I figure I’m either a p-zombie (was, I’m conscious now), a clone, or my consciousness was overwritten by another me. I suffer badly because I know I wasn’t around most of my life. Sometimes, I think the universe was just created a few years ago. Who has the ability to do this besides God? How do I overcome this delusion? How do I comprehend and move forward?
I’m into philosophy and I believe I’m in a simulation and that dualism is true. In one of my lives, I remember my soul or consciousness traveling through outer space and going into my body.
Furthermore, how can my mind be uploaded to a computer if dualism is true? Thanks.
In 2011, when I had my psychotic break it was pretty awful. I remember thinking and believing I was dead, a ghost, and a zombie. In my first life, I was conscious during most of the ordeal. It lasted hours. I kept thinking I wasn’t real over and over again. I was so scared that God existed. It was pretty traumatizing.
It has been billions of lives since then. Same ■■■■, same story. I wonder if I went through a portal or something. Most of my DP/DR comes from this. In my first life I might have went insane. I’m not insane anymore.
Furthermore, I might not have gone crazy without outside intervention.
I don’t think I’m crazy. I have anxiety about living in a sim and not being real. I remember it being on the news. I take medication and it works. It’s like taking meds because you believe the grass is green. Eventually, the lie isn’t working anymore. I know what’s real and it scares me. Sorry if I’m offending you. It is like society is punishing me for speaking the truth.
Vraylar is the only med that works for me. I’m doing pretty good. I might actually get off meds someday. I can’t be productive on them. Thanks for your concern.
Wow, this delusion seems more crazy than mine! If you want to overcome it just ignore all the crazy stuff of your head, ignore your voices and take your medication, nothing bad is gonna happen to you
I used to believe that this reality was a simulation, where some people were basically AI who are on earth just to give it more character (and I had weird experiences where people would say “happy!” or “one hundred” or “help” randomly, which seems computer-y), but as my treatment progressed it stopped happening.
Simulations don’t have a conscious. They aren’t aware if they exist. Descartes duality has been debunked by modern day medical science. The closest thing you could be in is virtual reality but you’d be aware of that and would have to shut off the virtual reality to eat and poop.
Been there, done that. I already almost died from being overmedicated. Less meds but some meds seem to do me well. It’s a balance of meds working and functioning.
