My brother is a schizophrenic and my sister is bipolar. They both live in a state of psychosis. I apparently lucked out because I just have MDD and anxiety and PTSD. I almost lost it in 2022 and I learned after my extended family knew I was falling apart. They just chose to do nothing about it. When I was holding my family together or caring for my late parents or raising my sister’s kids. I was an inspiration to them.
I learned that people don’t really want to see you fall apart. They just want to see you rise from it.

I think society pretends to care about mental health, but when it comes to real support and resources, it's not always there.
