You probably are an outlier. Most people haven't experienced a complete detachment from reality. However, you are not alone. I lost my marbles in 2020. Covid isolation, lack of separation between remote work and personal life and a having a 2-year at home at all times without family help led me to two consecutive visits to a mental hospital. I had never experienced any signs of mental illness other than some mild depression and anxiety. I was well into my 30s. However, with my mental break, I was fully gone for about a month and half. It wasn't fossils for me, At various points, I believed that: - I was dead - Water is the only thing needed to sustain human life and we're all being poisoned - My daughter was dead - I was in hell - I was abducted by aliens - I was in a real life version of the Simpsons (where I was Bart Simpson and the other mental hospital patients were other characters) - I had perfect pitch and could harmonize better than Brian Wilson - I was a genius - My mom and dad were trying to kill me - I was the spiritual successor to Daniel Johnston - I could travel through time I had to go through 14+ ECT procedures to come back to reality and the transition back reality was the most difficult experience of my life as I felt broken was deeply, deeply depressed and suicidal and that I was failure to my family. It was and has been very isolating to not have an outlet to talk about this experience with anyone. This is a throwaway account, but I have an email if in my profile if you (or anyone else) wants to discuss mental health issues honestly and not feel so alone or judged.
