I sometimes question my own existence. It's a little like day-dreaming... I'll imagine a situation where I really don't exist, and things are happening around me that I'm not part of. Sometimes I wake up and wonder if I'm alive.
By no means am I clinically depressed or have delusional thoughts, but I sometimes contemplate these things. When it gets ugly I just come out of the daydream back into reality.
Sometimes it's actually cathartic to imagine yourself not existing. You become more aware of the events happening around you, and you gain more control of Self by realizing that you truly do have impact on things and you're not just another body.
You think and can perceive, therefore you do exist. You may not be able to understand it all, but if you can recognize that first step, then you're gonna be alright.
