How do you know if you have something for real and it’s not all in your head?

I am confused even more…most parts of it,is what i feel at the moment but i am not usre if i have that or if its just normal emotions…or if i have gone mad.
I don’t want to be mad,i want to be normal,i want to be my old self……
Catch 22. If you think you might be mad , then you are sane enough not to be mad.
Traumas in our lives can make us think we are ( going ) mad , because we are not thinking and behaving the same way as before . For most people it can take 3 months or 3 years before we absorb the trauma , after which time you will have a different outlook on life and become a different ‘ you ‘ for better or worse !
The point of madness is reached when you completely lose touch with who you were and who you are becoming . For some people the transition is unthinkable and rejected , they become the homeless , drunkards and deadbeats , full of no self-worth but lots of self hatred.
The fact you ‘ think’ you are going mad , tells me you are going through a tough time , but are perfectly sane. This is how our brains deal with difficult events in our lives . It can be worrying and it may have a knock on effect – destroying your relationship , losing your job due to ‘ odd ‘ behaviour etc , but at the end of the day it is a transitional period and it will end. Although , initially you may not like your new self nor where you end up , you will adjust and see your old self as the old you and that old you , does not exist any more.
This is how life works. Take it or leave it.
