I get really frustrated when somebody says to me 'oh but that's not even real' or similar when I have just tried to explain to them something that I thought was really important. It was something that bugged me a lot when I was at my worst. To make it even worse for a long time I believed that it wasn't me but everyone around me who had gone psychotic, and that I had some connection to reality that nobody else had.

These days I try to be more accepting and take the more philosophical view that there is no such thing as 'reality' because (as has already been said here) we all see things differently from each other.
