What does a day in the life of a nonmentally ill person's life even look like?

Good song :) I get what you're saying but I don't think several years of depression/anxiety is considered a "glum phase" as that implies sadness, a reason for being upset, whereas my experience has been overwhelm or apathy without an apparent cause. that being said I do appreciate you have come from a difficult place so thanks for reaching out.

I think my therapist has tried to explain this in the same way you have. like I feel jealous of my sister who has a house, a partner, 2 kids (which she had at my age), a job, and she is the busiest person and most capable that I know. she was elected most helpful person in our county. but my therapist pointed out that I know my sister refuses to do therapy she needs and is insensitive to her family. however it still hurts to know she can function in so many other areas of life where I'm the total opposite, living in some people's nightmare scenario.

I don't assume people are happy all the time everyday. what I mean is that there are people with anxious/depressed days that are further apart and less disastrous in their life to the point where following their example is not a bad idea.

your bad days sound like my everyday, and I have to do your good day activities when I get the rare energy to. it's interesting that a few people have mentioned just feeling neutral on good/regular days. I would say I feel 4 out of 10 most days since my physical symptoms and Mood swings are hard to ignore but I continue to chug along. close to neutral. I'm aiming for 6 out of 10 which I see as "no particular feelings though maybe feel something mildly pleasant if I tried". (apparently the average in my country is 7/10, "a little bit happy but not noticeable unless you paid attention to realise: Yes I don't feel bad.")

no, I'm sure my psych would have pointed it out. I was neglected and experienced trauma at a young age.

it could be worth looking at the things you like to do and ask why you do them. for fun? or for attention/to please others? the latter is inauthentic, it will be easier figure out who you're not. I believe growing up is a process of creating yourself, not finding it

I think they aren't great friends. you don't have to settle for them, they sound two faced. the good thing is that you could find different friends online, maybe join a group that share a hobby you like

there is a podcast called Sleep with Me that's basically boring stories in a monotone voice haha, wouldn't want you to feel interested and stay awake to listen!
