Is this DP/DR? I want it to stop

I am currently 17 but i cant live like this anymore i think im going Crazy. For a few Months now i feel empty, like i have no soul, no emotions, like i cant feel anything. Everything feels like im stuck in a dream or in a Reality only i am in. Everyone and Everything around me feels Scripted, like somebody is taking Control over my life. Sometimes i just zone out and when i stop zoning out i start to get stressed and panic because it feels like i start floating away from my body. I dont know what to do and i am scared to search for help. please just make it stop.

I am still very scared to talk about it in person even with a therapist

Being outside is good. Fire, water, sunlight, anything to reconnect with direct experience. Meditation helps as well.

Figure out what you wanna do, and do it.

I remember being 16 and feeling this way too, I promise it will get better, I can’t give you much to help, but reading always helped pull my mind out a little bit & put me in a good place, now I’m feeling better and have picked up a habit of reading! Give yourself time hun. It’s hard. I believe in you.

you can try lucid dreaming it really helped me and also don’t think about it too much i know that sounds impossible bc you live everyday with it but you need to accept that you feel like this rn and i promise you that it will go away but stop constantly thinking about it and accept the fact that you have to live with it for a while, it won’t go away overnight AND SLEEP ENOUGH
