Hugs from here too.

My creativity when depressed is about expressing feeling. It's poetry and , and it's beautiful. When I am stable, I can barely color and can't write poetry at all. My hypomania doesn't involve grandiose ideas. It's usually like I get so anxious I can't focus enough and too agitated it to sit down to do anything creative. So my creativity I would say is higher when I am depressed. Definitely not worth the trade-off to me, though.
