How To Be Creative While Going Insane

June 18, 2009 - 10:37 pm

Does Depression Spark Creativity, or Do Creative People Escape in Their Art, to Escape Their Depression?

I consider myself an artist, a creative person, yet the same emotions that make me so passionate about art, seem to make me so deeply bothered by the challenges in life. I am a deeply sensitive person, and I take things to heart. Maybe it is like when I create, I don’t exist outside of the moment of creating, but when I worry, it seems like it consumes my every thought.

Well All I know is that I am going “Insane” because of a certain situation in my life, it is like all
I can think about. I need to escape into my creativity to blow off the anxiety and stress this situation has created. I have gone to the Art store and bought canvas, paints, brushes, jewelry making supplies, and airbrush paints, tee shirts to paint on and much more. I have enjoyed creating art you can wear, and art you can hang on your wall. I just enjoy creating. Art is very therapeutic.

So wish me luck as “I therapeutically unzip my creativity and find a way to happiness”

I agree with you that art is therapeutic..
I am not a painter like you mine is into writing..
i write poems,stories… and i write best when i am in a situation so difficult to escape. when i write i feel like i am drifted to another place and time and i forget about the world around me… suddenly everything seem perfect and wonderful. but, you wake up and reality comes back…
I realized now that-
art is therapeutic but not an escape.
we have to understand that life bites and that everything that comes along,specially the trials, sacrifices, failures and pains these are the things that would define our character…
therefore, you have to be grateful because at the end of your work you’d be able to make an OUTSTANDING piece because of all that… there is more life and emotion on your work because of what you’re going thru..

And i would like to quote on what you said that -to find a way to happiness…
happiness can’t be searched, it is within us all…

Im glad i ran onto your blog, do post more…

quite interesting, I’ve never heard about Peter being a harmless before, I’ve never sometimes heard a cockney express it.
