[Shadow Cat]

I told my parents, but they didn't really understand. I never told anyone else. No one else would be able to understand, I don't act differently, and I don't know how they would react. I'm going to a psychologist. I'm not taking any medications. My DR seems to be caused by stress. The stress comes from having trouble at school because I have social anxiety to a certain degree. My psychologist is helping me with all of that.

I told my mom, finally, about my dp/dr and although I know she doesn't understand completely, I know she is trying, and it's nice to know that I can at least say "hey, i'm feeling really out of it, dp/dr wise." Even if she doesn't understand completely, it's nice to have people who will just hang out and talk to you because they know you need it. I've also told several of my friends, beacuse i"m big on talking about mental disorders because that is the only way we can help reduce the stigma attached to them.
