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”
