How can I know if I am psychotic? Or even if I have any awareness at all? Maybe it’s something else that labors and suffers for Jinx?

You can reality check with people you trust.

I always wondered why philosophers questioned something so fundamental and obvious as whether we exist or not? And then I got caught up in doing it but it started when I had a relapse in my illness that blew me out of the water. I never knew why that happened I was doing what I needed to do and taking my medication?

I would say do what majority does…
I also heard in a course on CBT if there is any conspiracy theory or aliens exits … Does it affect me… If it does not no point thinking about those…

This is where I’m at now. I’m paranoid and don’t wanna leave, didn’t really sleep and I can’t keep my mind off my delusions for very long. Everywhere is closed today, so.

I do have to leave the house though. But only for a bit. Otherwise, I’m staying in.

I was stuck in the one room apartment for four days and broke the cycle today by getting out twice.

I find it helps to avoid thinking about existential things and over thinking things in general. Easier said than done, but I made a habit of it. Now I’m only troubled with such thoughts very occasionally, and when they do come around I do what I can to avoid playing into them.
