When people tell me, “Trust your gut! Follow your intuition!” Like, bitch, I have anxiety. My “gut” is usually telling me that everyone hates me and that I’m going to die. I can’t trust what that motherfucker tells me.

Precisely.  Having a condition including cognitive distortion (Like anxiety, depression, paranoia, OCD, ect.) is like flying by instruments – you know you can’t trust what you’re seeing with your own eyes, so you have to constantly compensate, reevaluate, find baselines to match against… it’s exhausting some days.
