It really, really doesn't help to read about how successful other biplolars are.
Or reading a list of famous people who were/are bipolar.
Makes me feel really, really bad about myself. Like a deadbeat, underachiever bum.
I'm 44 and have been treated for bipolar since I was 16. I have managed to finish college and have had some part time jobs in my field. But that is as far as it goes.
Wouldn't see my name on any of those lists.
