It's not a fun place to be, mentally.
Yes, but they got locked out because Joy believed that she was the only necessary emotion and flipped out when Sadness started to step up and take a more active role. Hence my opinion that the film was more about being open to all your emotions and allowing them all to show through, and not bottling stuff up until you explode.

And before anyone jumps on me and says "You just don't understand", I do. I was diagnoed as Bipolar when I was 18(15 years ago), have taken medication since, and have attempted suicide due to severe depression on 3 separate occasions including taking 62 pills(Luckily enough I just ended up vomiting them all back up within an hour). So I know full well how it feels to not be in full control of my emotions, and I still don't think this film particularly represents that idea.
