Yeah... I purposed did not mention Depression. I've written some of my best stuff during some of my lowest lows. It's the anxiety that kills it all for me.
Whether I'm depressed or not, if I choose, I can be creative. The depression, however, colors what I do. My writing is all about sadness and pain. When I'm not depressed, I tend to not write and do more "playful" things. After all, it's the "inner child" that does the creating.
