I use to question why were we individuals or how? It’s hard to explain. Like how am I a person and the other person is at home. Even trying to write it makes no sense

Problem of other minds fucked me for awhile. Still fucks with me sometimes. Fuck whoever came up with that one.
Fermi Paradox creeped me out as well.
Universe from nothing doesn't make much sense to me, but I have wondered why anything exists at all.

it is interesting to read other ppls thoughts as it reveals how everyone else sees the world and how DP influcences those thoughts.
For me in the beginning, the scariest thought was that I had died and I was stuck in some limbo. It drove me wild for a time and gave me small panic attacks. As time passed, this belief slowly dissipated and was replaced by a much worse feeling. It got to a point where I questioned existence itself and why we are humans and why we loom the way we do.
I was questioning the very act of 'being', seeing, sensing the world. I would wake up and experience being alove and that made me feel bizarre.
The good news is that I believe I am recovering! Im slowly starting to feel connected to this world again. Im looki g at ppl as they are and not questioning as to why.
What helped me alot was meditation -- relying on the fact that the stillness of meditation is a true fortress of benign solitude.
I started engaging life more and waking up in the morning when my body was physically ready and not when my lazy brain decided it wanted to wake up.
I decreased my time spended on speculations and looking up DP, although some research DID help.
Im taking supplements and along with that a small dosage of lexapro.
I still have DP but I feel it subsiding.
Its all anxiety!

I've been obsessing over litterly anything through my DP journey. But i think mostly just looking at life and desperately trying to understand why and how things work. Like why do some people get born only to miss an arm, foot, get cancer at age 5, get blind. Why do some get born ridicously rich while others are born into poverty and bad enviorments. Life just seems like the ultimate cruel game where either everything is rigged against you in the most satanic ways possible, or you are one of very few lucky who has it good. But even then is it worth it knowing all the bad things going on?
But it is true. Everything is consciousness. Your reality is in your mind.

Panpsychism is a cool theory, and I think it's probably correct, even though It's kinda strange and unpopular. But it makes more sense than materialism, which makes no sense at all to me.
It is NOT true. Fear and truth cannot co-exist. I came onto this post expressing a huge fear of mine and you try and tell me it's true, don't fucking do that!
You're a fucking piece of shitOnly your resistance against the truth causes suffering. Accept what is, as it is, and see what will change
Acceptance. I have the same fear. You just have to accept it and the fear will vanish gradually. So I am here to help, my friend.
Ok I believe you are here to help
