I’m coming at this from the angle of somebody with chronic depression, which is as valid a starting point as any other psych condition.
I don’t know OP’s situation, but I do know what it’s like to have my experiences and feelings invalidated - my own mom’s denial meant I couldn’t receive professional help until I was an adult.
Not all psych patients have trouble correctly identifying their feelings. Or is the assumption that psych patients lie? Either way, it’d be wise to reconsider one’s stereotypes. I see no reason to assume OP’s condition one way or another (and indeed, any story on the internet should be questioned), but I do know how dangerous denial of help can be for somebody who’s suffering.
