I get this feeling sometime that there is no life outside of me, that every one I see is fake.
I feel like i am the only existence in the world. I have psychosis . Does anyone else feel the same? I need therapy or something to help me realize that life is individualized. Maybe there is life outside of me.

i understand in a way but it's because i feel the exact opposite. i feel there is no life inside me, that i am here as an observer, that everyone else exists but i do not, that i'm not really human nor contain normal human qualities and thoughts (day-to-day drull), just the basics, enough to let me pass through.
however, i do feel like others are very fake but its because i usually see inside people. true raw emotions and most people have a cover to protect or to ignore their real feelings. so i look past what they say and look at them. and what i see is mostly fake, and then it makes you feel empty. empty life, empty love, empty emotion...etc.
i would try therapy if i were you. it's worth a shot. but sometimes if you thoughts are overwhelming maybe some meds would help in the beginning. a small dose of AP or some benzo's or something.but i would think that therapy would be the one way to really help with these thoughts. i will soon be working on mine, if i can handle staying with my new T...well, see.
best wishes.

> I feel like i am the only existence in the world. I have psychosis...If you were psychotic D, most likely you wouldn't question these feelings, rather you would be intrenched in your reality that you alone exist and all others are there for your amusement or torment. If these thoughts are disturbing to you and more than philosophic ponderings then I would suggest that you seek professional counseling. BTW, they were not uncommon to me in acute manic episodes in my past.
Best wishes, Toph

Feelings of the world around you being unreal can also come with extreme anxiety, in my experience, as can feelings that you're unreal.
