14 years old, depersonalization?

Postby sherrr » Thu Jul 01, 2010 3:04 am

it started about 2-3 years ago.
in the summer for a little bit it seemed as is everything was like a game or a dream.
it would go away mainly durring the school year, only really durring summer that bothered me most.
recently, last spring i had a sinus infection, which is what i thought cause this out of it, detached feeling.
just now, about 1 week ago it started to bother me again.
I am somewhat use to it now... but i still just cant take it.

This detached state usually comes durring the summer, which makes me think its allergies.
It COULD be the allergies that trigger it, and the anxiety that makes everything "detatched"..
a weird thing that i notice is like, faces and people seem like weird and different, VERY HARD TO DESCRIBE.
i feel as if im insane.
but the thing is, when it stopes bothering me, i resume life as if nothing ever happened. im happy again and i LIVE LIFE.
but then it'll come back, and ill cry a lot and im just scared. im only 14 going to 15. i should live life, not fear it.
my mother says its allergies, i use to beleive her because of the sinus infection, i thought that was it. its not.
ever since the first episode i got this disconnected dream like phase, i have never really been 100% myself. and when i get really disconnected, i dwell on that and get really scared ill never get better.
while typing this, im a little better. i seem to be better at night when im tired, i gues cause im not thinking about it.
but if anyone can help, please.

Hi sherr,

It sounds as if it could possibly be depersonalization. What ever it is, it is definitely causing you distress and I am sorry to hear that that is the case :( The only way to know properly if it is depersonalization would be to go to a trained mental health professional and describe your symptoms to them. If it is depersonalization, it is unlikely to just go away without treatment as you would need to discover the underlying cause behind why you are experiencing this. Therapy would probably be in order. Depersonalization is often caused by a significant trauma at some point in your life, to kind of protect you from it.

Take care,
Lipstick
In a way, I am not defined by my dissociation. In a way, I am.
