What happens when you think of it as real?


If, for instance, a hallucination set us off, would the hallucination be considered "real?" It was/is real enough to trigger us. Identifying the trigger is important, whether or not we can determine if the trigger is real. It really triggered us!


I am hoping you will be able to find a way out of the dissociation soon and can enJOY life.
I tried taking my thorazine twice last night and it did nothing for the trigger... So I guess it is real, which just makes it worse I think... I didn't sleep at all because I was scared of having more nightmares but I'm going to bed soon (it's only 6pm here) because I'm exhausted... And I had the first part of a root canal done today sour of the moment... So I'd rather fall asleep before the numbing wears off all the way.
