I keep having these thoughts about worrying if I’m not experiencing reality and my real reality is actually something terrible happening and other people around me can only see this terrible alternative reality that’s happening to me while the real me is somehow stuck in some sort of other world. Does anyone else have thoughts like these and what should I do about them?

I dealt with the same a while back. All these thoughts are suggestions from the brain. My biggest thing is almost egging the thoughts on without seeking reassurance. You need to teach your brain that they no longer need to send these messages.

Thanks very much, I’ll think about that. Is there anything in particular you recommend me to do to help me do that?

@Jack I would try to do exposures online when I went through it. I would watch videos dealing with reality being a simulation.. stuff like that. While I would watch as anxious as I would be trying to figure out if reality was a simulation or not. I just didn’t answer the thought I just sat with the swirling thoughts and they soon went away.
