Hey guys, I am new to the website and I am not really sure how it works. Alright, let me get straight to my point. I am a 15 year old boy. I think I am one of suffering from DP. Depersonalisation has caused me a lot of problems. As usual I have the same 'floating on a cloud' feeling that DP creates. However, it creates many more fears than just that "cloud" feeling - I start creating scary thoughts, and asking myself questions that I know are false but my brain feels forced to make me think that way. (Questions such as, Why am I behaving like this ? Do I have cancer ? Do I have any other disease that is causing me to behave in such a different way ect..) It also caused me other fears such as the fear of becoming a drug addict in the future. (I am 100% against all drugs except against marijuana which I personally believe isn't harmful, anyways I don't do drugs, and try to be as healthy as possible. - Except drinking alcohol from time to time just like most teenagers do. When I say time to time I mean like 1 or 2 a month). I always feel this pressure and anxiety acting towards me and I find it horrible, especially because I am during my exams and I can't concentrate like I would want to. I honestly have nothing wrong in my life that could be causing this. I am born in a good family, have loads of friends, work and have good grades. I started reading all types of things on the internet which have just increased the depersonalisation. Look, I am basically lost and need to find help, I am currently going to a therapist but I feel like it is too slow and it is going to take years to heal. I also have issues with masturbation. I usually do it once a day, which I've heard is average for 15 year old teenagers and believe there is nothing wrong in doing that. I am straight and don't feel guilty when I masturbate (unlike some post I read on internet). The last time I did it, I had a feeling like If i wanted to faint, like a panic attack for some weird reason. I have been trying to think every day from where this DP and anxiety comes from, but I can't find from where they come. I have nightmares overnight and sometimes wake up in fear. I am really needing quick help because this c**p got me on my nerves. Not only am I having a lack of sleep but I am also feeling discouraged, and believing that all this c**p will never leave me. If you can help, that would be great. Maybe even little tips would help. I rather get correct answers that will make me feel better and make me act in a different way than having people answering with long answers full of lies like many answers I saw on the internet. I believe it is just stress. I don't want to go on medication because I find that stupid for a 15 year old and would rather fight it directly mental to prepare myself for later on in case I get another issue. I appreciate your help guys and thanks for all the replies.
