      That’s weird.
      I came to say the same thing but now I’m uncomfortable that my unintelligible nonsense isn’t even original unintelligible nonsense.

    I taste my own pee to make sure it’s real.

      My pee has a kind of metallic/blood taste. Am I not real?

        Likely not. Taste should be fruity, with a hint of olives.
        Stirred, not shaken.

        You should probably check with your bartender and change your medication for a while. Try Bud Light.

    A dream check like checking the lights or poking my palm with my finger?

    Depending what you actually mean, I think a therapist might be your best bet. Like, are you unsure if what you’re seeing and hearing is real or are you just having an existential crisis?

    Myself. I work out what all the steps were that led me to being right here right now. Like where did I wake up this morning, how did I travel to this location.

    I’m not sure if I quite understand the question, but would introspection be an answer? Otherwise maybe some close friends and family

    I don’t really have a specific person that I go to, and it doesn’t happen that often (at least I can’t think of an example)

    Borderline schizoaffective, psychotic features. Constantly questioning sanity. Reality often surreal. Dbt, cbt has helped the most. If I practice mindfulness, grounding exercises daily… when mind spirals, reality starts to explode, easier to come back, keeps me tethered.

    Tho, once as kid, when I became convinced I might be a disembodied brain floating in a jar, started to seriously freak out. Came home in terrorized panic, flipping madly thru my bookshelf, and reading “summa theologica” finally made the panic stop.

    I turn to the little pit in my head, shove all that inside the compacter and force it down for a nice good little forever. Does it work? TBD

      I’ve been on the internet too long. My first thought was that this is a reference to a cat.

          Don’t overfeed the cat or you might get meowningitis.

    Jesus Christ. Just kidding, it’s David Rakoff. I find his essays comforting.
