why does the body heal physical wounds not mental

[alice in hell]

all physical wounds heal automatically and well for the organism to go back to baseline but the mental wounds just stay there

u would think the body has a map for peak mental health like it does for physical coherence but i think it just naturally stuffs all the bad stuff deep inside bc everyone is constantly in a sad state so it never has time to heal

like with physical wounds usually u don’t stay in a risky place for long but the mental wounds are incessant and inescapable

mental wounds r physical tbh

Because if that was the case nobody would reproduce or invent anything 

Mental anguish is supposed to serve as a tool, but this isn't really the case in the 21st century

what is this

if you keep picking at your scabs, then they don't heal. and if you keep ruminating on 'mental trauma', then it won't heal. forgetting the past makes room for the present/future, and is healthy.
