Separating reality from fantasy

Do any of you have any delusions that are so intrinsically tied into your real life that there is no way of unpacking what was real and what was delusion. For example, decades ago I had a massive argument on the net with a seemingly massive group of people. I don’t know who they were, but so many topics were covered from science to religion and philosophy and politics and so much more. I have been seeing references to that argument in films and tv and real life ever since. Nobody believes me that the argument was even real. The rational part of me knows every reference could be coincidence or hallucinations, but they seem oddly specific.

Yes. Some of the ‘events’ were seamless and tied to life…I don’t know which was worse. The events or the fact that people didn’t believe me. It’s like I have no credibility with this illness. I just had to accept this and move on.

I like how people can think it’s just weird thoughts. It’s like no these weird thoughts come from how I experienced the world. I didn’t think the car was revving their engine just because of my thoughts. That’s how I perceived and felt it. Same with other stuff. There is a limit though to where I used to come up with totally false delusions not based on my experience of reality. It felt kinda like I was just making those up.
