Who is telling you that it isn't real? My pdoc and T never did that they just asked questions and let me figure it out. Its kind of a slower gentler process but it can take months to get rid of the delusions that way even on the meds. I doubt they would send you back to hospital if you're honest but they might increase your med dose. You can expect your concentration to be fried for a while, brain games like luminosity and brain age on the ds or even crosswords helped me. Also you can try learning a new language or a musical instrument. I considered my brain to be damaged and used cognitive remediation (brain games) to get it back.
