I have an ongoing dissociation that is sort of a delusion: everyone in the world is fake except me. Everyone is just an actor, whose lines are handed out from a central source, whose purpose is to keep me trapped in a horrible mental illness for the rest of my life. These people are causing the mental illness by punching my buttons constantly. They know my hopes and dreams; they know my scares and demons; they take advantage of this knowledge to attack me and keep me ill. While I'm experiencing this delusion I am dissociated from myself and the people around me, since we're all just saying our lines and not being our true selves. Their job is to torment; my job is to suffer. This can go on for hours at a time.
