Please! Help me! I'm in hell. Dp/dr??

Posted , 8 users are following.

Sorry for my English. I am a 17 y/o student.

Everyhing started in March. I started to have panic attacks, but they didn't bothered me. Later they were more frequent and frequent. I had massive mood swings and was easily irritated. In April I was on a trip and there I had my first "dp/dr?" experience. I felt dizzy, like I am attached from everything, but I thought that it was beacuse of lack of sleep. In the evening everything just passed away and I felt very good. I came back home and suffered from panic attacks. They weren't massive, but they were more frequent. I am a very good student. I like to learn, but sometimes it was too much. I slept just 4-5 hours per night, drank lots of coffee and energy drinks. In May I had my exams. During one exam I suffered from massive panic attack. But after it I felt fine. In May was my birthday. I had just a glass of champagne. The other morning I had coffee, because I slept just 4 hours that night. That day we went to the beach with my friends and there I had my panic attack in the bus. I got out of the bus, because I thought that I am going to pass out, I felt dizzy, like attached from the world. It scared me so much. I called my dad and he brought me home. After that day everything was worse and worse. I saw everything in 2D, room was floating, I couldn't recognize myself in the mirror. But I went to school and magically it passed away again. I felt anxious, but I was not suffering from dp/dr. Then I went to psychologist. She said that I am just extremely anxious. I tried to calm down. Then everyhing was quite good. Just my memory was a little bit worse. In June I felt fine, but then our class had a party. There I had few drinks. The other day my "dp/dr?" came back. I felt attached from the world, like a little bit strange, I couldnt recognize my loved ones. Like they looked the same, but somehow different. This haven't isolated me from the world. I was still enjoying my life. It was getting worse and worse. I had bad headaches and neckaches. Appeared more and more new symptoms:Being in a fog or dreamlike state, world seems 2-Dimensional/viewing life through a camera lens, Things happening around you don't feel like they are really happening to you, Sensations that the light is fading, Feelings are dull and blunted, Unable to feel intense emotion or any emotions, Losing emotional connections to friends/family or humans in general, I felt like not myself. But I was hanging with my friends, was communicating. But I started to notice that when I was with my friend I started to be angry and irritatable and isolated myself from them, because I didn't want to hurt them. I went to psychologists, psychiatrists nothing can help me, because they don't understand me. And everything is just moving so slowly.Now I am a terrible mess. I hate myself. My symptoms are crazy:

I am isolated from he world,i cant leave my home

I'm completely apathetic to everything.

I don't feel sympathy for normal human problems that people deal with,

Any type of problem I think of, it always leads me to questioning existence,

Every kind of human interaction weirds me out, people looks weird to me and a little scary, I'm constantly trying to be my old self

I'm unable of having panic attacks anymore

I feel like I'm in hell. Most of my life I always tried to be a happy person, and now I can't even remember how to be like that anymore

I feel extremely alone. People are around me, but I don't feel like they are truly there. It's an awful feeling that I hope I can rid of.

I feel completely unattached from the world, it scares me,

Feel like i am going to pass out or faint

Fear that I am going crazy (I just get crazy thoughts) or i am schizophrenic

Questions in the morning why an I here, who am I,

Feeling like in a bubble

Crying every day

SYMPTOM THAT SCARES ME THE MOST: I FEEL ALIEN LIKE, I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE ON THE EARTH, LIKE MY HOME IS NOT HERE, LIKE I AM BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS AND QUESTIONING HUMAN EXISTENCE. I CAN'T GO OUT, BECAUSE EVERYHING LOOKS SO SRANGE TO ME.

There are much more symptoms, but I can't remember them now. I've tried meditation, yoga, cold showers, to do something to be occupied, but nothing helps me. I am prescibed diazepam and i quite helps me.

I AM IN HELL! I am tired of it and crying every day. I have no motivation to do anyhing.

    From what I've learned . DP/DR for one isn't dangerous...you won't lose your mind although it feels like you will! It's a safety mechanism of the brain for if we are in an anxious rundown state. It protects the brain essentially. Look at it as a blessing and don't fight it or fear it. (Easier said than done )!!!

    First things first. You are not alone. You are never alone. Don’t let this consume you and take affect on your personal life and school. Each day is a struggle but know this, this doesn’t last forever. Yes, I am still going through this and I’ve never been this bad but you should probably stay away from alcohol or any type of drugs on those that are prescribed to you. I know everything seems awful right now but you justs have to have some little hope and with that hope you will get through each day at a time. Take each day at a time. 

    I don’t know if it’ll help or make things worse but when I read people stories on Dr/Dp I have some kind of comfort. Sometimes talking about it can make it worse. Just take each day at a time.
