    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.

    Therapist or sister, depending on the issue and severity.

    If you’re talking disassociation, I’m starting with some grounding techniques solo before attempting to contact someone. CBT stuff mostly.

    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.

  • 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.
