If I thought those things were real and they weren't what else do I think is real that isn't. I know logically the argument would be if it wasn't real then it would have gone away with the other hallucinations, but I can't help feeling like maybe nothing is real. I feel like I sound so stupid saying that. I took some sleep meds the other night and ended up getting up the courage to tell my husband this, and he's really supportive, and brought up my logical argument, but I still feel like I'm crazy and stupid and I just want to curl up in a ball and hide and get away from everything.

You may be right. There are new age and traditional belief systems that challenge the idea that the world as most people perceive it isn't real. However, they do warn that you still need to take care of your body, go to work, pay your bills, do your homework, or otherwise fulfill your obligations and live your life normally. Doing all of these things as you have done gives you more time to study and learn and think things through, to better understand the things you are considering. After you get through all the stuff that is false, you will reach and underlying truth. Probably more than one. These things work in cycles and you will keep going deeper.
