Survival mode is hard to get out of

Situations may change

Pain is no longer there

But the mentality remains

Staying in the fight or flight state

But there is nothing to fear

Anxiety is high

Blood pressure elevated

Heart and mind racing

Becauses the thoughts never changed

Life got better

But it's still hard to breathe

Dreading each day

Crying all night

Because the mind never said “everything is alright”

In this state, the mind made a home

In this mode, there is only a dark hole

In this state, there is a disconnect between reality and mentality

Survival mode is a trap
