Derealization

I have felt derealization for about 4 days now and its freaking me out. I'm 15 and life scares me now and every time I think about it I cry. All I do is watch TV, cry and worry. When I think about things they feel so unreal like they don't make sense as to why they're here. I also am scared of gettingt older and change, is this caused by anxiety also? I'll feel perfectly fine one second then the next I'm scared to death. I am taking 100mg of Zoloft but I don't think its helping. My dad tells me its just an anxiety spell and it will pass. He also said I should go to the doctor and get Xanax to help me. I don't know what to do, can you help me? Thanks.

There's a board specializing in depersonalization/derealization (DP/DR), guys.

You should ask your doctor for Ativan or Xanax for emergencies until you get to your final Zoloft dosage. Zoloft should prevent what you're experiencing now, and you won't take any Ativan or Xanax.

You must be speaking with your doctor at least every 10 days to discuss how you're feeling and whether you need to increase the dosage, so why not tell him you'd like some immediate relief. Also tell him your symptoms, of course.
