    I’m not sure what “questioning your reality” means. Sounds like something you would do on LSD.

      Interesting. I always used LSD as a tool to help sort through my reality, as it gives me an objective view of it.

    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 taste my own pee to make sure it’s real.

    Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

        Likely not. Taste should be fruity, with a hint of olives.
        Stirred, not shaken.

        You should probably check with your bartender and change your medication for a while. Try Bud Light.

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

    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’m not sure if I quite understand the question, but would introspection be an answer? Otherwise maybe some close friends and family

    I don’t really have a specific person that I go to, and it doesn’t happen that often (at least I can’t think of an example)

    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.

    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.
