I'm not better! Okay? It's like I'm screaming it from the rooftops, but no one seems to hear me! They just want me to say the right thing and act the right way so they can pat themselves on the back and say they cured me. I have news for you: that's not how it works! Mental illness doesn't just disappear because you want it to. And it's frustrating that people don't seem to understand that. I keep waiting for someone to figure it out, but it seems like I'm just going to be stuck in this cycle of pretending to be okay forever. It's exhausting.
