Sounds like you could be potentially suffering from Cotard's syndrome. Look it up and see if the jig saw puzzle fits.

Uh oh, maybe. I'm the same person who posted about loving the smell of rotting carcasses:
http://isitnormal.com/story/is-it-normal-i-cant-stop-sniffing-dumpsters-and-dead-things-160203/
This shit just started happening with me around 6 months ago or thereabout and I now am *really* wondering if something medical happened, if I sustained some kind of brain injury somehow. I don't recall anything happening but I have had a few seizures in the past, of which I have no memory of (I completely black out during the seizure and I have NO idea that it happened, people who were present told me what happened). It's possible I have had another one and just don't know it. I went to the doctor after 2 of these past seizures and no cause was pinned down nor was any permanent damage noted however I didn't have a full brain scan or anything, just some tests involving some physical tasks and coordination.
Thanks for taking my post seriously, it really isn't a joke although I know it sounds like it is. I appreciate your help.

Look up zombie snails, you may have a parasite in your body that is controlling your mind.

Make sure you get looked at for this condition, it sounds pretty serious. From what I've read, the condition has three stages that worsen overtime.
Wish you luck, and take care of yourself.

Are you typing on a computer? Can you eat, can you walk around? When you say something to people do they have the ability to respond? Do people scream when you do ordinary things on the computer? If the first four things answered yes and the last answered no you are alive. What kind of stupid question is this? I think you would know if you were a ghost. People are usually very bothered by paranormal activity.

You're stupid. None of that matters if you think you live in an alternate reality. What if I made all of this up to continue on "living" because I wasn't ready to die?

You are saying you are in an alternate reality? That sounds like you suffer from some sort of mental illness. In which case you are daft not stupid. Maybe a psychiatrist might be able to better answer your question.

I agree, that's how i feel. But i wouldn't say that 'RomeoDeMontague' is stupid... If someone doesn't understand something, it makes sense that it would sound stupid to them.

Op thinks they are dead. If they are dead they would not be here unless of course they are a ghost. So to think they died means they are asking us if they are living. By being able to ask this would indicate they are living. Unless they are a spirit. So either they are a ghost or they are alive. The things I listed would prove they are living. If some ghost was typing at the computer and it just looked like the computer was typing on its own that would freak most people out.

Guys, I really don't think this is a troll. This really is a disorder. You should look it up online, do some research, maybe even go to a therapist. I don't know if hypnotism works, but maybe give it a shot.

Yeah, really sounds like Cotards syndrome to me as well.
Unless you're saying that you died and were brought back to life and you don't beleive you're dead now. But if you were dead then you would be seeing other ghosts, and you would know you're dead because you can walk through walls and such.Comment Hidden ( show ) -

There's actually a similar problem I went through for a short period of time where I was convinced that everything around me was a figment of my imagination. I can't think of the name, though. It was terrifying to think of. I don't envy you, and I would try to do something about this before it gets worse.

There is a person near me that suffers from that delusion. Sounds terrible sorry to hear about it.

You think you're dead? Hmm. Try jumping off a cliff, and shoot yourself in the head on the way down or something. If nothing changes, then maybe you did die 6 years ago. And if it turns out you hadn't already died, then my suggestion should deal with that too.
You're welcome.:)

Can I ask how you believe you died?
Did you have a fascination with death before you believed yourself to already be dead?On how to be sure. I think it is similar to the "What if everything is a dream paradox", it is possible that every other person is a figment of your imagination and you are the only real person but if you were to accept that then your own identity would only be a figment of your imagination as it is defined by you experiences with the world and other people. In my personal opinion, humans can only accept their own existence in reality by acknowledging the existence of other people as real beings.
Hence you need to decide, if everyone around you is also dead or if everyone is alive and therefore you too are alive. It is not plausible that you are dead and yet have a similar physical effect on the world as the living unless everyone is also dead and therefore at the same level of existence. In essence you exist in much the same way as other people exist, so you either accept their existence as confirming your own or you deny the existence of everything including yourself in spite of what your senses tell you.

I think from a drug overdose. When I first got the thought that I might be dead, I began thinking retroactively about when the last time I was certain I was still alive was and how I think I died and it all made sense that it was probably 6 years ago.
No, I never thought much at all about death prior.
I don't think obsessively on this. I pretty much believe it (sometimes I think "this can't be true" but mostly I do believe it is true) and I'm neutral on how I feel about being dead. It is what it is. I don't really have too much of an understanding or opinion on the status of the world and people around me, as far as this death thing goes. I do wonder if this will continue to develop within me as time goes on. I should probably get evaluated but I don't know if I will go through with that.

Believe it or not, there's a name for this type of delusion: Cotard Delusion. Not sure how you can convince yourself that you're still alive, but maybe now that you know the name of what you have you can do some research on it.

Assuming your not some troll, i actually know what that's like. I had a Near Death Experience, and after that my life changed ALOT! I had some problems with disassociation (you know where you feel as though your life is a dream, or a movie, some shit related to ptsd), and somewhere along the line i came up with the idea that maybe i did die, and that this WAS the afterlife, my consciousness lingering on and making up some sort of alternate life...Since then I've recovered and the idea just sounds ridiculous! :/

"my consciousness lingering on and making up some sort of alternate life."
This is similar to what I feel.
Sometimes it seems ridiculous to me as well but most of the time it seems very plausible. I don't think about it obsessively, I have days that I think about it more than others and other days I don't think about it at all. In my mind, I've almost fully accepted it as being true but I don't feel like I need to worry about it. Like, it's not a huge deal. I'm dead. So what? There's nothing I can do about that.

Like others have said it really does sound like Cotard's Delusion and if I were you I'd research it and get help before it gets worse. Some people have even gone into a state of rigor mortis in severe cases.

It's probably Cotard's Syndrome.

You should also get a brain scan to see what caused the seizures and black outs.
Good Luck!
