doctor will probably want to do blood work first of all and maybe brain scans etc to rule out medical issues.

I saw you're quite young and I know going to a doctor can be both scary and expensive, but from the symptoms you have described I urge you to get professional advice and help.

Good luck friend, I hope you feel better soon!

the part about electronic odors on this page explains my situation well i think but it was over the course of years.

i dont think any neuroscientist could help me because my case is one of a kind - i definitely have had a decline in so many mental areas though
