Do you think you have more creativity then the average Joe? And if so do you think it could be attributed to bi polar or is it just a coincidence?

I don't know if it's the bi polar, but I know I'm way more creative than the average joe. And I enjoy my creativity.

I can design images on GIMP and Inkscape, but I'm no Banksy by any stretch of the Imagination!

Plus, Graphics Designers stick rigidly with proprietary Creative Suite applications. I had considered Graphics Design and according to AOL's Jobs site I suit Graphics Design as an introvert.

What's a Bloke meant to do, eh?

The few people I know with bipolar are definitely more creative than the average joe, so I think so. I know if I'm not being creative, my bipolar takes control of everything and I have a lot more low periods, so I think we're supposed to use that creativity to the full, otherwise we can get suffocated almost. You should embrace that side of things and use it to it's full I say!

That video made me laugh - but just barely.
There are a lot of people who make fun of artists, but more people hate lawyers!!! You don't see artists chasing ambulances or keeping killers from convictiction. (Sorry if there are lawyers on here.) I met a great immigration attorney once.
Also interesting how some people see plumbers as lower class, when it is a highly skilled trade that pays so well and provides such a vital service.

Not a bipolar thing, imho : )
