I know what you mean, though I would say instead: I don’t trust myself, nor do I trust my mind to always carry me through the labyrinthine hell my chemical imbalance and experiences have created. And, of course, always, always, always question the origin of any thought, which only further complicates the course. Jeez. I’m exhausted just writing it! Better put, no? Or have I missed your meaning, Tom? ;) LOL.
