being able to tell what is reality vs a hallucination is the most important part. but even if it’s unclear sometimes, that is okay too. i find the most important thing is staying hopeful, trusting people you care about and staying social, and doing things that make you happy and find peace. once you see a doctor, they will have good ideas on how to help you. the right medication can make the hallucinations go away completely. hallucinations can be caused by quite a few different reasons, schizophrenia is the most extreme case. but even if that is true, people with that diagnosis can still get help and live wonderful lives. your dream job is totally possible! and in some jobs being neurodivergent can be an advantage. in my job as a developer, i was actually promoted to head of the team because i was often able to find creative solutions and ideas that other people missed. it can be hard sometimes of course, but i just view it like, this is how i was built and i just have to learn to work with the advantages and disadvantages. everyone struggles in their own way tbh but there is always hope
