Mental Health Solipsism?

[Markomarkh]

I was never really diagnosed with this as I don’t think its taken seriously. I suffered this in my school days in 1994 when I was 15 years old. I was watching a film called jungle fever and was very depressing and ended with my first mental health attack and thought I was the only one experiencing the universe and why can’t I see my own face for real, is the world only viewed from me? How can you prove other people are real and have their own views and experiences, everything could all be a movie or animation I’m living. You other humans could just be me in another dimension and timeline. I think we are all the same consciousness but in separate bodies having separate experiences. Is solipsism happening a lot to people? Why are people so selfish these days? I think I suffered it because of over using computers back in the day. You experience this?

I experience this once in awhile, but then I quickly remind myself.. Who cares.

Why does it matter? Why is it a source of anxiety? Your reality is still moving along just as it did before, you just now believe that you are one and the same with everyone else around you.

I think this is a realization many undergo during psychedelic sessions but can manifest in many different ways. For some it is a source of anxiety which could snowball into DP/DR, whereas others see it as a way to treat their fellow human being better. If that person is really you then deep down you can understand their flaws and why they are the way they are, you can love and accept them.

For me as the years go on, I truly do feel like I can just look at a person and in a flash I have a sense of their life history and why they are who they are.. Whether I truly am getting a sense of who they are or it’s all in my head, idk. But again I think this feeling manifests different for everyone.
