I have this delusion that we live in a simulation/coma/dream and I feel like it never ends. I see many people on here talk about psychotic episodes and how they get better but to me everything is so fake I can't discern between reality and what's not reality. Like what if this world really doesn't exist and mental illness is just a concept that is non existent and my brain is the one that made up these concepts? Then what is reality? Rn I truly do believe that non of this is real but I desperately want it to be real because I've achieved so much from getting out of the psych ward to almost going into my second year of my psychology undergraduate degree. Is there a way to once and for all know that this world is indeed real? Because I don't want the efforts that I put in here not amount to anything in whatever "real life" might be...

Hope this doesn't trigger anyone if it does I will delete it and I understand if I get a warning. I did read the rules but didn't see anything related to this topic.
