Fuck positive affirmations

They don't stop the heart palpitations

When my anxiety goes through the roof

I have no proof

That any of them are true

So instead I'm stuck feeling blue.

My psychiatrist gave me nearly impossible homework... "Use positive affirmations, even if you don't believe them." I'm stuck because of feeling like I'm lying to myself.
