I'm 23 now and i've been diagnosed with BPD for 5 years now. It's affected me since childhood though. Over time, fears of abandonment translated to intense need to be successful and I've been trying to start my business, without any knowledge or experience, for the past three years. It almost feels like I'm forcing it and whenever it fails I spiral into self loathing (you all know what I'm talking about). Of course, all the work I do is alone because I'm too afraid to share my work with others out of fear for rejection... 

Now I'm letting go of all that and I'm just going to focus on my career and I was wondering, does anyone know successful people officially diagnosed or open about their BPD?
