Prison of my own mind

if i can see ure post, and I believe im in the real world, then yea, ure fine. But jeez, a coma... ><'''

Being in a coma can do crazy stuff to a person's head; these thoughts could stem from that. Be fortunate that you are alive and still are yourself.

How do you guys know, I am real? You don't.
How do you know, that you are not making everything up right now? Maybe you are in coma yourself.
We don't know.

But hey, due to the fact, that the mind often tries to put things in the same storage boxes. This would explain the "similar" people and lifestyle. I've lived in the US for a while and when I got back to my home country, people seemed to look totally like some guys from the US.
So, totally normal.

for how long were you in a coma?

No. You're not in a coma, I can assure you, since you posted on this actual site. But you need to realise that since you're in this mentality that only you can realise yourself if you are or are not in a coma. You are not in a coma, I'm a person in the real world who isn't in a coma and is replying to your post, but only you can figure that out.

This is great, I sometimes think that the world is a matrix, and we are all here to do, what were all here to do. Know what i mean

"The illusion is grand but the reality is not the joke."

You're not in a coma.... wake up sean connor.... terminate............

I have the same experiances but I was never in a coma. People I see hear and smell always remind me of someone or something it's like dayjovue

TRUST ME,.. WE ARE ALL READING YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS WEBSITE, IF YOU WERE DREAMING THAN WERE ALL DREAMING WITH YOU, BEST OF LUCK...

Woah, very interesting!

I believe that everyone "creates" their own realities...but in your case, there MAY be something physical that could be contributing to this...

If you ever read up on cognitive development, or passively look around on the web or wiki like I do :), you'll find that the brain is not "fully developed" until about the age of 25. The idea that you're still vicariously living as a teenager in certain ways (I happen to be listening to 'Vicarious' by Tool right now, lmao) might be the cause of certain things in your brain being stunted in development because of the coma...postulating that the brain can continue developing at a normal pace even when comatose >.>

For the sake of the psychological community, I think you should visit a psychologist who would be interested in publishing their findings for your problem, even though I'm fairly certain that your reaction to this world is "normal" for being comatose for four years; the brain is a marvel, and it should be able to 'get back on track' eventually :P

i used to think that too - when i was young and drinking alot..
but why wouldnt it be possible? people go crazy and are trapped in their own minds...why couldnt it be the same for people in comas?
when you sleep, you dream.
when youre in a coma, i assume you dream...but your mind is somewhere else, and if youre not able to physically get up and live, why cant ur mind create the image that you actually are?
either way...real or not...if its all going your way then i dont see a problem! haha

you are already awaken my friend....trust me...sometimes it happens to me...I kind of a having this de ja vu as if I'm still 9 years old!! now I'm 28....relax dude...find something fun...like sports and make yourself tired to death....

mmmm, way to try an fool me, but i know im in the fake world, see what you are is just a distraction to make me think that i am in the real world when really you are fake too!!! im on to you buddy (aka dude who is really just a creation of my own mind)

You are suffering from what is known as dissociation. Very common after brain trauma. You really need to talk about this with your doctor.

Lol i have same problem, just its my 2 friends made me faint ... childish games... and from that point on i dont feel the same as i did before, but just think of what happens when u go to sleep, its allmost the same, so no worryes, either real, or no u are safe and sound ;P

You're crazy all of this is in my head.

lol

This question you posted gave me the chills as I read it.

Indeed this is very interesting, and it could be possible. Sort of like a dream that is neverending. I can imagine how you feel, it's kind of a scary mind state to be in. Who's to say what is real an what is not anyways.

What is real? Something we can taste, feel, hear, smell? Logicaly this might "appear" to be real but, in "reality" you cannot make such a statement. All the external stimuli we percieve is converted to electrical signals and then transfered via nerves to the brain's appropriate area for "decoding". How do we know this decoding is 100%%?

It might be very possible that this could be occuring. But as I sit here and typing thus response, I'm very much alive and well. I'm living in a "real" world so if your here and I'm responding to you then your okay.

Since no one seems to have a valid answer for you here is my opinion- you are not trapped in your own mind- and if you are not seeing a psychologist/psychiatrist, you should be.

You should check out a tv show called 'Life on Mars', it's a British programme but I'm sure you could download it from somewhere. Aside from the fact it's really good the plot revolves around the problem you have...

Even if it is some sort of fake world you've created in your head... are you enjoying it? I would think so if everything seems to go your way. Just enjoy it, man. I mean who knows whats real anyways?
I don't think you're crazy. I think it's an interesting theory.
