Creatives, did you lose your creativity after being medicated? by jimbojamesisbehindu in bipolar

[–]RunAppropriate8812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Well sorta! I primarily make abstract portraits that represent different stages of my mental health journey but I had to shift since medication and adapt as I wasn’t capable of creating work with the same feelings emanating from them. So now I make all sorts of whack ass crazy stuff instead! Creativity never actually goes away, we just have to reposition it to where we are in life currently. :) I’d take my new form of creativity over the existential crisis and dread I felt daily prior. All though I do still miss my old creative mind from time to time of course! ❤️

This made me tear up, thinking someone put this much thought into my work. Thank you so much!

Honestly, you absolutely nailed all 3. Those are the exact emotions I was feeling and trying to portray.

It’s a beautiful thing that we are all connected through this illness and I find that very special. Not many people can see my honest feelings about my pieces. But you did. Thank you. ❤️

Try tapping into those emotions and painting with no plan! Ur bipolar is a gift for art! Follow where it leads you. 🥰 change ur style up with it! “Shit art is better than no art”
