When you talk about "making" it, it is superficial. Something like a label. But when you become it, it gets ingrained into your system, your attitude, your behavior.

You don't achieve anything until you BECOME it.

All the best for your journey.
And if one hypothetically doesn't 'become' it then what? I mean in theory what you suggest seems to indicate someone could make them-self mentally ill by simply acting like it which I am skeptical of. So not so sure someone who's mentally ill can just fake they aren't and become 'non mentally ill'.

Too each their own though that is just how I feel about the matter.
