Music as therapy lol. Has anyone else ever been in this place and how did you learn to trust yourself again?

Lyrics
(Ha)
No I don’t trust myself
I want someone to tell me what to do
But I trust no one else
So tell me what the fuck I’m s’possed to do
This world has never felt safe to me so I’m just gonna go back in my snail shell
Don’t try to step to me– my skin was too thin– I’m a gastropod now
–World has never felt safe to me so I’m just gonna go back in my snail shell
Don’t try to step to me
Don’t try to step to me
(Deactivate)
No I don’t trust myself
Because I only think in black and white
You’re the Madonna, baby
Until you are the Devil in my mind
You don’t know how I cut it off so quick
But I was the first one I abandoned
The world has never felt safe to me so I’m just gonna go back in my snail shell
Life is a fantasy if you don’t choose to look at the world outside now
–World has never felt safe to me so I’m just gonna go back in my snail shell
Don’t try to step to me
Don’t try to step to me
(Deactivate)
Now I’m all by myself
And I don’t see how conditions can improve
When I trust no one else
And still don’t know the fuck I’m s’possed to do
Watching the shadows play, the night and the day outside my snail shell
Life at a snail’s pace cuz I don’t think my friends deserve my shit now
–World has never felt safe to me so I’m just gonna go back in my snail shell
Don’t try to step to me
Don’t try to step to me

As far as trusting yourself, for me there are good days and bad days.
Just realizing the smallest things can put me in a bad place and telling myself over and over again that it will pass even if takes hours, days, or weeks, seems to help a little.
I really like the arrangement and your vocals really carry through.
It takes something to perform an a cappella song like that!
Greatly done. Not a dull second, you brought me in straight away!
very good text!
btw: I always go back into my shell and I'm glad I have it!
