This belief isn’t about diagnosis — it’s about doubt. It’s the fear that your emotional reactions, your thoughts, or even your memories make you unstable, irrational, or fundamentally broken.
When this belief is active, it can feel like you’re gaslighting yourself. You start to wonder if your reactions are real, or if you’re just “too much.” It can lead to disconnection, avoidance, or panic over losing control.
What It Sounds Like Internally:
- “What if I’m actually losing my mind?”
- “No one else reacts this way — what’s wrong with me?”
- “Maybe it’s all in my head.”
Where It Shows Up:
- Fear of being dismissed or disbelieved
- Avoiding emotional expression in case it’s “overreacting”
- Anxiety about intrusive thoughts or dissociation
- Minimizing symptoms or trauma to avoid being seen as unstable
What It Can Lead To:
Unchecked, this belief often evolves into:
- “I can’t trust myself.”
- “If people knew, they’d avoid me.”
- “I have to pretend to be okay at all times.”
