@koen_hufkens thanks for writing this. for the vulnerability but also for its value to others. i see some of myself in this: i have borderline personality disorder which has some parallels to bipolar disorder (though i might have to have assessment for that apparently, too). i don't have any of the success though, and my several days at a time come from desperation at one day "making it". i don't know what to do. i've spent too much of the last few years homeless, and i'm at risk of being evicted next month again. seeing others' success, makes me think i'm not trying hard enough, or that i'm just not good enough. it's reassuring in a way to know it's not always so simple. that others are struggling even if they appear successful
