mental illness

i've seen a lot of people talk about feeling this way but i don't really get it

if you're mentally ill, do you feel like you're faking your mental illness? why?

i'm not judging btw, i'm just curious about the thought process behind it because i have genuinely never felt that way myself

i've seen this point  being made too, and for the most part i agree but i have definitely seen places where it doesn't apply (cough pro ana communities cough cough)

Personally..
When feeling like faking it, it's mostly when i have to ask for help.
It's as soon as u step out of your bobble and u reach for help it's the thought that "do they believe me, can i really ask for this, don't someone else have it worse?" and i feel like as callum said too, u sometimes feel like people might see it as attention seeking.
Which some likely do, because i have seen people call out others on attention seeking for stuff that they knew nothing about.

that's totally something i've seen as well. it hurts so bad to see people who struggle and feel as if they are not worth the struggle bc they've made up their symptoms

yes omg

every time i am  somewhat happy or my life is not a disaster i feel like i'm faking my depression and other mental health issues and don't get help because i'm fine, haahahah then i fall into a deep hole and my life is in pieces and everythingis shit and i can barely brush my teeth or shower and don't leave the apartment/ house for days (i trapped myself in a 18 square meters apartment for 3 days without leaving once) and i'm like shit i need help but i can't i'm just so tired i can't.  Then i'm doing a bit better and i tried to get help two times during that short time span but it didn't work out. at this point  life gets really better (having money, people to interact with, a plan for the future,  more energy) and i'm back to i'm faking it i don't need help i'm doing fine and the circle begins again.

TW!!! I have scars all over my body from the bad parts of my life and when i'm in a good phase i'm like ohh i was just faking it i wanted attention maybe it wasn't serious, haha iwas such an emo haha they are ugly but i will get rid of them eventually because i'm not that kind of person.


the 'faking it' or 'doing it for attention' thing fucked me up a lot. intellectually i know it's not true and that sadly i am very much a mentally ill person but emotionally not so much but i hope i'll get there.

even if a person doesn't have the illness that they are 'pretending' to have, they still have a problem and are ill and should be taken seriously and recieve support


sorry for me ramblig but it's a topic that hits close to home

Since we haven't really done much. 
The times we should do it, they have told us only if u can or u can do it in small groups!
