Mental Health 3d
People always seem to look at me weird when I tell them I don’t feel safe mentally. I attempt to explain it to them and then they just tell me you’re having internal problems. And I’m like if it’s truly internal problems then why do they never go away?

What is making you feel this way? Ground yourself with powerful affirmations “these thoughts I’m having is just a phase and I will get over this endeavor. I love myself and the people around me? Remember you are safe, the universe recognizes you and wants to bring kindhearted people who care and support you along the way.”

I don’t believe you. Especially when the stimuli I get constantly makes me feel like I am in a 24/7 war zone.

Also I have tried affirmations, the mental hospital shoved them down my throat, they did nothing to help. It felt like gaslighting.

Also how I can convince myself I am save and frankly lie to myself when the external stimuli I get feels threatening? Why does everyone assume it’s always an internal problem? Because if it’s truly an internal problem then why does every coping strategy I am taught always fail and I go right back to what my brain naturally does? Because it’s external. No matter how hard I truly to change myself, evening still stays the same. That’s proof it’s not internal.
