I have a lot of respect for your ability to make a blog about something that is already overwhelming enough to "just" be suffering. Being both high functioning

I have a lot of respect for your ability to make a blog about something that is already overwhelming enough to "just" be suffering.
Being both high functioning and with severe psychiatric issues is very weird when dealing with the world: you can sometimes drain your energy to almost have a "super" ability to do things (focus, make stuff, communicate, whatever it is), yet you're actually suffering immensely and it often doesn't help that you might get praised for the very same things that you should get help for. There's fear of losing some of those bits when you enter a path of medical treatments, there's immense energy spent doing inner work that people who are considered "healthy" never really have to be doing. It's like the neighbour is driving up a hill while you're hiking up a mountain with a broken leg.
So here's a hug.
