OK ... so I've noticed a big trend with Bipolars and in myself in general ... I wanted to see if anyone else here had the same thoughts, etc.

So, we all know that many Bipolars are creative people. Smart individuals that have brought some of today's literature, entertainment, music, art, etc to a different level.

I have always (since I can remember) been outspoken, smart, daring, and talented. At a young age of 3 or 4 I would answer the phone at my house saying, "Morales residence, with whom do I have the pleasure to speak with?" ... I was posing for the camera and playing pretend with such a vivid imagination it was scary!!

I then got into acting, singing, radio broadcasting for a children's radio station, drawing, etc. In school I was in Magnet and Advanced Placement programs dominating two languages and learning a third. Always at the top of my class.

I simply cannot remember a time where my mind was not planning, imagining, calculating, etc.

Just the other day I had some music on and instead of just listening to the songs my mind carried me into a new world. I was modeling again, singing karaoke of the song playing, or exercising my body to a lean and fit shape that Jennifer Lopez would be jealous of!

I had a smile from ear to ear and started making goals to working out after having my baby and getting back into a size 1-3 and looking for modeling work again. (I did modeling for years and stopped after being diagnosed and gaining weight due to meds).

I can spend hours just daydreaming and planning. Sometimes I come up with AWESOME ideas, put them into action and things work out great! But other times I set myself up for failure.

Here is one thing I did as a little girl that I always wondered if anyone else did this: I think about the numbers from 1-10. Each number has a color, a gender, an age, and a relationship to each other.

i.e: 1 is green, a middle aged woman married to 2 who is white and the same age. They are the parents of 3 who is a little boy (yellow) and 4 a teenage girl (green like her mom).

Anyone else have these thoughts? Moments of creativity?
