What if we are one organism like cells in some part of bigger thing or something like that.

I question reality all the time.

I’m not sure it’s gotten me anywhere. But maybe it did.

I don’t want to talk about what I’m questioning though, in case it triggers someone else.

I see reality through some weird kaleidoscope filter.

That’s a really interesting thought. I do recognize that technically what we experience are the decoded signals in our brain from our five senses, and that in actuality we might just be the pink organ sitting in the dark seclusion of our skull… but then I remember that whatever this is, it is shared by all people, and therefore we need to treat it as reality so we don’t endanger others.

There is what is a priori- in the mind without the five senses. And what is a posteriori- what is derived from the five senses. There is realism- the world exists objectively as we see it. And non realism- the human mind alters reality to what is species specific affecting reality. There is epistemology- how do we know what we know. There is metaphysics and ontology. There are ethical conundrums. Many great minds have questioned reality. You may be one of them.

It’s more like reality questions ME. When you bump along on a low dose of APs with constant positives it means you do a lot of reality testing. I mean, A LOT.

It gets tiring.

Take required dose to be stable

Absolutely not. The dose needed to remove ALL positive symptoms turns me into a drooling lump who cannot hold down a job. I have spent years negotiating with doctors to use MY approach which is, living with managed symptoms, but actually LIVING because meds haven’t turned off my drive, my volition, my sense of being ME.

I use CBT, DBT, ACT, execise, diet, journaling, growth mindset, etc. to do this with medical oversight and approval. I have a wife and kid, a career, fun hobbies, and generally enjoy my life. I think my approach has merit.
