1) I do, but haven't felt as much, lately. I'm a good and creative dancer. I can also write, when in the right mind state, and more careful than I usually am here. My career focused on marketing writing. I've also particularly enjoyed short story and article writing. I'm a very good cook.

2) Some medications yes, some no. My illness, itself, has stifled or elevated it. Right now I feel it's stifled, and it has been for some time now. Partly my high dose of Seroquel, partly my mood level. Stress affects me cognitively. Depression can, too.

Achieving things while in a "stifled" mind state can be a challenge to a torture. It can be disabling. I know this well.

3) I've always felt like a dancer.
