This is the greatest lie ever told and I disdain anyone who promotes it. Mental condition does not automatically align itself with the positive actions an individual coerces himself to take as an effort to "become better". Faking the so-called positive attitude/lifestyle through brute force only eliminates exterior symptoms and leads to the illusion of a healed patient, who is nothing but a perfect phantom the individual has created to guard his inner vulnerability from the social norm that rewards behaviors that contribute to collective stability of a functioning community, and punishes behaviors that are considered unconventional through alienation. We "fake it" only to be re-accepted into the community that used to label us as unsafe factors yet upon which we rely to survive, but we will never "make it" if we are conscious of the ingenious motivation and the exasperating effort behind the healed figure we pretend to be. A lie will never transform into truth no matter how many times it is repeated.
Posting this because I just saw my father posting on the family group chat that "OP is doing very well mentally because OP (gives a list of things normal people do)". He needs to ensure that my aging grandparents won't be too worried of me, but I know that he believes this as well. But no, I am not doing better. I am only going downhill inside but I learned to pretend better so at least I can rot on my own without bothering anyone or being bothered.
