Perhaps it would be best to stop all this now.
Never to try.How he wants not to risk it anymore.

Summary
Oneshot on my view of the situation. Because genial Martin (and probably the author of the book, didn’t read, don’t know) left this little hint of unsolvedness as to Teddy/Andrew’s sanity, and thus left me with a hope.
Just off the end of the film. You may consider it an alternate ending. Much wishful thinking, someone might say, a salvation for minds like mine, who don’t accept the tragedy, the others might think. Chuck/Teddy, I tend to see it as a strong bromance, but interpret however you wish.
I'm still not sure this is a solved piece or a good idea, but I just had to throw it out and give them two a happier ending. Please don't throw slippers/boots/whatever footwear. Although I myself still feel like a lazy shit writer for some moments...
