I think the meds cause that, Creativelight. They just drain the creative drive. Thank goodness the great artists like Michaelangelo, DaVinci, etc., didn't live in an age when psychotropic drugs were used. So much beauty would have been lost to the world.

The same thing is true today, as well. Forget the stigma; watch your drugs so that you aren't drained of your creative drive. Let those who know nothing about creativity, imagination, and skill worry about the stigma. They're the ones who are in real need of enlightenment.

I hope I don't get bleeped for this one. But I once heard someone say, "He's got somethin' wrong wif his haid". Now, how's that for stigma? I sometimes think it's that level that reveals more of itself than it does anything about the bipolar personality.
