People are saying that it’s “offensive” and “too happy” to be real, and that surprises me.
As someone who lives with mental illness (severe major depression with severe psychotic features), and was in psych ward for quite a while, I didn’t find it offensive. I found it to be remarkably accurate in portraying some of my own struggles, with mind-dulling medications, unwanted outbursts, deep paranoia, odd tics, etc. that I have had for over ten years.

I won’t pretend to have had the most difficult life, but it hasn’t been easy.
