I'd been dreading making a phone call to a customer I talk to every couple of weeks. Our interactions over the phone have always been very laid back and she jokes a lot and so I joke around a lot with her too, just to make her think I'm normal and nothing is wrong. But I'm not in a good place right now and the thought of having to act like I was, was just exhausting.

Which is when I realized that people (including myself) that are dealing with a form of mental illness are probably some of the best actors ever.
