Does that mean that we are delusional?
Whatās your proof? It sounds crazy and delusional to me, but I definitely have some memories and anecdotal evidence from Philip K Dick and others.
You seem to be doing ok. Your posts make sense and you have awareness. I know itās hard if you feel like youāre slipping a little. Have you talked with your doctor about struggling?
think of all creatures. do humans understand the reality of bats who rely on echo-sonar? or why some birds migrate thousands of miles every year. thinking of the plight of all creatures makes us realize that reality is just the perspective of the observer.

Iāve always retained insight and never suffered from formal thought disorder, but this is how it usually begins with me.

For a while I believed plants were robotic in nature.
Weāre just squishy water sacs with bones in them, and we can talk. The rest is whatever you make of it.
I used to think and analyze a lot earlier in the disorder but now I try and keep things simple.
Because there is no evidence to the contrary. Without evidence all you have is a theory not a fact.
I wish I could share your faith in the water sac thingy but Iām a long way from that.

Wouldnāt that be a circular argument, one that begs the question?

I just donāt like beliefs that wind up with nobody else being real, because when I had those kind of beliefs, I did some really weird things and destroyed some valuable possessions 
Maybe other people handle them better.
You would think, but normally no evidence is a good sign that something does not exist, it is like simulation theory. It is not impossible, but the thing is you dont know, and there is a big difference between saying āI dont know it is possibleā and saying āit existsā.
It is basically why there is a catagory called unusual beliefs and not unusual posibilities.
Iām sorry. I wish there was more I could say that would help.

To me reality just seems like reality cos it feels like reality. Thatās all. When I was ill and thought I was dead I felt like I was in another dimension. Also at another point I felt like I was in a dimension of earth that didnāt feel so real. Another time I felt like God put me in hell. The first stage anyway. Another time I felt God put me in a kind of other weird dimension where I had to stay away from people or else cause serious harm to the planet. Psychosis is soā¦ Something

ā¦ Idk the word to say out loud to describe psychosis because it makes me uncomfortable.
Were your delusions accompanied by hallucinations?

reality is a part of many chains of evinces birth to death with others birth to deaths much like a centipede with a given time span .
They can do tests to see if we live in a hologram or not. Thereās a few ways. Personally, I strongly believe we live in a fake reality. Most people cannot tell. Iām trying to learn and accept and believe that it doesnāt matter. I had so many panic attacks and fear I just want it gone and to let go. I think meds relax me despite worsening my DP/DR.
