I was doing some journaling this morning about my difficulties with determing what's real and what's not and wondered what some of you might think if you have a similar problem.

I have general difficulty telling what's real versus what's not real. It's not particularly distressing to me. I think I've simply come to terms with the fact that I can't tell the difference and that what I'm experiencing might be a complex hallucination/delusion. But when I do get stressed out and my symptoms worsen, my difficulty stresses me out even more and starts feeding the anxiety.

So I'm wondering if anyone else has trouble determining what's real and what's not. Are you able to eventually figure out if something is real or not and how do you do it? My previous T always says to "reality test" the situation, but when I'm stuck in the moment I find it impossible to do any kind of reality check.
