Season 7, gen or winchest: Sam's not lying when he says it's not that bad. It's not, because he can't let it be that bad. Because Dean is falling apart, drowning in alcohol and despair, and he wouldn't be able to deal with Sam falling apart as well.
The thing is, not falling apart is damn hard with the devil in his head, flashbacks and nightmares and an increasing need for self-inflicted pain to tell what's real. It would be much easier to just let go and let Dean take care of him, but he can't do that because he needs to take care of Dean instead, who doesn't want help but also can't deal on his own.
Dean doesn't notice what his issues are doing to his brother. He needs someone else to kick his ass into awareness and tell him to get a grip or he'll have another major issue to deal with soon.
