Alot of people’s issue on this site is trying to somehow find the real reality, when reality is within our own mind. Most of these delusions and hallucination and the stuff we don’t want can be worked out if you allow yourself to midfulpy do so without fear.
I think I might look into Buddhism as I think a lot about the purpose of life. And I am not keen on following a religion.

I don’t believe I’ll think myself into a new way of thinking.

Buddhism is more of a practice then it is something u read up on like Christianity. For example this one monk as a young child was head of his lineage was forced to sit without moving five hours at a time with threat of lashings so that he could grow his discipline and wisdom. Try getting an app that teaches you how to meditate and go from there.

Not by thinking but by manifesting and believing without trapping yourself in that part of your mental prison.
You don’t know, but I was so full of fear. Actually, fear comes back to hurt me again and again.
At my age it is just a bit easier to affirm “This too shall pass.”

I’m starting to wonder if reality is just my own construction, or some type of construction by an outside force that I am immersed in. There are too many improbabilities, if not downright impossibilities, that have gone on in my life for it to be just the normal cause and effect we all take for granted. It’s starting to seem fishy. It already stank.

In my experience…schizophrenics think way too much about things that aren’t the important.
I’m not saying what your saying isn’t…I’m just saying obsession and thinking about one thing really doesn’t do us justice!
I know my flags. I know my weakness. That is more important. You know your symptom set and you have some strategies to work through that you on the path to wellness wherever that is!

I used to go through so many delusions about not being human and being x instead that I eventually chose a motto “sum quod sum et nihil” which (in questionable Latin idk I used internet sources) means “I am what I am and nothing more” to remind myself to stop obsessing over it so much
