You are a very creative person!
I love that you are coming up with different coping mechanisms and playing mental games to comfort yourself. This reminds me of a session I had with T. I was sharing some of my own coping mechanisms, and feeling very uncertain about how 'sane' they sounded. T's response to me was: "you are a very creative person."
Up until that moment, I'd thought that sharing my made up stories, would only make me sound crazier. But, when T commented on my creativity -- somehow it gave me permission to embrace that part of myself.

Many other creative people have pondered this question. Heck, take a look at the popular movie 'The Matrix'. Plato, Descartes, Hume, Kant, and the list goes on -- many, many people have asked themselves 'what is real?'
If you are a highly intuitive person, and it sounds like you are, it can be doubly difficult. For example, I've always had 'senses' about people. I don't know *why* perse, but I have learned to listen to them. Just because other people don't sense the same things I do, does not make me crazy. It just means that we each encounter the world in a unique way. More often than not, with time, I find that my 'sense' of the person is correct. Am I crazy for listening to my inner self, or is that a gift that I have. Or maybe I'm no different than anyone else, but I have trained myself to be aware of certain cues that others pass. (Much like a trained detective will see 'more' in a crime scene than a layperson.)
Whatever the reason, I have found it very healing to embrace ALL of who I am -- and that includes the creative side that loves to make things up and play with ideas.
More support for ya!
