if you are reading this you are not in a coma, you are not dead or dreaming. your life is not a lie, your relationships are not a lie, your memories are not a lie. you are not a hallucination or glitch.
you exist.
you are alive.
the world around you exists and keeps turning.
if you can’t trust all of your senses pick one right now you consider the most reliable and stimulate that. for me this is touch and smell. splash water on yourself. eat something comforting. smell dirt outside. play your favourite song on repeat. stare at one panel of a comic book for a long time.
this world is real and so are you. you are real. so take care of yourself.
Ok so this seriously hit home with me and kinda startled me. Thank you.
gah thank you this is so helpful for people who dissociate regularly/have varying psychoses
