Do you ever feel like if you get too involved with too many creative projects, it would trigger an episode? I have severe bipolar (on the spectrum) and my sister is a social worker and I told her that I don't really do any creative things anymore like painting or creative projects because I'm afraid it will trigger an episode. When I do make art or start a project, I can get consumed by it. I'm almost 40 (had my first episode almost 10 years ago) and I'm afraid to start new projects around art or just taking on too many projects around the house at once. Do any of you feel the same way?
