"to act like I had a mental illness"
Nancy, I am not sure how you would do this, because many of us have mental illness and don't "act" any differently, just feel differently, or at least, don't show outward signs in public. In any event, you wouldn't need to "act" at all. All you would have to do is have a diagnosis on your record, or simply provide info to a doc indicating a history of depression, anxiety disorder, etc. I don't recommend doing this experiment, because it could affect your medical care, insurance elegibility, etc. for the rest of your life.
