I have the same thing man. Your not, your fine haha.
Doubt
Trigger warning, I guess? Maybe? If you're feeling really unreal/anxious, don't read this, it may make you feel worse (probably).
Okay, now that I have given sufficient warning, I'd like to ask you guys about how you deal with doubt. I always say to myself when I'm feeling really panicky or dp'd that it's all fine, that it'll go away eventually, and that it's just because of my anxiety. But there's this little part of me that says, but what if it's not? What if I'm insane (For those of you that've seen Shutter Island, what if I'm like that?)? And I try so hard to not care, but I can never let go of the thoughts/fear.
I feel like I'm not safe anywhere, and I'm so paranoid that I've gone crazy. I feel like nothing's ever going to get better. I feel like shit all the time. I think I could fix myself if I didn't need to go to school or work, but if I don't go to school I'll get kicked out, and if I quit my job I won't have money for when I move out. I feel like I could do one, but not both. I don't know what to do.
That kinda went off topic, but I guess I need help with both problems.

You don't feel safe because you are holding your emotions in and u don't feel safe to be urself anywhere so u gotta learn to just be and express yourself no mater what then eventually u will feel safe in ur own skin

standard dp doubting ocd blablbablabla, just let be there, dont argue with it, if you catch yourself ruminating, divert your attn to something else or just stop yourself and let your thoughts play out in some other fashion
