Ever since I was a child, up untill now, aged 20, I live with the insuppressible idea that my life is nothing more than a nightmare from which I can never wake up. My rational mind can tell me that it is not really so, but I cannot get rid of the feeling, somehow.
Am I the only one who feels like this?
Do you really feel that your life is that nightmarish? If so, I suggest seeing a therapist. Of course, at some point it occurs to everyone that maybe life is just a dream, a nightmare, etc., but its just kind of a passing thought, nothing more. At least for me. But have you asked yourself this: Does it really matter either way? "Life" is only a word, so is "nightmare." You get to define those words. If you want them to mean the same thing, so be it. But while you're here (wherever here is) why not enjoy it to its fullest?
The feeling that you are actually the only "true" conscious mind in the world, and that everyone else is just a played out play around you? That everyone else aren't really conscious people, just the illusion of people with a role to play?
I think a lot of people feel like this.
We're you abused either physically, sexually, or emotionally? If so, get to therapy, and start healing, for your own sake.
