So I guess this is my introduction of sorts, haha. Hi I'm Larina and I just turned 15 yesterday and I came across this site while looking for a way to stop the disorder.
For me it started subtly when I was 12-13, I questioned everything I saw and wrote down all my thoughts in a journal. I thought everyone did that, but as I grew a bit things got scarier. The whole actual DP/DR started a few months back when I started becoming a bit too immersed in philosophical questions that came out of no where. These caused frequent panic attacks and a sense of numbness and fear. It wasn't until last month when I told my dad, who took me to a psychiatrist that determined it was DP/DR. The whole "disconnected from reality and myself" has only been getting worse, and it won't stop.
That's why when I found this I became really happy, I'm honestly so glad I can see other people going through the same issues I'm having and I hope we all get through it together.
