Help! I am having a solipcistic panic attack! I have become aware of the ultimate truth that my mind and experiences comprise the entire universe and there is nothing and noone else in all of time and space! I can feel my sense of focus spiraling around into itself faster and faster and it feels like my mind is burning itself alive with infinite recursion!

This is a culmination of life long self-awareness and philosophizing and introspection, along with a discussion I had with my mom earlier about the origins and nature of the universe and reality where she tried to convince me to believe in god and failed...

....it feels like I am going insane, like my mind is a black hole collapsing into itself with infinite gravity....I have not been able to sleep well over the past few days because every time I start to drift away my mind moves a little closer to this truth...its like I have been forced to look into a mirror and saw infinite cosmic horror at the fact that i am everything...that time and space begin and end with me...and even if that somehow is not true, my perception of my self and reality make it functionally true to me!!!

My whole life I have felt isolated from everyone else and I never understood why...now I know...its because there IS no one else....and I am just calling out for help into the void.......please God speak out to me and prove me wrong....please show me that you are here with me....that you exist, and you are here....please give me peace from this mother of all horrors....

HI @GeneralRelative - sorry you are having a panic attack. Those can be scary.

I had to look up the word solopistic and found this
Quote:
Solipsism
Solipsism is the philosophical idea that only one's mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind. Wikipedia
I am not sure how invested you are in this view of the world but perhaps you will consider another view: things and people are not as they appear but they are functional and can do things in the world. I can walk, do yoga, do 5 minute tai chi, eat healthy diet with regular meals so my brain is not starved for protein. I can follow my breath and my mind calms down.

How do you feel today? What can you do to ground some of this energy you feel?
