Mentally ill people are enormously creative. They are some of the best artists. Locked facilites have arts programs to help channel this gift in otherwise tragic souls.

My mom is manic depressive, but not very creative.

However, my daughter is extremely creative, and i worry about her with our family history. She’s into theater, singing and writing. She was an excellent flute player at 15, and was starting to win all sorts of awards.

Last year, she came down with musician’s and writer’s cramp (focal dystonia). It causes uncontrollable muscle movements and cramping.

It’s made worse by stress. The doctors have said she fits the mold for that disorder. High achiever and doesn’t have good body awareness so they just push their bodies through pain and don’t know when to stop.

It makes me wonder about mental illness. Maybe they don’t know when to stop. Maybe if you catch it early, you can prevent them from falling into psychosis.

That’s why those yoyo’s in hollywierd pull so much crap. They’re useful tools to the left.

I don’t believe any of this babble I’ve been an artist all my life and i’m none of these things they mention but i’m supposed to believe i’m sick because i’m a creative person how the hell did i become Conservative from birth if i’m so sick in the head ?

I do concede that some mentally ill people are very creative but i don’t think one thing has to do with the other but on the same hand some people who are not creative are very mentally disturbed actors can make you laugh and cry but that don’t make them creative someone else writes their script and they play act to get the feeeeelings into it your feeeeeling and theirs .

This is just another notch in the belt of government doctors and socialist engineering
