How other then the mood express yourself..panitings,music,ect. Just a wonder people keep on telling me people with bipolar art very good in the arts like that.. what do you all think.?

I am very creatively expressive...whether this is through sculptures, modern or crazy art...it has to be something unusual to catch my eye...otherwise I just pay no attention...

I agree artistic endeavors are a stronghold for beepers. Many are sheer geniuses in that area. Myself, I've played the guitar for years.

You betcha singing counts. Some of the best singers in history were talented, gifted and had an incredible way of conveying feeling.

I find I am really optimistic whilst through a manic episode...that I often find I don't really give a crap if someone else whom thinks its not gonna work....
Because 9 times out of 10...It works for U, and I always figure a way to jazz whatever creative endeavour up...no matter what it is...

I express my creativity with the written word. I have started several books, but in true BP style I move on and start the next on before I finish the last. I have gone back and finished a few though. I also crochet and write my own patterns for blankets, sweaters, and doilies.

what could be worst, is having an absolute mad rush of different inspirations at the same time...
this of course, causes a whole different senario...
Now..how many of us BPs can multi-task at the same time, and not lose track of what you are doing...
Yeah, it does get interesting when you think about it...
