Unsure if I have Depersonalization Disorder, Help

Hello, I'm sixteen and I think I have a problem. I don't want to tell my family yet because they would think i was just diagnosing myself with things and...well nevermind. But i recently got into a fight with them and when i couldn't take it anymore i blanked out, detaching myself and clearing my mind of everything. I felt empty inside, almost like i wasn't really there, and blocked everything out. Once i calmed down i felt as if i weren't really in the situation and i was floating away. I was sad and frustrated at first but then felt nothing, blank, and as light as a feather. I realized this was a recurring thing and looked it up and came up with something called depersonalization. I looked at the symptoms and saw most of them matched. During the day my mind wanders, even with friends, and i think of other things. It's almost as of i'm not there and my mind is somewhere else. I blank out easily while talking to friends as well. I have even described to a few of them the feeling of not truly being there with them, that i feel like im not alive, or that i'm somewhere else. My mind usually goes to the world of fantasy where my thoughts play out like a movie before me and i lose my sense of reality. Nothing but my thoughts seem real at those times. The day may not feel like a dream but it does feel like i was never there, or it never happened. A few times I have even wanted to throw myself in front of a car because i felt as if life wasn't worth living. I don't know if this is depersonalization disorder, it might just be depression, but maybe someone on here can help me confirm whether it is, or isn't. Thankyou.

Hi. Welcome to the forum!

I'm sorry to hear you are struggling at the moment...

It could possibly be depersonalization disorder but you would probably need to talk to a trained mental health professional and describe your symptoms to them to find out. If it is depersonalization you could get therapy to help...

Also depression and dissociation disorders often tend to go hand in hand. If you have felt like you wanted to commit suicide then you should definitely seek medical assistance because there is help available. If you don't want to tell your family yet, could you at least arrange to go see a doctor to talk about it?

Take care,

I have exactly the same thing.
I have been given much advice, and unfortunately, the symptoms have never gotten better, only worse.
People have suggested many things, from a lack of sleep to iron deficiencies.
I know what I have is for life, and I know there is nothing I can do.
Its an anxiety disorder, and im sorry to say, if you have it like me, then there is nothing you can do but play the waiting game.
You can feel it too?
Does it feel like VERY VERY soon something MASSIVE is going to happen to change EVERYTHING.
when that day comes, I know My DPD will go.
I hope you have the same feeling.
Its a feeling of love and hope.
If like me, then there are three things you want,
Peace.
Love.
Light.
Think carefully, if this is the case, then pursue it.
Is it not better to have an uncertain future than no future at all?
Dont give up.
Dont give in.
You are strong.
You are special.
And you know it.
I beleive in you.
