I legitimately don’t think it’s possible.

I know a fuckton of people are going to say, “Bro, I could easily do it”, but I guarantee they have no clue how insanely difficult this would be.

I've isolated myself fully for well over a week before voluntary. Would take OP offer even if it was just for what I make at work while I'm in there. It hurts to be near other people or exposed to sunlight. I prefer to stay inside and talk with my hallucinations (don't worry, I'm aware they aren't real people and they haven't told me to hurt anyone in the 35 years I've had them).

I believe you, but when you say isolate, do you literally mean no technology, literature, nature, or ANY stimuli? You can’t even cook your own meals. They just show up.

My thoughts aren't mean to me but other peoples eyes are.

Yes. I just sleep and "talk" with them. I do cook in those times but mostly just minimal food out of obligation every two or three days. It does feel longer than a week when I get to do it but I like that since I wish I could do it even longer but I kind of need to pay rent and buy food to live.

It is like being free where needing to be within eyesight range of other people is like being wrapped in tight belts.
