You can still feel insecure even with all the security provided to protect you. EX: "I have everything, but I still feel insecure."

Hope that helps,

A mental lapse: A usually minor or temporary failure of the mind. A mental lapse occurs when you forget what you know for a moment then recall it shortly afterward.

In other words, in one of my sentences, I unconsciously made a mistake then a moment later, I realized what the mistake was.

Make sense?

Do you mean "I drew a blank" by the bolded part? Just to make sure, I never ran across it.
