Nothing is real

I’ve been having these very low bouts where I feel like nothing is real. Like perception is reality. Why fight each other everyday for our opinions but our opinions are OUR TRUTHS. That’s what I believe, that’s what’s real to me. Then I️ started thinking if everything is how I️ perceive it then what is anything?!? Is anything even real??? My chest like legit feels like it’s going to cave in from these thoughts.

It also freaks me out to think that I️ have a brain that can think these thoughts. It’s amazing

Hello, I am so glad you wrote. I am coming out of a bad depression and anxiety. The depression left me feeling as if things were not real. At my own house I felt like I was looking in on something. It left me feeling very uncomfortable. Even though I knew it was my brain playing tricks on me, it was not nice. Your chest will not cave in, you and I know that, it is a tricky brain game. Tell it to "Go away". Hope you are doing OK now. Keep in touch with us here, we will give you support. Sending Love & Peace. Sprinkle 1.
