i was into dpdr for four years and got used to it but a week ago i was watching walking dead and suddnly panicked that nothing is real and was thinking wht if its all my imagination and i believe that nothing is real not just a feeling or thought and since that actually afraid of everyone think i triggred psychosis by that movie and believed no ond is real and im alone so alone i told my bf to tell me if he is real but i cant believe he is real as i used to with dpdr which i was sure everything is real and the problem is with me

I struggle with certain notions of existence. It sometimes becomes so intense. I'm sure you've been told that the very fact you're raising this issue now is proof that its not psychosis. Being intensly wierded out isn't psychosis. By the way you write it is clear you are still aware the problem is you

Four years ago i went through a brief 'nothing is real' phase during heavy dpdr, but it cleared up pretty quick. These existential ruminations are very, very common

stop being afraid of psychosis . you are just torturing yourself without any reason . psychosis is treatable with meds but you dont even have psychosis . its just a mix of dp + anxiety + panic + obsessive thinking . possibly caused by trauma or something

psychosis is something different

and yes everything is real

and yes I have had similar shit (but not exactly what you had) . I think mine was even worse than yours and I still have it sometimes ( I am not trying to downplay your problem and suffering dont get me wrong) and I will not tell you what my thoughts were because that might trigger you even more

you will be fine dont worry

sometimes all that you need is another voice telling you everything is alright. which, it is...

yeah, we're all real. that's something you knew for a long time and will have to learn to re-accept. once you do, life becomes SO much better
