It’s not as simple as people think, even those who believe that they understand what mental illness is like. It’s not periods of depression and sadness. It’s a constant, ever-present feeling of loneliness. You can laugh, genuinely laugh, but it’ll be tainted with the knowledge that a few days later, you’ll be in the same bed, isolated, unable to get up.
