The Self Alone: Solipsism - Day 12 of "100 Symptoms"

Can you imagine some schizophrenics have the delusion and sense they are alone in existence?

Solipsism is symptom of psychosis, though it happens to be also a rare philosophical theory, that only the self exists.

It's a strange proposition, if simply because everything exists, but it can occur as a sense, or feeling that nothing else exists, or that everything is a spiritual illusion.

It seems for a moment everything has quieted, and an uncanny sense informs you that everyone has disappeared completely. No one is left in town. Everything is abandoned. It is a strange sense that is usually soon broken by someone communicating to you. 

Sometimes sadly, solipsism pairs with delusions regarding the authenticity of real relations-- friends and family. It can be hard to accept support when we are afraid of many things, even the very reality of your friends and family.
