I admired her immensely and her passing is probably always going to be a stinging loss.

A person being more mentally ill than another isn't a thing? Do you not draw a distinction between mild and severe mental illness? Or are you objecting to a hierarchy of different mental illnesses?

Mostly, I'm trying not to imply "Look at me, MY mental illness is worse."

[sarillia]

I can understand that.

To compare yourself with one person who had similar struggles (but completely different circumstances and indeed a different era) isn't always a good idea. You share this planet with MILLIONS of women who have many of your same issues and challenges, vaguely within your lifetime, many still on the planet, doing the best they can...and some who haven't survived at all. Do not compare yourself to the daughter of a Hollywood legend who got a lucky break (career-wise, perhaps not to her mental health, though) at a young age. It's like saying "Well, I'll never be Joan of Arc and save all of France, so I guess I'm a failure." It just doesn't work to compare yourself to people, you know? It rarely works out well. (Do you want to feel bad about yourself compared to people like Carrie, and smug comparing yourself to someone who's sunk really low or even died? It's not good either way, really!)

The reason she's famous are her Hollywood connections and the extremely unlikely chance of being in a movie that was as iconic as Star Wars. That's nothing to do with her strength. Everything else she achieved is, and that's what I find inspirational as someone with mental illness. You might be doing better than Carrie in some ways and worse in others, but she wouldn't judge you.

Your thought process makes no sense.

She's a totally different person with a totally different life. I have PTSD and I don't unfavorably compare myself to others suffering from it because we all have different circumstances around our mental issues and how we cope with them.
