Two people I really admire are Kaye Radsfield Jamieson and Elyn Saks. The both acheived high academic and career success despite having serious mental illnesses. Whenever someone tells me I can't do something or should take an easier job due to my MH/Addiction history, I just think of them and get motivated.
