Sometimes i feel like my life isn't "real", like a story or book?

Ever since I was around 5, I have had this theory
that my life is just a story, and there are people reading about me, not just me but the world, everyone, and everyones actions, a few years ago, I kept having this dream, the dream was about, how there are these people, or creatures, or something bigger than us, reading or telling a story, and I was in it, and the feeling left, all until today, I was thinking about my life, and I just kept thinking "This doesn't seem real, whats going on here?" I also have a theory, that the government, or something, better yet, somebody is setting us up, as if there is an experiment going on with this world, as if we are all being played in a sick difficult little game, I know this sounds crazy, but I keep having thoughts of it, and lately, I have been seeing images like hallucinations of my mom, or sister, hanging dead outside my door, I know everyone who is reading this is probably thinking "That girl needs some help.." but I am serious, I think the government, or something, (somebody) is setting us up, I don't know what for, when, or how, but I believe something scary..dangerous..horrible is going to happen, I know you guys are like, "Wow this girl is definitely crazy.." I mean who knows..I might be, but still, does someone understand what I am saying?

I feel like I'm inside a game and some fucker is just messing with me

Yep it's called "derealisation" and it can occur on its own, or more commonly during other mental health problems like depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. Depersonalisation is a similar concept but essentially both are about being unsure of whether "you" and/or "everything else" are/is real. I get this sometimes but less these days. I read about it and studied psych at uni which helped at first, then made it worse cos I was thinking shit like "yeah but maybe someone put that stuff (in a psych text or similar) (maybe even like on a message board?), put it where I would see it, to throw me off and/or confuse me more... but that stopped before too long because there's no way to ever know if that was actually happening, so it just seems easier to work on the assumption that I and my experiences are real, cos it all seems pretty real!

Well, seems more real now that I'm not smoking pot cos I used to get stoned all the time and that definitely made everything seem less real. Not that I have any idea if thats a factor for you, but itsure as hell was for me!!

Hope this helps, if not read my other post about farts, might at least distract u from these feelings!

I do that too. I think it's normal. there are times where i feel like life is just a dream. And there are times where i feel like life isn't 'that' important, and i want to lay down on a couch or bed for the rest of my life. I don't know my people feeel these ways sometimes, but i think it is normal.

This is kinda related:

I sometimes feel like I'm recalling the story of my life to someone and I'm actually really old and all of this has already happened. I'm living a memory kinda thing.

same here. its normal when ur depressed. u dont aren't satisfied with ur limited life so u kinda make up ur own, and fantasize so much you lose track of reality and you really dont care cos its better this way... i feel like i am in a videogame or a cartoon or something, and i am the baddguy

this has happend to me before its so strange it doesnt happen as much but usually happens when your life is boring when its going too perfect or when some thing horrible affects your life.
