Questioning reality is a fools effort and I’ve wasted too much of my brain energy in life thinking about it.

That said, I’ve learned when I start to think about it again, I focus on being present + attentive and that’ll gets me back in-line.

to authenticate, ask yourself 3 random security questions:

what is your mother’s middle name?, which city did you meet your significant other?, what’s the name of your favorite teacher?

sites love to do this so it might be working for them~

jokes aside, just focusing and grounding is a good first aid when things spiral out of control.

there’s groups out there that like exchanging affirmation cards, if that rocks your boat.

Not my reality, that’s for sure. Bitch be looking’ mighty suspicious lately.

Myself. I work out what all the steps were that led me to being right here right now. Like where did I wake up this morning, how did I travel to this location.

A dream check like checking the lights or poking my palm with my finger?

Depending what you actually mean, I think a therapist might be your best bet. Like, are you unsure if what you’re seeing and hearing is real or are you just having an existential crisis?

I turn to whoever I had been rejecting before. Isn’t that the point?

Other people, as they have diffrent point of view. Beware that some will try to manipulate you.

As a person who just had psychosis 2 days ago, go to people who understand you and where you feel safe 🥲 Don’t call the police because a swat team will arrive 🙈😂 Endure it until you actually are at the safe place 🙈😂

I turn to the little pit in my head, shove all that inside the compacter and force it down for a nice good little forever. Does it work? TBD

Borderline schizoaffective, psychotic features. Constantly questioning sanity. Reality often surreal. Dbt, cbt has helped the most. If I practice mindfulness, grounding exercises daily… when mind spirals, reality starts to explode, easier to come back, keeps me tethered.

Tho, once as kid, when I became convinced I might be a disembodied brain floating in a jar, started to seriously freak out. Came home in terrorized panic, flipping madly thru my bookshelf, and reading “summa theologica” finally made the panic stop.

Jesus Christ. Just kidding, it’s David Rakoff. I find his essays comforting.

I like to get in touch with just how well my intended body movements are relayed through my senses. It’s why I do flow arts and competitive gaming. It reminds me reality is there trading blows with me.
