Tonglen is very difficult. I've found the benefits to be worth it. And I don't actually do it that often.

It sound stupid, but it takes me a long time (often weeks) to sort out when people are real and when I'm just hallucinating them. I wonder if that's playing in to this.
You can do tonglen for all those who, like you, hallucinate other people and have to spend weeks figuring out if they're real.
