Look, eventually, you're going to have to come to one of three conclusions:
1. Every single person you talk to and show this issue to is lying to you.
2. The symptoms are real but you are the only person who can perceive them and everyone else except you experiences the delusion that you are alive and well.
3. You are experiencing a delusion consistent with cotard syndrome.
Chances are, everyone you know is not lying to you, nor are they experiencing mass hallucinations.
And as for the "I'm not crazy" argument,
1. How would you know? Delusions are indistinguishable from reality. That's kind of their whole schtick. As a result, the person least qualified to speak to whether or not an individual experiences them is the individual in question (that's you in this case). If you are seeing visual signs of decay on yourself that no one else is seeing, it might be time to take a hint. If doctors saw nearly any of the symptoms you described, you would be in crisis care at a hospital right now. There's a reason you aren't.
2. Look, from the way you react to comments on here and the fact that you refused to see a psychiatrist, it seems to me like the problem here is that you think that if you are experiencing delusions, something is lesser about you. Like there's some kind of "normal or crazy" dichotomy. Here's the thing, though: there isn't. Just like arthritis or high blood pressure or cancer, delusions are things that just happen to humans sometimes. Some folks get them from head trauma, some from chronic mental illness, some from extreme hunger or need to sleep, and some never get them at all. You wouldn't walk into a doctor's office complaining about pain and refuse to be tested for arthritis, would you? Why would you do the same here?
