An Understanding of Sorts

Wake Up Disorder; deffined as a psychotic disorder characterized by shutting out reality and submerginh ones self into a world of their making. I was diagnosed with this when I was way too young to even make sense of that explanation. While I now know what it means, I still can't understand how to tell one reality from the other.

After the death of my mother my father moved us into his childhood home deep in a hemlock forest. We lived there in one reality while in another I was a prisoner being starved slowly to death.

Which experience was truly real? Am I still living the wrong one? Maybe recounting the ordeal can help me figure it out...
