Story by "Desiree"
|
Hey, I am Desiree and I have just developed
depersonalization disorder. I am 17 years old and I am scared to
death. The first time I felt this sensation was a few days ago, about a
week after getting high for the first time. I am constantly
nervous, anxious, and my heart races. I feel disconnected from the
world, like nobody is real to me. I try to get solace from my
boyfriend but it just feels like he isn't real. Everything
seems to go real slowly and I just don't feel real anymore. When
people talk to me I am hearing their voice but I it feels like I'm not
hearing it, it doesn't sound real. I constantly have to keep
moving and I get nauseous a lot. I feel so empty inside and I am
more irritable then I used to be. I've read many of these stories
and it made me want to cry because I thought I was the only person that
had these feelings. I touch, smell, see, think but none of these
feel real to me anymore. The thought of being a human suddenly
feels odd to me. I've forgotten what it was to laugh.
I pray but it doesn't feel like I am praying to anything because nothing
seems real anymore. I can't think or remember like I used to.
It bugs me out that humans can think inside their minds and see pictures
in there minds. I know it sounds stupid but that's what I feel.
I feel so disconnected. I know God will help me through this because
through Him all things are possible. But sometimes I feel He isn't
there and I am just an experiment. I am like this all the time now. But
one thing is for sure, in my belief, when Jesus takes me into His arms
everything will be OK and I WILL feel real again, I just have to wait
now.
