Something I noticed. It seems that a lot of people suffering from depression happen to be really creative with poems and things of that sort. I just wanted to let you all know that you are creative and i noticed

Re: BalishBun,
How true. Many famous people also suffered this, too, politicians as well. Fascinating, isn't it? |

Psychology Today magazine recently covered this idea again... it turns out that it's a 50-50 decision. (As to whether creative people become mentally ill, or if it happens that like in population, there are mentally ill people who are creative.)
But we do have a lot of creative members here, I agree!

I've noticed that about myself at least... but I tend to write depressing poetry when I'm depressed. And no poetry when I'm happy... *shrug*

I write fiction and am entering the arena of political commentary and suggestions. People have always said I have a way with words. I might actually have that, yet it is usually influenced by life around me. Better to live and write than to write and live afterwards.

i just think that depressed people are massively underemployed because of their disability. Many attempt to respond to their situation creatively as an adjustment. I dont believe that creative people professionally are prone to depression because of their creativity. Creativity is a form of artistic energy; depression is the opposite of energy. Depression robs us of creativity and we are forced to fight depression creatively to survive.
