I'm 17 and I've been dealing with dp since I was 6. Things just keep getting worse. I feel like I'm living in the past and the present all at the same time and I don't feel real. It started off one night at church with my grandmother and my sisters. I was left alone and started to have a panic attack. When I stood up to look for my grandmother it felt like nothing was real anymore. I described it to her later as feeling like I was dead yet still here somehow. It used to only happen to me occasionally but it got more and more frequent until it became an every day thing for me. It's something I can't get used to.
i feel you it makes you feel like your going crazzy somehow but i hurd the best thing to do is just to ignore the feeling and just keep yourself distracted yea is hard but you have to try :T Good luck dont let this get the best of you
Thanks for the advice. You're right, there really isn't anything else you can do. I was recently put on several anti-depressants and while they don't get rid of this feeling they make it tolerable and I am able to distract myself from it.
That feeling like your out of time framework is almost like mine. I'm not on antidepressants though. My mom says psychatrists and drugs are for worldly people. She gave me two weeks to pray and focus on the word of God and to tell her if nothing has changed. I am trying that now.I pray to Jesus constantly since he designed my brain. I'm scared of drugs since they worsened everything for me. I was a weak christian trippin on marijuana cause of my friends. I however have been derealized since I was young so I hope it works out
