Struggling with depersonalization

Hey everybody, I'm new here and looking for advice.

So, my dp started about 2 months ago during my first ever panick attack at night. It's worse when I'm out and around many people. I just might be walking through a store and everything feels like a dream. I feel like I'm floating and I feel so shallow. I look at my body and there's just nothing in there. And I'm so scared that I'll never get normal again. School starts again in 3 days and I'm so scared that I won't be able to go or that I'll have a breakdown again.

And adding to this: I've also just felt so tired and lethargic. I have NO energy and motivation for anything. My muscles feel so weak.

I just want to get better and I believe that I will get better. But please leave some advice in the comments on how I can get over it or how you got over it. Thanks so much!!

Do you take any medication? Seen a doctor? I have been dealing with this hell for 6 months now and some stuff slowly fade but I come to realize I can't do this without medication.

I've been feeling weird since April, I can see and listen but nothing seems to exist, do you feel the same?, is this DP/DR?

I have been in this hell for 6 months. And it's been a horrific nightmare. By forcing myself and ignoring I been able to function ok now (when it started I couldn't)I am hoping my new psychiatrist comes up with a better plan because I clearly need some meds.

Thanks for replying, it's comforting to know that at least I'm not the only one with this crazy thing, but it would be nice that somebody discovered a cure or treatment for this because sometimes it gets better, but sometimes gets worse, so I feel like it's a kind of challenge to live with.

I'm going to try to stay strong, I hope you too!
