I've done my best writing when my emotions were at the far ends of the specturm; feeling in love or in the depths of despair. I've written what seems like happy a happy little poem, but in essence, I was in despair.

No, I'm not willing to sacrifice my mental health in order to be creative in writing. However, I feel stable right now and I'm practicing my painting. What I'm painting doesn't require much creativity, I don't think.
